1 Audit your current activities

The first step to get rid of time-wasting activities is to know what they are. You can use a tool like RescueTime or Toggl to track how you spend your time on different tasks and projects, giving you a clear picture of where your time goes. Additionally, ask yourself questions such as how often you check your email, social media, or phone notifications; how much time you spend on meetings, calls, or webinars that are not directly related to customer retention; how often you switch between different tasks or platforms without finishing one; and how much time you spend on repetitive or low-value tasks that can be automated or delegated. This will help you identify areas for improvement and focus more of your efforts on customer retention activities.

Identify and prioritize high-impact retention strategies by analyzing data to pinpoint inefficiencies. Streamline processes by automating repetitive tasks using technology like CRM systems and marketing automation tools. Train staff to optimize time management skills and focus on value-added activities. Implement clear guidelines and performance metrics to track progress. Regularly review and refine strategies to ensure alignment with business objectives. Eliminate non-essential activities that do not contribute to customer retention goals.

2 Prioritize your customer retention goals

Once you have a clear idea of how you spend your time, you can start to prioritize your customer retention goals and activities. A framework like the Eisenhower Matrix or the SMART criteria can help you sort out tasks based on their urgency and importance. Additionally, using a tool like Asana or Trello to organize your tasks and projects into categories, such as customer feedback and surveys, loyalty and rewards programs, education and onboarding, support and service, and advocacy and referrals, can be beneficial.

Once you have an idea on which activity takes how much time, try to benchmark time required in general by an average employee for those activities.

3 Eliminate or delegate the time-wasters

Now that you have a clear picture of your priorities, you can begin to cut out or assign the time-wasting activities that don't align with your customer retention goals. To do this, you can set boundaries and limits for your email, social media, and phone use, and schedule blocks of time dedicated to customer retention activities. Additionally, reduce or avoid unnecessary meetings, calls, or webinars that are not relevant or productive. Furthermore, automating or outsourcing repetitive or low-value tasks that can be done by software or other people is a great way to save time. Finally, don't be afraid to say no to requests or opportunities that are not aligned with your customer retention goals.

Wherever you see a gap vis-a-vis others, try reducing the gap in terms of time spent. Also at this point identify the activities that can be delegated or put on hold.

Finally, you can optimize your customer retention processes to make them more efficient and effective. Consider creating templates, scripts, or checklists for common tasks, such as sending emails, making calls, or creating reports. Utilize tools, apps, or integrations that can help streamline and automate your customer retention workflows. Test and measure your customer retention activities and results to gain insights into retention rate, churn rate, customer satisfaction, or net promoter score. Additionally, learn and improve from your customer feedback, data, and best practices to free up more time and energy for customer retention efforts. By following these tips you can improve productivity and performance to deliver more value and satisfaction to your customers.

Jeden Monat ruft mich mein Mobilfunkanbieter an, um mich über neue Produkte und über Vertragsverl?ngerungen zu informieren... ist dies sonderlich hilfreich? Aus meiner Sicht nicht! Meine Erwartung an mich selbst als Berater meiner Kunden ist es, bei jedem Kontakt mit dem Kunden Mehrwert für ihn zu schaffen und ihm nicht den reinen Verkauf oder die Vertragsverl?ngerung in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Vorlagen, Reportings und Analyse, Vergleiche zum Wettbewerb oder eine Auswertung der aktuellen Marktlage sind relativ einfache aber rein informative Inhalte, um den Kontakt mit den Kunden zu halten und nachhaltig positiv in den K?pfen zu bleiben.
