Customer Advocacy: The Secret To Loyal Financial Services Customers

This is the fifth document in the "Customer Advocacy" series.

by Bill Doyle

with Bruce D. Temkin, Allison Corbett, Peter Hult


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Financial services consumers continue to grow more mistrustful of firms, more insecure, and more hands-on. To combat these changes, most financial services firms have focused on raising satisfaction. But satisfaction does not drive consumers to deepen relationships with firms. What does? Customer advocacy — the perception that the firm does what's best for its customers, not just what's best for its own bottom line. Firms that demonstrate the four components of customer advocacy — simplicity, benevolence, transparency, and trustworthiness — enjoy the most important fruits of loyalty: customers willing to consider the firm for future purchases.
