The West Brom Extends Its Commitment to Listening to Voice of Its Members with Enhanced Rant & Rave Customer Engagement Across All Branches
Coventry (PRWEB UK) 24 June 2015 -- The West Brom, with 450,000 members, has long been committed to actively listening and responding to the voice of its customers and to foster a truly customer-centric culture. Since 2012 they have been working with Rant & Rave, a provider of customer engagement solutions, to capture feedback from customers who contact them by phone.
The in-branch experience will be rolled out to all 37 of the West Brom branches. The building society will now actively encourage its members to share their thoughts about any aspect of the service they receive. Using a combination of 'event-driven' feedback requests - a text message or email sent after a transaction or an appointment, and 'listening posts' - posters which invite members to share their thoughts via text message or QR code – the building society will now be able to capture a 360 degree view of their members' experience.
Tony Hall, Head of Branches, Direct and Intermediary at the West Brom, said: “We take the voice of our members so seriously at the West Brom that what they say forms part of our balanced score card - a business performance indicator that we look at and report on from board level down.
“Before we launched Rant & Rave we relied on mystery shoppers to give us a snapshot of the type of experience our members could expect in branch, but this method was focused on measuring what we thought was important to our members rather than giving them a chance to let us know what really mattered to them.
Hall continues: “The introduction of Rant & Rave has allowed us to capture and respond to member issues in the moment. Understanding how members feel about their in-branch experience was a logical next step for us in our customer engagement journey. We've been thrilled by the amount of praise we've received from members who have Raved about their experience - it's very hard to find a tool more powerful than the actual words of our customers to instill a sense of pride and thank our staff for a job well done.”
Dennis Fois, CEO, Rant & Rave, said: “It's always been clear to us that the West Brom are not satisfied with simply paying lip service to what their members think, but are instead wholly committed to being driven by it. Such a strategy is key to giving them a competitive edge and will no doubt make them an attractive option for members and prospects alike. We're proud to continue to support them in their Raveolution.”
