Servitization
75% of tech companies believe servitization and full-service strategies will soon become key issues. Due to technical developments, and the focus on sustainability for example, simply delivering products or services is no longer enough. Customers expect additional services. Yet only one third of companies have developed a detailed approach to these developments. With the Expectations Monitor, you know what your customers expect from you and how you can prepare for that.
Full-service strategy
Anyone who wants to focus on a full-service strategy would do well to clearly chart their customers’ needs and expectations. The Expectations Monitor can do that. It is subsequently important to implement this strategy step by step and sector by sector, as they will call for different approaches, competencies and behaviour. Expectations can help you with this.

The valuable qualitative information this generates forms the basis for a thorough analysis and a concrete step-by-step plan. Expectations will help you with that.
As you choose which customers you invite to participate, you can adopt a targeted approach. Your customers will appreciate the personal approach of using the Expectations Monitor, as the extremely high response rate of 65-75% reflects. This is much higher than for a customer satisfaction survey.
