| What is Customer Intelligence |
"Customer Intelligence is the process of gathering, analyzing and exploiting information of a company's customer base. Information is typically obtained about customer existing and future needs, customer decision making processes, customer behaviour and trends as well as using data about the competition, conditions in the industry, and general economic, technological, and cultural trends. This spot on Customer Intelligence reveals the compelling strategies and practices behind today's success stories – and provides a dynamic forum where thought leaders, business innovators and customer-focused executives can identify valuable opportunities. Drawing on the perspectives and experiences of leading lights in the customer intelligence community, we demonstrate how intelligent analysis and action is setting the stage for the next economy.

Abstract: “Know your customers and give them what they want” is the fundamental principle of marketing. This principle is simple in theory, but increasingly challenging to put into practice. Short of being a mind reader or having a crystal ball, it’s difficult for marketers to know what’s on a customer’s mind today, or anticipate what the customer may need or want tomorrow. |

| Abstract: A 2002 Harvard Business Review article stated that after a year, customers who were surveyed regarding satisfaction with a service interaction (with a financial institution) were more than three times as likely to open a NEW account, less than half as likely to defect and were more profitable than consumers who had not been surveyed (Dholakia & Morwitz, 2002). |

| Abstract: Not all 45- to 55-year-olds with a household income between $50,000 and $75,000 have the same purchase interests and spending habits. For this reason, static demographic data should not be used as the building blocks of a well-defined customer segmentation system. Demographic data may be used to describe customer segments (profiling), but it is much less effective in distinguishing interests and spending habits than customer behavioral data. |
