Communication Breakdown

A lien was placed on my account by external auditors for a year without me being alerted. No reason was given and it was not warranted because my BVN was linked to the account. I had however been paying in monies with no hassels. When i needed to withdraw, I was in limbo for two days because they couldn't ascertain who placed the lien and why. My argument was why wasn't i informed for a full year about this development. A simple text message or email would have sufficed.It was later resolved because the name on my BVN didn't follow the same sequence as my name on the account...which was not a problem before, but a request for me to update my details would have spared me the embarrassment of having to placate a vendor I needed to pay some monies urgently to.

Auto Dealership Customer Acquisition Drivers

Knowing your customer acquisition drivers (why they chose you and not your competition) gives you strategic insight when designing and deploying marketing communication content and what you see in the image are researched customer acquisition drivers for a the Auto Dealership industry in Nigeria by Neetch Company . Customer acquisition drivers impact customer retention because after conversion, if the experience your customers have post buying, using or sharing your product or service does not align with the expectations leading to conversion (reasons for choosing you), it is highly likely that your customers will churn. Your customer churning negatively influences your brand integrity and for an auto dealership trust me, don't underestimate the power of word of mouth (WOM) as a channel of product/service awareness! This and a whole lot more I will be sharing with the entire team at one of Nigeria's leading Auto Dealerships tomorrow. Ready for it! hashtag # training hasht...

Stanbic IBTC Improves Banking Experience #NoMoreDepositSlips!

It is always super cool to see businesses/organizations proactively improve their customers' experience and in this case, Stanbic IBTC changes the game for the banking industry in Nigeria! About 2 weeks ago, I got a pop up message saying; " Avoid filling deposit forms, just walk straight to the teller and speak your transactions. Call 01-4222222 for more " Out of curiosity, I went to a branch of the bank and requested for a deposit slip. The security officer in the banking hall asked if I needed to make a cash transfer and on confirmation, I was told that the bank no longer requires deposit slips and I could simply speak with a teller and they will handle my transaction. At this point, I knew I had to explain my objective and requested to see the branch/operations manager. I gave him my business card, explained what I do and why I needed to try out both services to ascertain the impact on my experience as a customer and he had to dig in to get me a deposit slip so I...

Sometimes, these tags fall off or someone forgot to tag them and then you have to look 👀 for a shop attendant? Shop attendant then takes your item to the cashier to scan the barcode and God help you if you need to do this for half the items on your shopping list! 😂 Well, Prince Ebeano Supermarket (Lagos, Nigeria) has figured out a way for customers to self serve when faced with this challenge (sometimes the tags do fall off) and invested in technology. (see pictures). You find an item with no price tag? Good news is you no longer need a shop assistant. Simply locate the barcode scanners/readers at different sections of the supermarket and check yourself! Imagine how many minutes you save shopping! This is a good one Prince Ebeano Supermarket and I’m hoping that The Shoprite Group of Companies Nigeria and The SPAR Group Ltd Nigeria will make some technological improvements to enh...
