4. Defining the Customer Loyalty Behavior
Landscape
Today’s B2B and B2C customer is more mobile, contentseeking, impatient, and independent than at any time in
history. Even with all of these new decision dynamics, the
fundamentals of trust and perceived value have become
increasingly powerful drivers of loyalty and bonding.

5. Why Customer Loyalty Is At Growing Risk
!
!
!
!
!
!
Companies aren’t current with rising consumer expectations,
need for personalized value
Loyalty programs are passive, miss mark
Digitization/mobile makes everything transparent and
accessible; companies arent omnichannel
Overfocus on rational, functional touch points and
transactional value rather than overall experience
No unique relevance or innovation for consumers; everything
becomes a price-based commodity
Customer-centricity, and especially employee engagement and
ambassadorship, are key ‘back to basics’ elements of value
delivery missing from many organizations

6. Becoming a More Customer-Centric Enterprise:
Moving from Naïve to Natural
•
•
•
•
Customer Awareness – customers known, but in aggregate; the
organization believes it understands customer needs; measurement of
stakeholder behavior is rudimentary, if it exists at all; hierarchical
management model; chimneyed communication, with little teaming
Customer Sensitivity – customers known, but still mostly in
aggregate; service more in evidence (focus on problem/complaint
management); measurement is attitudinal and functional, with little
emphasis on emotional drivers; traditional management hierarchy
Customer Focus – customers both known and valued, down to
individual level; customers recognized as having varied needs; service
and value provisions are enterprise priorities; more proactive
communication and collaboration with customers; more horizontal
management structure
Customer Obsession – customer needs and expectations are well
understood throughout the enterprise; everyone provides value; loyalty
behavior is paramount, and optimal relationships are a key priority, with
service a vital, and profitable element of delivery; management is
extremely horizontal, with emphasis on customer inclusion and teaming

17. Many Ways to Define Employee Engagement
Analysis conducted by The Conference Board in 2006 showed
that, among twelve leading engagement research companies,
there were 26 key drivers, of which eight were common to all:
-‐
Trust
and
integrity
–
How
well
do
managers
communicate
and
'walk
the
talk‘?
-‐
Nature
of
the
job
–
Is
it
mentally
s'mula'ng
day-‐to-‐day?
-‐
Line
of
sight
between
employee
performance
and
company
performance
–
Do
employees
understand
how
their
work
contributes
to
the
company's
performance?
-‐
Career
growth
opportuniGes
–
Are
there
opportuni'es
for
growth
within
the
company?
-‐
Pride
about
the
company
–
How
much
self-‐esteem
do
the
employees
feel
by
being
associated
with
their
company?
-‐
Coworkers/team
members
–
How
much
influence
do
they
exert
on
the
employee’s
level
of
engagement
?
-‐
Employee
development
–
Is
the
company
making
an
effort
to
develop
the
employee's
skills?
-‐
RelaGonship
with
one's
manager
–
Does
the
employee
value
rela'onship(s)
with
manager(s),
and
is
there
trust
and
credibility
between
the
levels?
Typically, little or no mention/inclusion of ‘customer’ or ‘customer
focus’ in measures or analysis of employee engagement. Though
customer experience, and resultant behavior, is impacted by
engagement, it tends to be more tangential than purposeful in nature.

18. The Three Components of Employee
Ambassadorship
Commitment to Company - Commitment to, and being positive
about, the company (through personal satisfaction and an expression
of pride), and to being a contributing, and fully aligned, member of the
culture.
Commitment to Value Proposition - Commitment to, and alignment
with, the mission and goals of the company, as expressed through
perceived excellence (benefits and solutions) provided by products
and/or services
Commitment to Customers - Commitment to understanding
customer needs, and to performing in a manner which provides
customers with optimal experiences and relationships, as well as
delivering the highest level of product and/or service value.

24. Employee Ambassadorship Diagnostics
Customer Focus
Empowerment, though showing a high concentration, is not associated with ambassadorship
as much as other factors. A relatively low concentration of Lack of Recognition among
Saboteurs extends beyond saboteurs suggests that this problem is pervasive in other
employee segments as well.

25. Employee Ambassadorship Diagnostics
Business Alignment
Motivation to help the hotel be successful and clear understanding of hotel mission, though
receiving high agreement, were not particularly strong in their association with Ambassadorship.
The negative effects of poor ratings on information about the hotel having tools and technology,
encouragement of diverse perspectives and decision participation likely extend beyond Saboteurs.

27. Hotel Ambassadorship Swing Voter Analysis
Classification of Attributes
In swing voter analysis, key hotel drivers are divided into three groups
depending on their unique contribution to employee growth and/or risk.
These are:
•
Delighters: Improving performance on these attributes will move swing
voters into the ambassadors group while declining performance on them
has little impact. These delighters tend to have impact if there is good
employer performance where good performance wasn’t expected.
•
Dissatisfiers: Declining performance on some attributes will move swing
voters into the saboteur group while improving performance has little
impact. These dissatisfiers tend to have impact when there is poor
performance where good performance is expected.
•
Dual Effects: These dual effect attributes show improved overall feelings
about the hotel in both directions, i.e. they are associated with moving swing
voters into the Ambassador camp with good performance as well as with
moving swing voters into the Saboteur camp with poor performance.
The following charts show selected attributes that are either Delighters or
Dissatisfiers

Building employee trust and pride in the hotel (viewpoint that the guests believe
Las Vegas Hotel/Casino has their interests at heart), pride in their work and their
accomplishments at work, clear supervisory direction and training, and a clear
view to the potential of a promising future at Las Vegas Hotel/Casino all can create
a higher proportion of Employee Ambassadors at Las Vegas Hotel/Casino.

(Risk

Feelings of low self-esteem because of the perceived worth of their jobs, feelings
of isolation from the Las Vegas Hotel/Casino mission, its management and fellow
employees, feelings that they are not adequately enabled to carry out their
respective tasks, and beliefs that Las Vegas Hotel/Casino is not a leadership resort
all contribute to turning neutral and disenchanted employees into Employee
Saboteurs.

32. Summary of Key Employee Ambassador
Behavior Implications for Hotel
!
Hotel had a stronger employee ambassadorship profile than the
service industry in general (ambassadorship is the likelihood of
employees to be so positively disposed toward hotel that they actively
promote it as a place to work).
! There is a significantly higher percentage of ambassadors among hotel
employees (compared to service industry employees in general);
! however, several hotel departments had high percentages of saboteurs,
including restaurant, security, housekeeping, bell, and casino bars,
lounges
!
Hotel employees had significantly lower one year from now
employment likelihood scores compared to the service industry as a
whole.
! However, their higher likelihood to recommend hotel as a place to work
suggest reasons for leaving may be less driven by dissatisfaction than one
would expect and more driven by expected career changes or by the
availability of several alternative employers for the same jobs in Las Vegas

33. Summary of Key Implications
for Hotel, contd.
! “Swing Voter Analysis”
! Trust and personal accomplishment are primary delighters
(drivers of ambassadorship)
! Perceived value of services employees provide is a major
dissatisfier (driver of prospective sabotage), especially
among key customer-facing groups, followed by having a
clear understanding of the hotel mission, vision, and goals
! Primary dual effect attributes (both driving ambassadorship
and saboteur status) are stress level and job enjoyment,
perhaps two sides of the same coin.

36. Customer-Centricity Is About More than
Structure, Strategy, and Systems….
!
!
!
!
!
Most brands and corporations get by on macro, passive, and
transactional approaches to customer relationships: service
speed, price promotions, merchandising gimmicks, new
product offerings, etc.
Customers, as a result, see no brand personality or brand-tobrand differentiations
Experience of brand is non-engaging and one-dimensional,
easily capable of replacement
Customer has no personal investment in choosing, or staying
with, one brand or supplier over another
Per Raj Sisodia and John Mackey (Conscious Capitalism): “…
many corporations seem to exist primarily to maximize the
compensation of their executives and secondarily to create
shareholder value, rather than to optimize sustained value creation
for all stakeholders.”

37. …It’s About Emotions, Humanity…and Profit
!

“Being human” – Not just a buzzword, especially in brandbuilding and leveraging customer relationships
To better understand customers, enterprise must think in
emotional and human terms
To become more trusted, organizations must connect with
customers through branded experiences
Emotional connections in all elements of value – service,
advertising, packaging, billing, products, etc. – should be
thought out for consistency
Sisodia, Sheth, and Wolfe (Firms of Endearment): “What we call
a humanistic company is run in such a way that its stakeholders –
customers, employees, suppliers, etc. - develop an emotional
connection with it. Humanistic companies seek to maximize their
value to society as a whole, not just to their shareholders. They are
the ultimate value creators. They create emotional value,
experiential value, social value, and of course, financial value.”

38. Based on Ambassadorship-Based Strategic
Research, What Customer-Centric Actions Should
Companies Be Taking?
!
!
!
!
Employees, at all levels and in all functions, need to have a thorough
understanding of what is important to customers so that their actions
match customer expectations and performance requirements.
Within a customer-centric enterprise, employees’ behavior needs to
be aligned around positive customer experiences and customer
loyalty; driving employee engagement, enablement and energy,
components of ambassadorship, should be stressed
Management must build processes, technology, training, reward,
recognition, and organizational/cultural practices that support
employees being able to optimize customer experience.
Companies should evaluate the effectiveness of key metrics
associated with delivering customer value – financial and nonfinancial performance, addressing customer life cycle, amount of
cross-functional collaboration to support customers.
