Know your Client Spectrum

We are all aware of the basic Customer Service mantra- "Know your Customer". It just makes sense that we gear our services and their delivery methods based upon our customer's requirements. Organizations- that are very careful to follow this adage with their outside customers, totally forget to follow it for their internal clients!

Internal clients are equally important, as they help to successfully run the Organization and help bring out better products/ services for all. Internal clients are also different, in that they typically have a whole range of requirements, depending on their role and function in the grand scheme of things (of running the Organization). This introduces the concept of Client- Spectrum. By knowing your clients, you can help enhance their customer experience and also increase service delivery effectiveness and performance efficiency.

Typical Method of Working

• The wide range of client-areas and their specialized requirements are not understood.
• More time is spent mainly in defining service delivery, without truly understanding how each client group will utilize them.
• Client feels unappreciated and resents Service Delivery team.
