A few of you have asked why we have been so quiet! “Normally we would have received a couple of customer centric articles by now” says Greg Magennis from Stagen based in Dallas.

Well, the reason is that we have been working very hard on developing and launching MirrorWave™ - The disarmingly simple way to improve customer relationships and research in one!

Whether you are pursuing the all important retention strategy or a growth strategy, whether you are a CEO, CIO, COO, CRMmer, Marketer, Account Manager or Researcher (and many others) MirrorWave™ can help!

As most of you will be aware, Customer Experience Management Guru Reg Price and SRD Group have been working very closely over the last 4 years in the areas of Customer Experience Management, Customer Relationship Management and Customer Research. Through working together and by listening to our clients and their customers, we concluded that there had to be a better way of conducting more meaningful, more actionable, more customer bonding research! Why you ask? Well I am sure that many of you have experienced this:

This is not the only frustration or concern over Customer Research however, to see other frustrations of research and see how many you relate to, I bet that most of you can really relate to many, if not all!

Reg and SRD Group thus set about coming up with a research methodology and dashboards that would not only get organizations the feedback that they want and need more often in a way that strengthens their relationships with their customers, but in a way that leads to better and new ways of managing the customer base. We wanted to truly bring the ‘Voice of the Customer’ into the organization, something that we know (through our experience) is lacking in most (if not all) companies and, in particular, CRM applications. We wanted to improve research and make CRM more ‘outside in rather than inside out’ focused!

You can find out more about MirrorWave™ by visiting www.MirrorWave.com or by dropping me an email and I will gladly discuss and /or present MirrorWave™ to you either in person or via a web based GoToMeeting.

Kind regards

The Last Word

Longitudinal research is a type of research method used to discover relationships between variables that are not related to various background variables. This observational research technique involves studying the same group of individuals over an extended period of time. Data is first collected at the outset of the study, and may then be gathered repeatedly throughout the length of the study. In some cases, longitudinal studies can last several decades.

Imagine the strength of your relationship with your customers if you did this!
