DISCUSS
• Identify one aspect about customer service in
this university.
• Discuss ways and strategies to improve the
customer service aspect.
• Choose one or two presenter(s) and present to
the class.
The Emergence of CRM Practice
• Growing de-intermediation process in many
industries due to the advent of sophisticated
computer and telecommunication technologies
that allow producers to directly interact with endcustomers.
• For example, in many industries such as the
airline, banking, insurance, computer software, or
household appliances industries and even
consumables, the de-intermediation process is
fast changing the nature of marketing and
consequently making relationship marketing more
popular.
The Emergence of CRM Practice
• Total quality movement. When companies
embraced the Total Quality Management (TQM)
philosophy to improve quality and reduce costs, it
became necessary to involve suppliers and
customers in implementing the program at all
levels of the value chain.
• In the current era of hyper-competition, marketers
are forced to be more concerned with customer
retention and loyalty.
The Emergence of CRM Practice
• Customer expectations have been changing
rapidly. Consumers are less willing to make
compromises or trade-offs in product and service
quality.
• Internationally oriented companies trying to
become global by integrating their worldwide
operations.
The Emergence of CRM Practice
• CRM focuses on automating and improving the
institutional processes associated with managing
customer relationships in the areas of recruitment,
marketing, communication management, service, and
support.
• In the case of a student, this might be seen through the
interaction with and between the admissions, registration,
financial aid, student accounts, and housing offices.
The Emergence of CRM Practice
• For a faculty or staff member, a CRM business strategy
would optimize interaction with departments administering
benefits, payroll, staff training, information technology (IT),
or facilities.
• From the perspective of the college or university, the
CRM business strategy provides a clear and complete
picture of each individual and all the activities pertaining
to the individual.
A CRM Process Framework

• Comprised of the following four sub-processes: a
customer relationship formation process; a
relationship management and governance
process; a relational performance evaluation
process, and a CRM evolution or enhancement
process.

e-CRM
Two components:
• The use of direct-to-customer channels,
principally e-mail and web. Emerging trends are
the use of ATMs and kiosks.
• Using IT to select relevant material to be
presented to the customer, in terms of content,
offers, and support information.
• Can you give examples in our education
environment? Paying fees through internet.
e-CRM
The key points to e-CRM:
• Fast service – customers are supposed to find
adequate information immediately.
• Meaningful – customers expect content will be
presented in an interesting interactive and
focused manner.
• Customer driven – information provided should
be what customers want to know, not what the
organization thinks customers might be interested
in.
• Let’s try on UPM web page and check.
e-CRM Technology
The channels to e-CRM:
• E-mail – however, can be voluminous and may
not be answered timely and in accurate fashion.
• Web-form technology – web forms are
structured, pre-formatted static web pages with
inputs fields that allow customers to fill out
information. Simple and inexpensive interaction.
However, there is a privacy intrusion.
• Chat technology – allows real time interactions
with customers and is becoming more popular to
replace the traditional phone call.
• Can you give examples?
8 Rules For Good Customer Service
1) Answer your phone.
2) Don’t make promises unless you WILL keep
them.
3) Listen to your customers.
4) Deal with complaints.
5) Be helpful - even if there’s no immediate profit
in it.
6) Train staff to be ALWAYS helpful, courteous,
and knowledgeable.
7) Take the extra step.
8) Throw in something extra.
Good Customer Service Is No Longer Enough
• Customers have more options than ever beforeand feel less loyalty.
• They want products and services fast, cheap,
quick-from whoever will provide them.
• The competitive advantage is now in our ability
to KEEP customers and build repeat business
and this applies in education sector as well.
Good Customer Service Is No Longer Enough
• It has to be superior, WOW, unexpected service.
In a nutshell, it means doing what you say you
will, when you say you will, how you say you will,
at the price you promised-plus a little extra
tossed.
Conclusion
• CRM refers to a conceptually broad
phenomenon of business activity, and if the
phenomenon of cooperation and collaboration
with customers becomes the dominant paradigm
of marketing practice and research, CRM has
the potential to emerge as the predominant
perspective of marketing which is also
applicable to the education sector especially the
higher education sector.
