Don't Lose Customers, Gain Understanding!

It always costs more to find new business than to keep your current customers.

Are you losing new customers during your order fulfillment process?

New customers have a higher level of enthusiasm for using the product or service they just purchased. A lengthly on-boarding process can cause frustration and bring that enthusiasm to a rapid halt.

Does your organization lack a unique order process for new customers vs. returning customers?

Do your new customers feel especially welcomed when they place their first order? Are your systems set up to track usage adoption, support calls and/or billing issues from new customers vs. legacy customers?

Are legacy customers slowly dropping off without providing a reason?

Reviewing key statistics for billing and support calls from legacy customers on a consistent basis is essential for identifying warning signs of customer drop off.

Is customer participation low in your company's referral program?

When customers are overly satisfied with the service and/or product they receive from your business they will likely want to share that information with friends especially when an incentive to do so is provided. Their lack of interest in your referral program indicates a low level of appreciation for what they are paying for and is a “flag” for future retention issues.

Are you missing out on valuable historical customer information?

Is your organization gathering the right information on your customers to determine purchase behavior and trends? Are you following up at the right intervals?

Let our 30+ years of experience improve your bottom line.

There is no substitute for actual experience when it comes to addressing customer impacting business issues. Led by Steve Schreiber, Aquarius Partners has over 35 years of cumulative experience, most of which reflects taking on actual customer impacting problems in fast changing small to medium sized business environments. Steve has earned a reputation as a “go to” transformative and entrepreneurial leader who identifies best practices for customer care, benchmarking, business analytics, product support, and operational management effectiveness. Even more noteworthy is the fact that our expertise does not reflect following methodical steps in corporate “playbooks”, but rather was gained through implementation of creative, often “out of the box” workarounds and business process innovation. Working with limited resources to solve critical, yet timely bottom-line impacting issues is where our experience can best be leveraged. Simply put, our experience leads to the strong belief that everything begins with a focus on your customer.

Many small to medium sized businesses are facing never

experienced challenges affecting their revenue growth potential, target markets, customers and the employees who serve them.

There are no road maps or strategic plan documents that can be referred to for quick answers and easily deployable procedures. In today’s challenging business climate true success will come to those enterprises that focus on retaining their customers as a foundation to growing their business.

Our expertise revolves around our ability to systematically review and dissect your business operations to determine the underlying weaknesses that are causing unnecessary customer account reductions. Knowing where to look, asking the appropriate questions, gathering the right information, and evaluating all of it are all vital, but we know that ultimately none of that matters if actionable solutions are not the result. So, we not only provide the steps necessary to attain success, but we agree to return every three months to monitor results. If things are not working as we indicated, we will evaluate and fix at no additional cost to you our valuable client.
