Overall, it wanted to attract and engage customers by offering an enhanced experience while moving quickly to establish a strong market presence. The key components of this approach were customer acquisition, retention and profitability.

Talisma Adds Value Across the Customer Lifecycle

Consider the typical lifecycle stages of your customer: acquisition, servicing, retention and upsizing. You need to have  a comprehensive CEM framework to convey value right from the day a prospect hears about your brand. When your financial institution is in the process of acquiring customers, it needs to convey value and a desire for engagement on a customer’s preferred medium. During the servicing phase, your financial institution needs to strengthen the relationship by meeting service expectations. During retention, your brand will have to come up with unique products and appealing service propositions. During upsizing, you will have to devise ways to take the relationship to the next level.

Customer experience management spans the entire customer engagement lifecycle

Talisma has been helping financial institutions adopt CEM for over a decade now. Our CEM approach is based on our strong domain expertise in banking and strategic business consulting services. Our best-of-breed solutions optimize and deliver superior core-functionality and domain-specific implementation resources well attuned to your project specifics.
