13. Return On Investment
Show me the money
Natalie and Forrester modelled some ROI estimates on a hypothetical company
with 500,000 customers that receives approximately 30,000 calls per month.
In the report, she calculates that over a three-year time frame, such a typical
company will probably need to invest approximately $1.2 million for a well-
functioning online customer service community.
The estimated payback in benefits will be seen within the first year, Forrester
estimates. The analyst firm’s model suggest that the first-year outlay for the
hypothetical company will total about $500,000 in start-up costs, but will return
about $900,000 in benefits. Benefits will continue to accrue at about $900,000
a year in the years after than, while annual costs will run about $400,000.
