Introduction
How to Use This Playbook
This playbook consists of six stages, each with a description of
steps and action items. Action items include using our premium
tools and templates. Our goal for your use of this playbook is to
help you:
Understand the shift from Customer Experience to
Customer Engagement objectives
Plan & Develop a Journey Map to improve how
customers engage with your company
Select & Implement the results of your program
and foster an environment of continuous relationship
Identify Advocates & Measure results to increase
brand awareness and drive revenue
Helpful Hint – If you need assistance implementing your Customer
Engagement strategy, contact Demand Metric to schedule a consult
with an experienced Analyst: email us at info@demandmetric.com
What Is Customer Engagement?
Demand Metric defines Customer Engagement (CE) as the
strategies, processes, technologies, and tools that enable
an organization to attract, gain, retain, and influence the
behavior of customers consistently and effectively across all
touch points throughout the lifetime of the customer’s rela-
tionship with the company.
Equally important, from the buyer’s point of view, Customer
Engagement is the buyer’s on-going connection to and growing
appreciation of the company’s brand, people, products, and
services through every interaction and touch point during the
lifetime of their relationship with the company.
Done well, Customer Engagement fosters a lifelong advocate
(think Apple) who embraces the company and brand beyond
any one product or service experience.

7CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PLAN
Customer Experience v. Engagement
Demand Metric positions Customer Engagement as the evolution
of Customer Experience (CX) and its corollary Voice of the Customer
(VoC). This is based on the reality that companies cannot really
control the customer’s experience. They can influence it, but they
cannot control it. Numerous studies have shown that the buyer
completes from 55% to 75% of their purchasing decision journey
before they contact the company or sales rep.
That means marketers and customer success teams must be creative
in how they engage with potential customers. If customers aren’t
coming to the company, the company must actively reach out to
them with the right “touch” to create a connection for that point
of the journey. Every touch across the omni-channel is crucial. This
is why making Customer Engagement a corporate priority and not
simply a sales or customer-service issue is so important to revenue
success.

  • 6. 6CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PLAN 1 2 3 4 5 6 Introduction How to Use This Playbook This playbook consists of six stages, each with a description of steps and action items. Action items include using our premium tools and templates. Our goal for your use of this playbook is to help you: Understand the shift from Customer Experience to Customer Engagement objectives Plan & Develop a Journey Map to improve how customers engage with your company Select & Implement the results of your program and foster an environment of continuous relationship Identify Advocates & Measure results to increase brand awareness and drive revenue Helpful Hint – If you need assistance implementing your Customer Engagement strategy, contact Demand Metric to schedule a consult with an experienced Analyst: email us at info@demandmetric.com What Is Customer Engagement? Demand Metric defines Customer Engagement (CE) as the strategies, processes, technologies, and tools that enable an organization to attract, gain, retain, and influence the behavior of customers consistently and effectively across all touch points throughout the lifetime of the customer’s rela- tionship with the company. Equally important, from the buyer’s point of view, Customer Engagement is the buyer’s on-going connection to and growing appreciation of the company’s brand, people, products, and services through every interaction and touch point during the lifetime of their relationship with the company. Done well, Customer Engagement fosters a lifelong advocate (think Apple) who embraces the company and brand beyond any one product or service experience. Initiative Preparation Journey Mapping Strategy Planning Technology Selection Engagement & Advocacy Measurement
  • 7. 7CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PLAN Customer Experience v. Engagement Demand Metric positions Customer Engagement as the evolution of Customer Experience (CX) and its corollary Voice of the Customer (VoC). This is based on the reality that companies cannot really control the customer’s experience. They can influence it, but they cannot control it. Numerous studies have shown that the buyer completes from 55% to 75% of their purchasing decision journey before they contact the company or sales rep. That means marketers and customer success teams must be creative in how they engage with potential customers. If customers aren’t coming to the company, the company must actively reach out to them with the right “touch” to create a connection for that point of the journey. Every touch across the omni-channel is crucial. This is why making Customer Engagement a corporate priority and not simply a sales or customer-service issue is so important to revenue success. Stage 1 - Initiative Preparation Stage 4 - Technology Selection Customer Engagement Maturity Assessment and Business Case Customer Engagement System RFPs, Vendor Evaluations, and Vendor Selection Stage 2 - Journey Mapping Stage 5 - Engagement & Advocacy Customer Journey Map, Buyer Persona Template(s) Touch Point Diagram, Customer Satisfaction Survey, Customer Advocate Database Stage 3 - Strategy Planning Stage 6 - Measurement Customer Engagement Strategy Scorecard, Project Plan, Budget & Job Roles Customer Satisfaction Index and Customer Engagement Metrics Dashboard Outputs from This Playbook 1 2 3 4 5 6 Introduction Initiative Preparation Journey Mapping Strategy Planning Technology Selection Engagement & Advocacy Measurement
