Customer Engagement is an art which can be transformed into a masterpiece if nurtured with passion, patience, creativity, innovation, quality, skills and most importantly, a commitment to ensure an exquisite customer journey experience. 

The complexities of an intricately- woven and increasingly crowded digital world has  radically changed the depth and speed with which information is available to consumers; changing the way consumers relate to the companies and brands, or affinities, they do business with.

The incredible growth of the high net worth segment has required companies, including luxury brands, to shift towards a more scalable engagement and loyalty building models to effectively engage and maintain the interest of their customers.

The advent of the internet and wealth generation have, thus, resulted in raising the bar significantly in terms of customer satisfaction and service level requirements, as brands are expected to perform as well as, or even better than, customers could do on their own and required brands to "reinvent" the ways they have traditionally communicated with and related to their best customers.

As a result companies have found their own customer servicing and communications structures and assets to be lacking in relation to these new challenges, and have instead looked to outside companies, providing what has traditionally been perceived as "high touch" or "concierge level" service, to service their customers.

Club Concierge recognized this trend and the competition companies were facing in retaining their most valuable customers and moved directly to address this lacuna. Club Concierge was launched in 2013 and is headquartered out of Bangalore.

The company has also received prestigious Asia's greatest brands in 2016 as recognition of its disruptive and innovative work in the arena of customer engagement. In the past companies helped brands to address the challenges of higher customer expectations and brand reinvention or re-positioning through outsourcing of customer service functions.

However, at Club Concierge, what brands immediately get are the advantages the background of the company possesses.

Historically the team behind Club Concierge includes  top of the line engagement professionals with a solid background as  concierge , a profession that are known to provide a service at a much higher quality level / standard than the typical customer service delivery. 

Club Concierge has scaled the entire proposition and caters a remarkable high touch platform in place. Added to this is the fact that Club Concierge can relate immediately to its clients and their end users alike especially in the area of lifestyle products and services, the major component where a shift in brand strategy is happening worldwide.

As the founder, Dipali says, "You cannot continue to apply old-fashioned models in today's hyperlinked and hyper-aggressive environment. Using a canned customer service programme today has inherent dangers. 

In that era, customers had few options and they had to be happy with what they got. Companies looked inward at what worked for them and became self-focused and not customer focused.

We recognized the crucial urge of developing a service delivery model that would reflect a new paradigm of service structure and would help companies relate better to their customers at a holistic lifestyle contextual level rather than the more traditional transactional level."

Carving out a niche

Dipali Sikand, the founder of Club Concierge, runs the ever sprightly and very successful global work-life balance concierge company: Les Concierges, as well.

Club Concierge seeks to addresses several gaps in the delivery service model which provide it a significant competitive advantage the larger general loyalty marketing services spaces by

Geographical continuity and integrated global service delivery

Club Concierge has successfully established a global footprint and seamlessly integrates its various entities into a single servicing structure, giving customers a greater "in-depth" local services created by the integrated mindshare from around the world, resulting in higher quality fulfillment and access for clients.

Servicing customers from a contextual, as opposed to a product-based or transactional, perspective

Historically, loyalty companies have approached customer engagement from the standpoint of product categorization based on the specific type of service the customer has asked for, as opposed to the customer's need within the larger context of their life which resulted in a fragmented service approach, difficult to communicate with.

Adoption of the service and repeat usage – the main criteria which clients use to evaluate the value of a loyalty program – both suffer under this model. On the other hand, Club Concierge service delivery approach is structured around the concept of the contextual; a much more powerful service and one which syncs with the engagement strategy around the lifestyle that most brands have shifted to.

It is more relevant to the affluent customer, indeed more effective overall, and is likely to provide more value in terms of building the brand-customer relationship.

From the founder's pen

The entrepreneurial mindset is about seeing the world as a set of opportunities – not obstacles. It's about seeing problems to be solved, not barriers that limit. It's about being driven to create value for a broad set of stakeholders and lifting human condition.

The greatest lessons we have learned is how to accept that making mistakes is part of the process. It is easier to fail, to make mistakes, and to recover from them. Making mistakes can be a positive step forward in applying your mind to opportunity and use them to better inform your next set of actions.

The most difficult lesson I have learned during this entire journey is to keep applying a filter to the myriad of thoughts and solutions and seeing which one to scale, expand and enhance and which one to let go.

As an entrepreneur, you are an innovator, developing new unheard of solutions and your mind keeps thinking and creating. However, the most difficult challenge for any entrepreneur as for me is to be continuously reflecting, "I have a lot of great ideas, but which is the best opportunity?"
