Imagine your organisation historically has a customer return rate of 1%; your organisation prides itself on customer satisfaction with the quality of your product – your KPI is set and reviewed on a weekly basis to ensure your return rate doesn’t increase, however, unknown to you, your competition’s return rate is 0.5%. In fact, your brilliant returns rate is 50% below the benchmark.
Customers are likely to prefer your competitor and you may never know the reason why, as your KPIs are internal and not external-focussed or based on market intelligence.
