Transcription

1 Measuring and Monitoring Experience Tom Exeter Sales, Marketing & Experience Executive Sport & Physical Activity, Commercial Services, University of Leeds

2 Background to our organisation. The department of Sport & Physical Activity for the University staff and student community. A health and fitness club for external public members and pay-as-you-go customers. The Edge (flagship sports centre), Sports Park Weetwood, other campus sports centres and studios, a boathouse and 2 outdoor centres. We have 17,000 customers to keep happy and retain!

3 Background to our organisation. Based within the city centre with an ever increasing number of competitors; budget gyms, run clubs, sports clubs, football centres etc. Many of our customers can cancel at any time as they pay by monthly direct debit or can choose not to renew their annual membership. Students expectation of experience is forever increasing; personal training, swimming lessons, state-of-the art equipment and technology etc.. so successful sales and most importantly RETENTION of members is key!

4 The importance of customer experience. Over the last few years we have a major drive on developing an exceptional customer experience and really getting to understand our customers. We have made a point of understating our customers wants and needs in advance to avoid major issues or complaints. And so to differentiate against the competition a major USP for us has become the service and experience our customers will receive; delivered by our expert staff.

20 Thank you for listening and any questions? Split into groups to look at how other universities measure and monitor customer experience: What are some of the major CE issues you have in your area? How do you currently measure and monitor CE? Any particular methods/ideas to share? What ideas could you adopt to improve your understanding of CE for the future?
