A credit is usually a slow process

1Independent organizations that have not developed partnerships have systemic paradigms. If one part of the organization’s culture—especially the leadership—is based on a paradigm of independence, then it’s probable that other parts of the organization are driven by a similar dynamic. Organizational structures tend to replicate themselves.

Like families that are influenced by the beliefs of the parents, organizations incorporate the values of their leaders. If the leadership is afraid to establish a partnership based on trust and mutual benefits, other parts of the organization will reflect that fear. Leadership’s values determine the organization’s past or future orientation as well. Within that orientation lies a collection of attitudes and behaviors that reflect the company’s culture. Owners and managers set the company’s policies and establish independent or interdependent systems. If your company has a past orientation, it’s hard to change direction. Even with an awareness of the problems, an intellectual understanding of the need for interdependence, a determination to undertake a fearless self-assessment, and a desire to change, most companies find changing a culture a slow and arduous process.

Using customer credit data

The value of detailed market and customer information is enormous. Common uses of customer data include the following:

Tracking purchasing habits. This can show how frequently customers buy, how much they spend, how they choose to make their purchases and, perhaps most importantly, what they are choosing to buy. Information about buying preferences enables organisations to start building genuine, practical relationships with their customers, increasing the likelihood of repeat business.

It also allows them to target products at the customers most likely to buy them.

Enhancing special offers. Analysis of special-offer promotions may reveal that the organisation does not need to discount prices. This in turn can remove the “wasted” margin that may occur when the price of a product is reduced to attract people that would be prepared to buy it at the higher price. Analysis may show that the people that would value the product are the ones hearing about it.

Maximising sales opportunities, leading to repeat business and increased revenue at marginal cost. Linked with the previous benefit is the ability to increase customer response rates through improved targeting. This occurs when a current or potential buyer of one product is targeted with another complementary one. So, for example, if a customer is viewing cars online, an advertisement for a financing package may appear.

Developing new sources of revenue. Detailed customer data may highlight new, unknown or previously difficult to exploit business opportunities. For example, an online travel agency may have previously avoided selling ancillary products, from insurance to sun-cream, but given the potential new scale of their business and the ability to sell ever more effectively to a wider range of people, new product offerings may prove worthwhile.

Credit Data Mining – a key to success

Data mining is the gathering of information about customers, with the aim of analysing and then using it in the most effective ways. Scientifically accurate market segmentation depends on data mining. One of the values of the internet is the ability to capture and use information relating to every customer transaction made through it. For example, internet retailers such as amazon.com use data to customise their business services. Dell.com uses information from sales to ensure future offers are appealing and competitive; and during the technology boom of the late 1990s, Dell reported industry-leading revenue from its website of $15m per day.
