カスタマーサクセスとは何か?顧客満足との違いと重要性

Quick Look

24時間ジムの顧客が求めるのは時間の自由ではなく、引き締まった体や健康な暮らしといった成果である。サブスクリプション型ビジネスの拡大に伴い、顧客がサービスを利用して望む成果を達成できるよう支援するカスタマーサクセス(CS)が注目されている。日本カスタマーサクセス協会代表理事の山田ひさのり氏は、CSは顧客満足とは異なり、顧客にアウトカムを与えるビジネスアプローチだと説明する。インターネットの発達により利用実態を追跡できるようになったことがCSの考え方が広がった背景にあるという。

サブスクリプション型ビジネスの拡大に伴い、顧客との契約を維持し、既存顧客からの収益を伸ばすための考え方としてカスタマーサクセスが注目を集めている。

24時間営業のジムに通う顧客が本当に求めているのは「24時間いつでも使える権利」ではない。「引き締まった体」「健康な暮らし」といった成果である。「良い商品やサービスを提供すれば、後は顧客の自己責任」という姿勢は、もはや通用しない時代になりつつある。

サブスクリプション型のビジネスが広がる中、顧客との契約を維持し、既存顧客からの収益を伸ばすための考え方として、カスタマーサクセス(CS)が注目を集めている。顧客がサービスに満足しているかを測るだけでなく、サービスを利用することで顧客が望む成果(アウトカム)を生み出せるよう支援するのが特徴だ。

「カスタマーサクセスとは、顧客にアウトカムを与えるビジネスアプローチ」

こう話すのは、日本カスタマーサクセス協会代表理事の山田ひさのり氏。CSを事業成長につなげるために、顧客の成功をどう定義し、どのような仕組みで支援すればいいのだろうか。

「顧客満足」と「カスタマーサクセス」――何が違う?

カスタマーサクセス(CS)と「顧客満足」(Customer Satisfaction)、よく耳にする両者だが、どう違うのだろうか。山田氏は以下のように説明する。

顧客満足は「顧客が購入・利用した商品やサービスについて満足している度合いを数値化したもの、およびそれを計測するためのビジネスアプローチ」であり、その背景には「満足していれば顧客がリピートしてくれる」という思想がある。

一方、CSは「顧客が購入・利用した商品やサービスを使うことで望ましい成果を達成することを支援するビジネスアプローチ」だ。

「サティスファクションは満足しているかという話だが、サクセスは顧客に成果を与えようという考え方なので、やや異なる」

CSの考え方が広がった背景には、インターネットの発達によってサービスの利用実態を追跡できるようになったことがあるという。

AmazonやUber、カーシェアなど、契約や購入の後も顧客の利用状況を把握できるサービスが増えた。その結果、サービス提供側にも「顧客はちゃんと成果を得られているのか」という視点が求められるようになった。

山田氏は、現在は両方に取り組むべきという認識が広がっていると指摘する。

CSで重要なポイントとは 顧客の本当のニーズ、どう把握?

Fed Director Waller expresses support for keeping interest rates unchanged depending on August inflation indicators

Fed Director Waller said in an online lecture that if the August price index confirms that inflation is slowing down, he will support keeping the policy rate unchanged at the FOMC meeting in the middle of this month. He welcomed the latest indicators, saying, ``We are finally starting to see some signs of slowing inflation,'' and asserted that initial concerns have not arisen, although he cited high energy prices and increased investment due to the AI ​​boom as inflation risk factors. He expressed an optimistic view of the economic situation, citing continued growth in consumer spending due to high stock prices and a stable labor market, and declared that he would focus on August's CPI and other factors when making monetary policy decisions.

ASICS executives talk about “player-first” and field-oriented management

ASICS executives say that by having the company discuss their dreams once every two weeks and making store training and marathon volunteering compulsory for all executives, they have revitalized internal conversation and inspired the company to move in the same direction globally. During the coronavirus pandemic, we boosted our profit margin by strengthening our e-commerce platform and shifting production to higher-end models, and promoted the development of products such as ``EDGE'' and ``SKY'' tailored to athletes' running styles with a ``player-first'' approach. He emphasized that leaders in the age of AI will be required to "talk about their dreams and have unwavering faith."

The yen exchange rate sharply rises, temporarily reaching the 155 yen level to the dollar. Yen buying continues as people are conscious of narrowing the Japan-U.S. interest rate differential.

The yen rose sharply in the foreign exchange market on the 3rd, and at one point reached the 155 yen level to the dollar. The yen appreciated more than 4 yen against the dollar from 5 p.m. the previous day, reaching the lowest level in about a month. In the United States, expectations for an early interest rate hike have receded, and expectations that the Bank of Japan will accelerate the pace of interest rate hikes have expanded. Yen-buying and dollar-selling progressed with the aim of narrowing the Japan-U.S. interest rate differential. The US Treasury Department announced that Secretary Bessent supported Bank of Japan Governor Ueda in addressing the yen's undervaluation. Bank of Japan Councilor Takada emphasized that the situation has changed, and expectations for an interest rate hike in September have strengthened.
