Course Overview

Attribution in lapsed customer recovery is imperfect; that is not a reason to stop measuring it. A message about the marketing and commercial practice discipline that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of marketing and commercial practice has actually achieved. The programme takes participants through lapsed customer recovery end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this part of marketing and commercial practice is examined from more than one functional angle. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Most organisations already have a policy on lapsed customer recovery; far fewer can show it working. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the marketing and commercial practice discipline hard in practice. Participants leave with a plan for this strand of marketing and commercial practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
