Service Logic – a new
Dominant Logic for the Social Customer Relationship Marketerby WimRampen<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuartslimp/3936066556/in/pool-crowded_multitude<br />

Goods dominant logic:<br />value is
created at the moment of exchange, after that, the Customer is on his own<br />value exchange: when money and ownership or rights change hands<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mithril/2764675971/<br />

The new dominant logic: Service
Logic<br />is not about selling services<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ptrktn/3801479228/<br />

Service Logic: value co-creation happens
AFTER value exchange<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/viriyincy/3594764008/ <br />

Value for customers means that,
after they have been assisted by a self-service or full-service process, they are – or feel – better off than before<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yalcin_arsan/4055973255/in/pool-crowded_multitude<br />

Whether a Customer is –
or feels – better off is determined by the Customer<br />image courtesy:: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yalcin_arsan/4001627189/in/pool-crowded_multitude<br />

Value is co-created when customer
desired outcomes are met<br />in other words: when the Customer’s job is done to his satisfaction<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cassandrasarmanho/4006047824/in/pool-crowded_multitude<br />

Fact: most Customers can use
some help in creating value<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cleopatra69/4033747792/in/pool-crowded_multitude<br />

If value for the Customer
is dominantly created after value exchange, i.e. IN USE, both scope and content of marketing strategies should shift from dominantly focused on creating momentum for value exchange to a continuum of interactions in networks of relationships aimed to support customers’ value creation <br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beeteeoh/3298373727/<br />

The “new” goal for marketing
is to support (and improve) customers’ value creation “in use”<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/msdm/3491968596/<br />

Value “in use” is determined
by Customer outcomes of experiences during the lifetime of consumption of products & services<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seasonalplume/2607760460/<br />

The firm (marketing) should strive
for engagement in interactions and relationships with its customers’ (net)work or process to create value<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/caribb/185905926/<br />

5 Questions for today’s marketers<br
/>image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/downingstreet/3386080464/<br />

1. Do you understand how
and to what extent your customers are meeting their desired outcomes when using (experiencing) your product or services (over its lifetime)?<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amirjina/2282812623/<br />

2. What interactions with your
product, services, partners, employees, touch-points, their networks and relationships influence and shape customers’ experiences in use?<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laughingsquid/383433646/<br />

3. What opportunities do you
see to engage in the customer’s value-creation process?<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/defaultbb/3753829500/<br />

4. What opportunities do you
see to pro-actively help the customer meet their desired outcomes through (new ways of) interacting (in & via networks) and building relationships?<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vorticeassurdo/167001806/<br />

5. Who do you need
to collaborate with to purposefully design & execute experiences over a lifetime of use to exploit these opportunities?<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcelgermain/3956114555/in/photostream/<br />

How does “Social” tie into
all this?<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nycviarachel/507963159/<br />

understand customers’ value creation process (= jobs & desired outcomes) and where in the process Customers fail to meet their desired outcomes. <br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/berkeleylab/2826536670/in/set-72157606890009024/<br />

Marketing’s 2nd job is to
build relationships in communities of individuals with similar desired outcomes and behavior<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/loveforphotography/457269816/<br />

Marketing’s 3rd job is to
support Customers’ value creation process<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/romec1/3246065362/<br />

Marketing’s 4th job is to
design experiences that stimulate company’s engagement through interactions in networks of relationships<br />

Marketing’s 5th job is to
engage employees and partners in supporting Customers in their process of value creation<br />

Marketing’s 6th job is to
extract actionable insights from 360-degree feedback to foster innovations and to turn them into value propositions that attract new Customers <br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ableman/534153791/in/set-72157600321756478/<br />

Marketing’s 7th job is to
redesign metrics to capture the network value for the firm and to ensure there is high correlation between these metrics an Customers’ value created.<br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toastforbrekkie/3440023097/<br />

What about Marketing Laws?<br />

The P’s remain valid, but
less dominant. Focus is no longer dominantly on product and value chain towards value exchange. <br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasmic/1472319885/<br />

Segmentation based on demo/sociographics come
2nd, after segmentation based on Customer jobs & (desired) outcomes. <br />image courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/un_photo/3815987498/<br />
