The challenge

Between "agreed to switch" and "live", customers leak out of the process

Your sales team wins the deal. Switching begins. Weeks pass. And the customers you already won… disappear.   Often the lack of transparency and fluidity of the process causes customers to become impatient, lose interest and be won back. Utilising our Business Switching platform will allow you to focus on acquisition while we focus on getting the switch request completed. We can improve your gains by 20%+ which is money in the bank to you, more satisfied customers and unhappy competitors! 

01

The losing provider slows things down

(Fact – this is a breach of the regulated SLA)

Retention offers, contract disputes, and “unexpected issues” slow everything down. Your customer starts reconsidering.

02

Your team gets stuck chasing the process

(Fact – it can cost you anywhere up to £200 to manage a switch event)​

Ops teams chase emails, fix data errors, and wait on losing providers. Nothing moves quickly. (Fact – this is not your core competence and shouldn’t be) 

03

Compliance needs rigorous follow through

Gaining Provider Led Business (GPLB) require precise, mandated steps. Doing this inhouse means dedicated people, time, resources and money. (can cost anywhere up to £200 per switching event) 

 

04

The customer starts to lose confidence –

3–6 weeks is still the UK norm when done yourself.  By becoming a CSP customer, you can reduce this to less than a week. Our dedicated team of specialists give the focus and support needed to expedite the process.
