Three chapters where knowledge makes all the difference

The white paper puts forward an idea: loyalty also hinges on knowledge.

The customer, the advisor, and the AI agent must all receive the same answer; otherwise, the relationship suffers as a result of the discrepancy. The first useful AI project is often not an AI project at all: it’s deciding that the correct answer exists only once, is up to date, and that everyone knows where to find it. Finally, when dealing with clients who are often better informed than they are, advisors need to be equipped—with the right information at the right time—rather than constantly evaluated.

10 Voices, 11 Questions, 5 Parts

The interviews were conducted separately and then compared: the voices respond to one another, complement one another, or contradict one another.

Satisfaction is no longer enough

Why satisfied customers leave, who really has the right to call themselves a “life partner,” and why age says almost nothing about expectations.

Measuring and Demonstrating Loyalty

What the NPS doesn't show, what SFR, Verisure, and Petit Bateau focus on instead, and how to secure a budget for initiatives that don't generate revenue in the first quarter.

AI: Catalyst or Disruptor?

The customer who entrusts their choice to an AI agent, the GEO, the continuity of the experience, and the boundaries each person has set.

What Will Remain Human

The link between team commitment and customer loyalty—and what a machine will never be able to do for you.
