With Indicate me, you can structure your customer conversations and examine patterns across calls, emails, and chats. This gives customer service and electricity retail teams a basis for action before the customer leaves. --- ##### **The signals are in everyday conversations** Customers call about prices, contract terms and minimum contract periods, bills, or moving home. Sometimes they mention another supplier. Individually, these are routine inquiries. As recurring patterns, they can give you a reason to investigate what influences customers’ willingness to stay. A question about how to switch electricity suppliers or a comment about a neighbor’s cheaper contract are examples of these signals. Neither proves that the customer will leave. Customers also choose different channels. If you only analyze calls, you miss what customers write in emails and chats. That is why you also need to examine [which customers never call.](https://info.indicateme.se/en/insights/which-customers-never-call?hsLang=en) --- ##### **The conversations you are already having** If you call customers who are about to leave and record those conversations, you have another source of insight. What persuaded customers to stay? What did those who left say? Compare recurring questions and explanations, rather than just individual cases. Indicate me structures customer conversations so you can examine contact reasons and patterns in the material being analyzed. Customer service gains a clearer understanding of what customers need help with. Electricity retail teams gain a basis for following up on questions about issues such as prices and contract terms. ![Churn\_Energy\_Mockup\_ENG](https://info.indicateme.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Churn_Energy_Mockup_ENG.png?width=2560&height=1440&name=Churn_Energy_Mockup_ENG.png) --- ##### **Electricity distribution and retail: who can see what?** The analysis of customers considering a change of electricity supplier belongs within the electricity retail business. Set permissions so that retail teams see retail customer conversations, while distribution customers are kept outside that analysis. Decide who needs the insights and which material they can access. **These boundaries need to be in place from the start**, both in the analysis and when findings are shared.   --- ##### **From assumptions to understanding** Also investigate what customers who stay appreciate. Which questions receive clear explanations? What do customers describe as helpful? This gives you something concrete to build on in your customer interactions.
