The scheme is being launched following the recent appointment of James Haigh as General Manager of ABB's low voltage products business and reflects his determination to make ABB the 'customer equity king' of the low voltage products world.
"The aim of the scheme is to act as an "early warning system" to ABB to nip any potential problems in the bud, be they technical, commercial or logistical," says Haigh.
"Providing the best levels of product quality and service and support is vital to any company that wants not only to retain its existing customers, but also to win over new ones.
"However, in order to achieve this level of performance, you need to take stock both of the things you're doing well, and more, importantly, the things you could do better." To ensure that customer issues are resolved as quickly as possible, ABB have appointed Kane Perry as Customer Relationship Manager, who will head dedicated team at Coventry who will look into the cause of any problems identified and prevent them from happening again.
Kane can be contacted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on ABB's customer service helpline 07803 885874.
"The personal touch is vital if we are to ensure that we have the very best relationships with our customers.
The low voltage product industry is fiercely competitive and it's very important not to take our customers for granted, even where we think we have a top notch relationship with them," Haigh adds.
"Through the scheme, every single one of our customers will be actively encouraged to tell us want they think of us, safe in the knowledge that something will get done about it.".
