Edward Jones ranked highest in full-service customer satisfaction

edward jones.jpgAccording to a J.D. Power study, Edward Jones is tops in customer satisfaction for the second year in a row.

BusinessWeek said:

"J.D. Power & Associates' Full-Service Investor Satisfaction Study, which was released on July 10, surveyed 5,064 clients in the U.S. It measures overall customer satisfaction with full-service investors by examining seven factors. They are, in order of importance: competitiveness of portfolio (20%), financial adviser/broker (18%), account set-up/account offerings (17%), commissions and fees (13%), customer service representative (12%), convenience (11%), and account statements (10%). The study examines consumer attitudes, brand image, and experiences with investors and divides them into three groups: high, medium, and low commitment."

Another source, reporting on comments from their local Edward Jones reps said:

"...three Morgan County Edward Jones investment representatives, recently announced that the study showed strong customer service representative performance, convenience, account set-up/offerings, account statements and product and service offerings combined with competitive investment performance drive, in which Edward Jones ranked first, according to a news release from the firm."

It's a good lesson in how to manage our customer relations.

1. Convenience: The holy grail of success in our age is ease-of-use with our customers, which is another way of saying convenience - not matter what the platform or point of contact is.

2. Account set-up/offerings: They were happy with the entry point into the business.

3. Account statements: They were able to measure what they invested.

4. Product and service offerings: They were provided what they looked for, what they preferred.

5. Competitive investment performance drive: Essentially it means they delivered the goods.

Simple and easy, but simple and easy are always the hardest things to manage and deliver.
