The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) CEO, Dr. Muda Yusuf, has emphasized the importance of customer satisfaction in the pension and insurance sectors. Speaking at the BusinessToday Conference in Lagos, Yusuf urged operators in the sectors to prioritize customer satisfaction in order to increase efficiency and deepen penetration.
According to Yusuf, treating customers well is crucial to attracting more Nigerians to the insurance and pension sectors. He emphasized the importance of understanding and meeting customer expectations, noting that operators should not make assumptions about what customers want.
Yusuf highlighted the benefits of excellent customer service, which include revenue generation, customer loyalty, and improved business strategy. He cited statistics showing that a vast majority of consumers are willing to pay more for products and services from brands known for good customer service experiences.

Yusuf urged operators to invest in training their staff to provide excellent customer service and to prioritize customer satisfaction in their business strategy.
