Classification of consumers $ased on loyalty:
Terrorists 2 at the very bottom of the scale you have customers who are extremely dissatisfied and
have very low loyalty. They can do great damage to your business.
Aostles+ at the other end of the scale the highly loyal and highly satisfied customers. 7hat sets
them apart is the fact they actively go out and spread the good word. These are your company5s
best friends. !ostages+ with medium to high loyalty and satisfaction these customers tend be to 8stuck9.
Think of contracts where you are locked in for :;2:< months, not very happy but no easy way out
or where other 8costs of switching9 keep you locked in to your current supplier.
Mercenaries+ often the bulk of your customer base. "pparently satisfied and loyal these people
tend to switch to the best deal as they see it. any ercenaries have the behaviour to deeply
ingrained to change, but others would willingly become Loyalists when they receive the rightproduct and service combination from a supplier.

"efectors+ neither particularly loyal nor particularly satisfied. If they haven5t
already left they are likely to. )owever they tend not be as vocal as the Terrorists
in expressing their dissatisfaction. They are often one trigger away from leaving.
"s with ercenaries many would willingly become Loyalists when they receive
the right product and service combination from a supplier.
#oyalists 2 )igh satisfaction and high loyalty but do not spread the word that
much. 7hat separates loyalists from apostles is really how they spread the word.
"s well as being active "postles need to be very well connected and typically
influential + i.e. they are able to spread the word to lots of people and those people
are likely to listen. )owever the loyalists can be thought of as the bedrock of yourcompany, they keep on coming back.
