“The most important thing you can do is listen to your customers.”
At Zurich, we try to see every business and every customer as an individual. And we are getting better at listening to customers to understand their individual needs.
“Insurance is like gardening. You need to take time to develop it, and consider the future.”
We’re helping a Swiss business owner to focus on what matters
Over 30 years ago, Swiss business owner Felix Pfister became a Zurich customer. He is still one today. We are proud that customers rely on us, including businesses ranging from big corporations to small ones. The gardening business Felix set up in 1983 has depended on us for insurance, and we’ve been there to provide support over the years. “The most important thing you can do is listen to your customers,” he says.
We also help our customers focus on what’s important to them. For Felix Pfister, that includes a family-run farm north of Zurich in the Canton of Thurgau. The farm, ‘Seehalde,’ with its traditional fruit orchards, has been in his wife Maya Pfister-Gerber’s family for generations. Produce includes over 30 different types of apples – a clear vote in favor of biodiversity. “We are thinking for future generations,” Felix Pfister says. With Zurich to protect his business, he and his wife are able to pursue their passions.
Always transforming
Zurich is listening to customers. In 2018 we expanded our system to measure customer satisfaction and gather feedback using the net promoter score to over 20 countries, or 90 percent of our business, generating over 760,000 individual customer responses. Over 50,000 of those customers also received a so-called ‘close-the-loop’ call, often from Zurich’s senior management, to better understand and act on feedback.
