This service is for you if…
CEO / MD
Your market positioning lacks clarity and your teams do not embody a shared commitment to the customer.
Marketing Director
Your brand promise exists on paper but does not translate into the experience customers actually have.
CX Director
You steer satisfaction, but without a clear direction on what you commit to deliver.
The deliverables of your promise.
A commitment that does not stay on paper: formalised, evidenced, co-built with your teams and activated on the ground.
Formalised "Customer Promise" document
The commitment written up, structured and validated — with the tangible proof attached to each pledge.
Co-build workshops
Sessions with your CX, marketing and leadership teams to secure buy-in and credibility.
Customer expectations analysis
Verbatims, studies and feedback cross-referenced to root the promise in reality, not in intentions.
Tangible proof identified
The concrete elements that make your promise credible and verifiable in your customers’ eyes.
How building a promise works with Onivio.
1Diagnosis
We analyse your journeys, gather customer verbatims and review your current practices. The aim: to understand what your customers genuinely value and what you can credibly stand behind.
2Defining the commitments
We write the commitments that make up the promise, anchoring each to tangible proof and aligning them with your real capabilities. No promise you could not keep.
3Validation
We facilitate co-build workshops with your CX, marketing and leadership teams to secure buy-in and credibility. The promise becomes the whole organisation’s, not one department’s.
4Operational rollout
We build an internal and external activation plan: communication, team training, integration into processes and touchpoints. The promise moves from document to lived reality.
The upper range applies to broader scopes with rollout support. Precise quote after scoping.
Frequently asked questions.
What is a Customer Promise?
It is the clear, structured commitment a company makes to its customers about what they will experience at every interaction. Far more than a marketing strapline, a customer promise is rooted in the organisation’s real capabilities and backed by tangible proof that makes it credible and verifiable.
Why define a Customer Promise?
Because a clear promise aligns teams around a common direction, differentiates you in the market and drives loyalty. Without it, the experience becomes inconsistent from one channel to the next and satisfaction is steered without direction. A promise kept builds trust; a promise broken creates a trust debt.
Who is this service for?
For leaders whose positioning lacks clarity and whose teams do not embody a shared commitment, for marketing directors whose promise exists on paper but not in the lived experience, and for CX directors who steer satisfaction without a clear direction on what they commit to deliver.
How does building a Customer Promise work with Onivio?
In four steps: diagnosis (journey analysis, customer verbatims, current practices), defining the commitments (writing, tangible proof, alignment with real capabilities), validation (co-build workshops with CX, marketing and leadership teams), and operational rollout (internal and external plan, team training, integration into processes). Total duration: 4 to 8 weeks.
How long does it take to define a Customer Promise?
Between 4 and 8 weeks depending on scope and the level of rollout support. That timeline covers the diagnosis, defining the commitments, the validation workshops and building the deployment plan.
What deliverable will I receive?
A formalised and validated Customer Promise document, with tangible proof attached to each commitment, the customer expectations analysis that roots it in reality, co-build workshops with your teams, and an internal and external deployment plan (communication, training, integration into processes).
Do you provide support after the promise is defined?
Yes. The deployment plan is designed to bring the promise to life day to day: internal activation, team training, integration into processes and touchpoints. We can support that rollout or hand it over to your teams, as you prefer.
How much does building a Customer Promise cost?
From €8,000 excl. VAT. The upper range applies to broader scopes with rollout support. A precise quote is drawn up after an initial scoping conversation.
How is this different from a marketing strapline?
A strapline is a communication line; a customer promise is an operational commitment. It is rooted in your real capabilities, backed by tangible proof, expressed at every touchpoint and kept by your teams. It is not built to charm but to be lived.
Which sectors can benefit from a Customer Promise?
Any sector where the customer relationship is a differentiator: banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, B2B SaaS, services. The method adapts to your context — B2B, B2C or B2B2C — in France and internationally.
