How AEON Credit Deployed a National CX Standard Across Every Branch
When AEON Credit approached Insaight, their request was straightforward: train all our staff across the country on customer service.
Insaight said no.
Not because the training was unnecessary. But because training without a defined standard is just activity. Before you can train people to deliver good service, you need to be clear — as an organisation — about what good service actually means for your customers, your brand, and your frontline context.
Insaight proposed a different approach. Start by defining the standard. Then train to it. Then measure whether it is being delivered.
Phase 1 — Defining the standard
Insaight worked with AEON Credit to establish a dedicated project team and facilitate the process of defining what excellent service looked like in their specific context. Not a generic customer service policy. A standard built around AEON Credit's customers, products, and frontline reality.
From that standard, Insaight built an Internal Quality Monitoring Programme (IQMP) — a structured evaluation framework that managers could use to assess whether the standard was being met at every branch, consistently.
This was the engagement that led directly to the creation of QRate. The IQMP Insaight built for AEON Credit became the foundation for QRate's internal quality monitoring module — and the prototype was deployed across AEON Credit's national branch network as part of this engagement.
Phase 2 — Training to the standard
With the standard defined and the measurement framework in place, Insaight designed and delivered training across every AEON Credit branch in Malaysia. Every staff member learned what the new standard was, how to perform against it, and — critically — how they would be evaluated and what they could see in the system about their own performance.
Transparency was deliberate. Staff who understand how they are being measured perform differently than staff who are assessed without context.
Phase 3 — Measuring the outcome
Results after the national deployment:
-
CSAT scores improved across branches
-
Mystery shopper scores improved by 10% nationwide
-
Staff demonstrated measurably stronger alignment with the defined service standard
The AEON Credit engagement remains Insaight's clearest proof point for the full loop — define, train, measure. And it is the story behind why QRate exists.
