For decades, Tesco has been a staple of British life—more than just a supermarket, it is a brand built on trust, accessibility, and customer care. But its success didn’t happen by chance. Tesco has consistently adapted to consumer needs, investing in customer relationships, employee engagement, and digital transformation.
The telecoms industry, by contrast, has often been slow to innovate in customer service. From confusing contracts to impersonal call centres, many businesses and consumers have felt trapped by poor support and inflexible service.
At Your Comms Group, we believe telecoms should work differently. We take inspiration from Tesco’s customer-first philosophy while staying true to our core values:
✔ Colleague First – Because happy employees lead to better customer experiences.
✔ Customer Delight – Because exceeding expectations builds long-term loyalty.
Here’s how Tesco’s customer-first model—and our approach at Your Comms Group—are shaping the future of telecoms.
Tesco’s Customer-Centric Strategies
1. Using Data to Create Personalised Services
Tesco’s Clubcard loyalty programme is one of the most successful in UK retail history. By analysing customer shopping habits, Tesco tailors offers and recommendations to individual needs, improving customer retention and satisfaction.
🔹 The Telecom Lesson: Most telecom companies offer one-size-fits-all contracts and make little effort to understand customer needs. At Your Comms Group, we take a different approach.
• We track customer preferences and usage patterns to offer the right mobile plans, broadband packages, and managed services.
• We provide dedicated account managers to ensure our customers get personalised support.
• We believe in flexible contracts that suit our clients—not vice versa.
Colleague First Value in Action: By empowering our team with customer insights and flexible solutions, we ensure account managers can recommend the best telecom services for each business.
2. Employee Engagement Equals Better Service
Motivated employees power Tesco’s customer service. From in-store staff to delivery drivers, employees receive training, incentives, and career progression—leading to better service and happier customers.
🔹 The Telecom Lesson: Many telecom companies focus purely on sales targets, leaving employees demotivated and customers frustrated. At Your Comms Group, excellent service starts with a great team.
• We prioritise staff development through 360° evaluations and professional growth opportunities.
• We offer remote working options, allowing our employees to deliver excellent service from anywhere.
• We create a culture of ownership and responsibility, meaning every team member is invested in customer success.
Customer Delight Value in Action: When employees feel valued, they go above and beyond for customers—offering faster resolutions, better communication, and long-term service improvements.
3. Seamless, Multi-Channel Support
Tesco has mastered omnichannel customer service, allowing shoppers to browse online, use mobile apps, order for delivery, or visit stores—all with a seamless experience.
🔹 The Telecom Lesson: Telecom companies still rely heavily on call centres, which have long wait times and complex automated menus. Your Comms Group is changing that model.
• We offer multiple support options, including dedicated account managers, one-touch issue resolution, and an advanced web-based platform for usage and billing management.
• We proactively monitor customer satisfaction through NPS (Net Promoter Score) and feedback loops.
• we aim to solve customer issues on the first contact—not bounce them between departments.
Customer Delight Value in Action: Customers should never feel like they’re chasing a telecom provider for answers. We deliver fast, efficient, and transparent support—every time.
Why Telecoms Must Evolve—And How We’re Leading the Way
Tesco’s success proves that when a company puts people first—customers and employees—it builds long-term success. The telecoms industry, notorious for complex pricing, poor customer service, and inflexible contracts, needs to learn from this model.
At Your Comms Group, we’re already applying these principles:
✔ Tailored, data-driven telecom solutions instead of generic, rigid contracts.
✔ Motivated, empowered employees who care about service, not just sales.
✔ Seamless, multi-channel support designed around business needs, not corporate bureaucracy.
Today, businesses need more than connectivity—they need a telecom provider that understands, supports, and grows with them.
Final Thoughts: Demand More from Your Telecom Provider
Tesco changed how Britain shops by understanding customer needs, rewarding loyalty, and empowering employees. The telecoms industry should take note.
If your current provider doesn’t offer personalised service, responsive support, or flexibility, it’s time to expect more.
At Your Comms Group, we bring Tesco’s customer-first mindset to business telecoms—offering better service, tailored plans, and a genuinely caring team.
