Abstract
Successful customer retention starts with the first contact an organization has with a customer and continues throughout the entire lifetime of the relationship. A company's ability to attract and retain new customers, is not only related to its product or services, but strongly related to the way it services its existing customers and the reputation it creates within and across the marketplace. This study therefore sought to investigate the application of customer relationship management on customer retention in British-American Insurance as a case study of life insurance companies in Kenya. The study also sought to establish the relationship between communication, customer segmentation and feedback management on customer retention in British-American Insurance. This study used a descriptive research design. The target population in this study was 300 employees working in all the 11 departments in British-American Insurance. The sample size for this study was therefore 44 respondents. A questionnaire was used to collect the primary data. The data from the field was first coded according to the themes researched on the study. Analysis was done with aid of the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) package.
