Event Details
Amazing things happen when an organization begins to think first about how it can make its customers better off. The days of defining winning by only considering your own P&L are over. Leading b-to-b companies are focused on making their customers more money than their competitors, and getting their fair share ? otherwise known as ?winning with customers.? This is achieved when your success metrics link your business model to your customers' business models so that you can offer your customers the ultimate value proposition: enhanced profitability from doing business with you.
So how can you tell if your organization is focused on winning with customers? Let?s begin with the all-important question: Do your customers make more money doing business with you? As you ponder this question, consider the following four statements that describe a company on the right path--do these statements describe your organization?
* We know specifically how we help customers
make more money.
* We measure and track how much money
customers make doing business with us over
time
* We measure and track how much more money
our customers make doing business with us
relative to our competitors
* We understand how we will make our
customers more money in the future
Join the authors of the new book Winning with Customers: A Playbook for B2B to explore the ingredients leading organizations such as Owens Corning and Turtle Wax are using to answer these four questions to win.
