Do you find that your customers’ expectations are constantly changing, your competition is fierce and your markets are dynamic? If you do, these are the challenges we help you successfully and confidently address with our customer-centric growth framework.
The return on customer-centricity is clear – 86% of buyers are willing to pay more for a great customer experience. And a Booz Allen study found businesses that are successful at customer-centricity outperform industry peers two-to-one in revenue growth and generated margins 5 to 10 percent above their competitors. Achieving customer-centricity requires stellar, organization-wide execution of many elements.
How to Up Your Customer-Centricity Game with the Circle of Traction® Framework
There are four enablers for achieving profitable growth via customer-centricity:
1. Growth plans and strategy derived from actionable insights
2. Upstream, Marketing-led initiatives focused on creating long-term customer value
3. Performance management for fast maneuvering
4. Operational excellence and processes scales growth
Based on this philosophy, we developed our Circle of Traction framework to provide a strategic road map for how businesses could achieve their growth mission. Achieving this mission requires adapting both externally and internally, to effectively compete in the market of winning the hearts and minds of customers.
Upping your customer-centric game is the only way to increase and retain competitive advantage.
