Download or read book CustomerCentric Selling Second Edition written by Michael T. Bosworth and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Web has changed the game for your customers— and, therefore, for you. Now, CustomerCentric Selling, already recognized as one of the premier methodologies for managing the buyer-seller relationship, helps you level the playing field so you can reach clients when they are ready to buy and create a superior customer experience. Your business and its people need to be “CustomerCentric”—willing and able to identify and serve customers’ needs in a world where competition waits just a mouse-click away. Traditional wisdom has long held that selling means convincing and persuading buyers. But today’s buyers no longer want or need to be sold in traditional ways. CustomerCentric Selling gives you mastery of the crucial eight aspects of communicating with today’s clients to achieve optimal results: Having conversations instead of making presentations Asking relevant questions instead of offering opinions Focusing on solutions and not only relationships Targeting businesspeople instead of gravitating toward users Relating product usage instead of relying on features Competing to win—not just to stay busy Closing on the buyer’s timeline (instead of yours) Empowering buyers instead of trying to “sell” them What’s more, CustomerCentric Selling teaches and reinforces key tactics that will make the most of your organization’s resources. Perhaps you feel you don’t have the smartest internal systems in place to ensure an ideal workflow. (Perhaps, as is all too common, you lack identifiable systems almost entirely.) From the basics—and beyond—of strategic budgeting and negotiation to assessing and developing the skills of your sales force, you’ll learn how to make sure that each step your business takes is the right one.
Download or read book The Customer Copernicus written by Charlie Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some companies are great for customers – not only do they care but they change whole markets to work better for the customers they serve. Think of Amazon, easyJet and Sky. They make things easier and improve what really matters – obvious, surely? They have also enjoyed huge business success, growing and making plenty of money. The Customer Copernicus answers the question that follows – if it’s obvious and attractive why is it so rare? And then it answers a second question, because Tesco, O2 and Wells Fargo were like this once. Why, having mastered it, would you ever stop? Because all three did, and two ended up in court. The Customer Copernicus explains how to become and how to stay customer-led. Essential reading for leaders and teams who want their organisations to stay competitive by developing a more purposeful and innovative culture.

Download or read book Hooked on Customers written by Robert G. Thompson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Talk is cheap." A cliché, perhaps, but the idea that what we do is more important than what we say is a fundamental truth. It applies in our personal lives and can extend into our professional work, too. Learning to let your actions do the talking can be revolutionary to a company that struggles to create enduring customer relationships. People who own operate, manage, or otherwise lead a company are always looking for ways to improve productivity, beat the competition, and ensure long-term success. Learning how to put words and ideas into action can be a key to success in the business world. Hooked on Customers is not about finding the right words, whether labeled as a "strategy" or not. It is an insightful, highly informative book that propels businesses into action. It explores successful customer-centric businesses, examines the ways they execute their strategies, and provides practical recommendations for business leaders to more effectively outperform their competition. A must-have for any business leader who wants to have a healthy relationship with customers, this book avoids the pitfalls that often plague others that offer business advice. Frequently, company leaders turn to consultants and other resources to recommend strategies that sound great but ultimately don't have any real meaning because they are a series of words without a tie to actions. Combining his own professional experiences working as a CEO with his extensive research and expertise as an international authority on customer-centricity, author Robert Thompson has identified the five routine organizational habits successful customer-centric businesses use when executing strategy. Legendary leading customer-centric businesses: LISTEN to their customers' values and feedback. THINK about the implications of fact-based decisions on customers EMPOWER employees with the freedom they need to please customers CREATE new value for customers, without being asked DELIGHT customers by exceeding their expectations Crucial to Thompson's discussion of these habits is the premise that there are no quick fixes. Customer-centricity takes time, determination, and company-wide commitment. It must be maintained and constantly pursued to ensure that it becomes part of the fabric of a business. In the end, the results are well worth it. Hooked on Customers helps leaders understand, adopt, and implement the five crucial habits that enable companies to not only survive in highly competitive, overcrowded markets but to dominate them, creating a legacy of success and inspiration along the way.

Book excerpt: Struggling to ensure that the customer is at the center of all your business does? This book is your guide to putting the "customer" in customer experience. Not sure what that means? Well, for starters, too many executives believe they are delighting their customers. Why wouldn't they think that?! When they focus on growth, those customer acquisition numbers are pretty sweet, but they don't tell the real story. Prioritizing customer retention is critical. But you can't just throw technology at it, give it some lip service, and call it a day. Retention is hard work! You've got to understand who your customers are and what problems they are trying to solve or what jobs they are trying to do. Then you've got to use that understanding to design an experience that helps customers achieve their goals. That's the key to putting the customer in customer experience! Ultimately, you need to bring the customer voice into all meetings, decisions, processes, and designs. The customer must be at the center of all you do. After all, it's all about the customer! In this book, I cover the three approaches to customer understanding: surveys and data, personas, and journey mapping. I could've written the whole book about journey mapping, but there's so much more to building a customer-centric business than journey mapping. The culture must first be deliberately designed to put the customer at the heart of the business. And all foundational elements of a CX transformation must be in place to make that happen. With that knowledge, read this book and: Learn about the three approaches you must use to understand your customers, why you must use them, and how they work together. Create an action plan to ensure insights gleaned from these three approaches are implemented in your organization. Develop and assign personas to your customers in order to better understand their needs, goals, problems to solve, and jobs to be done. Learn the difference between touchpoint maps and journey maps and how touchpoint maps can still be a valuable asset in your customer experience toolbox. Understand why journey mapping is called the backbone of customer experience management - and how to make it so in your organization. Set up and facilitate your own current-state and future-state journey mapping workshops with customers. Set up and facilitate service blueprint workshops with internal stakeholders. Find out how to put the customer at the heart of your business. And more!

Download or read book Customer Innovation written by Marion Debruyne and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2014-05-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new set of organizations has discovered a new formula: they combine customer-centricity with innovative power. These organizations have created a completely outside-in approach to the market. Not driven by what they're good at, they start with the market and design their strategy around it, replacing practices of the past with a new set of capabilities which enable them to be ahead of the curve in discovering new market opportunities. Whereas the traditional value chain model regards the market as the end-outcome of the efforts of the organization, the reversed value chain model starts there. The customer is the starting point and the value chain is the result of understanding customer needs and requirements. Customer Innovation presents this unique case for developing the outside-in organization to drive your business success, combining market orientation with innovation to enable actionable positive change in the way your company does business. Winner of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship category of the 2015 CMI Management Book of the Year Awards, Customer Innovation provides every business with the framework it needs to combine customer focus with innovation to achieve success. It is packed with real world examples from a range of leading global companies including Disney, Coca-Cola, LEGO, Eurex, Netflix, KLM, Carglass, Komatsu, Callebaut and more to help you put market awareness at the heart of your business.

Download or read book Customer Centric Project Management written by Mr Phil Peplow and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a sea-change in the focus of organizations - whether private or public - away from a traditional product- or service-centricity towards customer-centricity and projects are just as much a part of that change. Projects must deliver value; projects must involve stakeholders, and Elizabeth Harrin and Phil Peplow demonstrate convincingly that stakeholders are the ones who get to decide what ‘value’ actually means. Customer-Centric Project Management is a short guide explaining what customer-centricity means in terms of how you work and its importance for project performance; using tools and processes to guide customer-centric thinking will help you see the results of engagement and demonstrate how things can improve, even on difficult projects. The text provides a straightforward implementation guide to moving your own business to a customer-centric way of working, using a model called Exceed and provides some guidance for ensuring that customer-centricity is sustainable and supported in the organization. This is a practical, rigorous and well-researched text. It draws on established models and uses the example of project implementation in a healthcare environment to demonstrate the impact of this significant way of thinking about value. The authors can’t guarantee that the Exceed process will radically improve project success rates, and no process can. Adopting a customer-centric mindset and using the Exceed process to measure and monitor customer satisfaction will, however, help you move towards working with happier, more engaged stakeholders.

Book excerpt: "From the day we founded The Ritz-Carlton, our vision has been to be the very best at what we do. In order to achieve success it has been essential to have a solid foundation, a clear roadmap and solid processes for our people. In this book, James examines the importance of a solid foundation for any organization or individual. A story that provides true inspiration."Hervé Humler - President, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel CompanyDodkins exposes the customer centricity myths that are holding back the most well-meaning organizations. Important lessons for anyone involved in owning, running, or improving any business - any size, any level, and any industry.Shep Hyken, New York Times bestselling author of The Amazement Revolution"Thank you so much for writing this book! It skewers the dangerous myths that customer-centricity can be achieved through "lipstick on the pig" internal changes or minor tweaks to stock mega-consultant methodologies. It is the clearest and simplest statement I have yet seen espousing the true foundations of customer-centricity.A mentor of mine observed that the biggest threat to the success of innovative projects was the inability to let go of "cherished notions." The ideas in this book are stunning in their simplicity and compelling in their impact, but only for those readers willing to reconsider deeply held, though often unexamined, "cherished notions" about how business should be structured and guided. Some salient examples:Trying "to exceed customer expectations every time," far from being a formula for success, is, in fact, an oxymoron"Voice of the Customer" exercises are not only a waste of time, but, in fact, may be worse than doing nothing. That most companies today have become caught in the trap of defining the business they are in by what they do, not by what outcome they are there to achieve.Categorizing customers by market segment is counter-productive. We should instead categorize customers by need With rare exceptions, offering customer's options is a high-cost, failure prone admission that we don't truly understand their need.That transforming into a true customer-centric organization need NOT require a massive "change management" initiative... but rather, first and foremost, a change in mindset and measurement systems And, finally and most importantly, we must stop investing in the delusion that hierarchical organizational structures based on division of specialized labor is somehow an immutable natural law as opposed to a 200+ year old human-originated concept that has outlived its usefulness.This book also (thankfully!) challenges the assumption that business books have to be 400 pages long."Steve Melville - Director, Oracle"Who knew a book on customer centricity could elicit as many a-ha moments as it does laughter? Dodkins writes in an authentic, passionate and dedicated voice - quickly joining the ranks of other industry greats. What he has created here is an intriguing, at times even uncomfortable, and ultimately compelling case in the power of foundations, practices and outcomes of true customer centricity. Designed as a quick read, bring this book on your next flight or to the local coffee shop. When you lift your head from the final page, or even after a chapter in between, be prepared for the desire that will overtake you to reexamine the customer experience you are in and those that you are - or are not - creating at your organization."Erika Westbay - Managing Director, Organization by Design at The Nature Conservancy (www.nature.org)
