Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all realize how important customers are. We all know what will help build a good relationship with our customers. Yet so often it is done badly. Unlike great products and low prices, great customer service is hard to copy. In a fiercely competitive world, differentiation is the name of the game.Capturing Customers' Heartsanalyzes companies where the product or the company itself generates a special reaction in a customer, something much more than brand loyalty - true affection. Building 12 components of charisma on the foundation of service delivery, it uses examples of best and worst practice to pinpoint the forces that will win new customers, keep them and capture their hearts.Capture your customers' hearts - their loyalty will follow.There has been a crucial focus on customer service for at least 15 years. So does this mean that we can concentrate on the next big thing? Not a chance. Survey after survey has shown that really good customer service is still the exception. And with customer expectations higher than ever, and the competition not standing still - especially with the emergence of the wired world - an outstanding customer relationship is the only safe way of building differentiation.To make a customer relationship the driving force behind repeat business and differentiation calls for a quantum shift in thinking and doing; from customer friendliness to customer charisma. A business with charisma gives the customer something very special. When you deal with a business with charisma, you want to tell others about it. You want to share your feelings. This book is about giving your business charisma. Capturing Customers' Hearts analyzes what lies behind customers' emotional attachment to a product or service, and teaches you how to create customer charisma so that not only is your company winning new customers, but is keeping its existing ones.You'll never look at your customers in the same way again.Reviews"Essential reading - every page presents insights and facts that are now crucial to differentiation and success."

Download or read book Capturing Customer Equity written by David Bejou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important new concepts in marketing is customer equity—here’s the essential information you need to create and manage it! This book presents thought-provoking, cutting-edge writing on customer equity management. The editors and contributing authors are top international marketing researchers who share their expertise in this new area of marketing research and practice. Capturing Customer Equity: Moving from Products to Markets is designed to enable academics to chart out future research directions and to help marketers to apply recently developed frameworks to the creation and management of customer equity in domestic and international markets. Handy charts, tables, and figures make complex information easy to access and understand. Capturing Customer Equity: Moving from Products to Markets is divided into five chapters: Developing Relationship Equity in International Markets This chapter delves into the realm of relationship marketing to define the term relationship equity and presents strategies for enhancing relationship equity in international markets via personal relationships as well as consistent processes and outcomes. This chapter, written by the editors and their partner Arun Sharma, also looks at specific implications for relationship marketing theory and practice in international markets. Dimension and Implementation Drivers of Customer Equity Management (CEM)—Conceptual Framework, Qualitative Evidence, and Preliminary Results of a Quantitative Study This chapter explores theoretical considerations as well as qualitative and quantitative research applying confirmatory factor analysis. It identifies three important dimensions of Customer Equity Management (CEM)—analytical, strategic, and operational—as well as three types of CEM implementation drivers, which represent determinants of the three CEM dimensions. Authors Manfred Bruhn, Dominik Georgi, and Karsten Hadwich present the measures they’ve developed for the CEM dimensions and drivers. These measures provide valuable help to practitioners and academics who need to understand how to manage and implement systematic customer equity management. A Network-Based Approach to Customer Equity Management This chapter, by René Algesheimer and Florian von Wangenheim, moves beyond the dyadic relationship marketing concept to present a theoretical framework for extending current thinking on customer equity towards the network perspective. Based on the current literature in social work, this chapter examines the characteristics that are likely to be powerful predictors of a customer’s network value. Practical implications are highlighted, and directions for further research are suggested. Strategies for Maximizing Customer Equity of Low Lifetime Value Customers The management of customer equity has become a major issue for many firms. This chapter examines strategies designed to assist firms in their relationships with customers who have low lifetime value. By examining the relevant literature as well as industry strategies, author Arun Sharma explores the reasons why “transactional” and “discount” customers have largely been ignored by marketing strategists, and proposes methods to enhance segment penetration and the performance of firms. Implications for managers are also highlighted. Customer Value-Based Entry Decision in International Markets: The Cnocept of International Added Customer Equity Market entry decisions are some of a firm’s most important long-term strategic choices. Still, the international marketing literature has not yet fully incorporated the idea of relationship marketing in general, and the customer value concept in particular, as a basis for market entry decisions. This chapter, by Heiner Evanschitzky and Florian von Wange

Download or read book Value Based Pricing Drive Sales and Boost Your Bottom Line by Creating Communicating and Capturing Customer Value written by Harry Macdivitt and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2011-10-17 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Groundbreaking Pricing Model for the New Business Landscape Why would any customer choose Brand X over Brand Y, regardless of price? In a word: Value. When customers feel they are getting good value from your product or service, they are more than happy to pay more—which is good news for you and your business. Even in today’s global market—with its aggressive competitors, low-cost commodities, savvy consumers, and intangible digital offerings—you can outsell and outperform the rest using Value-Based Pricing. Done correctly, this method of pricing and selling helps you: Understand your customers’ wants and needs Focus on what makes your company different Quantify your differences and build a value-based strategy Communicate your value directly to your customers Now more than ever, it is essential for you to reexamine the reality of the value you offer customers—and this step-by-step program shows you how. Developed by global consultants Harry Macdivitt and Mike Wilkinson, Value-Based Pricing identifies three basic elements of the Value Triad: revenue gain, cost reduction, and emotional contribution. By delivering these core values to your customers—through marketing, selling, negotiation, and pricing—you can expect an increase in profits, productivity, and consumer goodwill. These are the same value-based strategies used by major companies such as Philips, Alstom, Siemens, and Virgin Mobile. And when it comes to today’s more intangible markets—such as consulting services or digital properties like e-books and music files—these value-based strategies are more important than ever. So forget about your old pricing methods based on costs and competition. Once you know your own value—and how to communicate it to others—everybody profits.

Download or read book Visual Selling written by Paul LeRoux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual Selling provides salespeople with tools to sell in an increasingly image-oriented culture. More so than ever before, the way a salesperson looks and acts, the images on a screen or in handouts, and even room environments can impact people’s trust, satisfaction and willingness to buy. The authors believe that, to sell most effectively, the seller must be the visual focal point. This book draws on 25 years of experience coaching individuals and organizations in the art of visual selling, sharing stories and techniques used in big-dollar competitive presentations and pitches to senior management. Divided into three sections (the Seller as Focal Point, Getting Ready to Sell and Selling Situations), Visual Selling will appeal to a wide variety of business readers because it can be used to help salespeople sell one-on-one, as well as to assist corporate presenters at selling new programs or products in-house. Section I – The Seller as Focal Point Section II – Getting Ready to Sell Section III – Selling Situations

Download or read book Conceptualizing and capturing digital transformation s customer value a logistics and supply chain management perspective written by Junge, Anna Lisa and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis aims to add knowledge that contributes to answering the question of how digital transformation technologies can contribute to increasing customer value in logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM), and how manufacturing companies can mindfully use them. The output of the thesis is an architectural framework that proposes performance components, approaches and methodologies that can help in capturing this customer value. To build the basis for such a framework, this research first deduces and presents the underlying definition of digital transformation and describes its potential for, as well as current barriers for its application in, L&SCM. The study uses a systematic literature review to identify nine underlying digital transformation technology bundles. These are: auto-identification technologies; information and communication technologies; the cloud; cyber physical systems; analytics; distributed ledger; automation technologies; augmented and virtual reality; and additive manufacturing. These technologies served as inputs for a nominal group technique workshop aiming to conceptualize the dimensions of customer value based on the technologies. The derived dimensions are information disclosure, time, product/production, service/assistance, quality, choice options, and planning. Based on these findings, this thesis presents an impact assessment for customer-based L&SCM performance. The three-plus-one customer value propositions are availability, servitization, co-creation, and cognition as enhancement. Expert interviews provide the data for the architectural framework for capturing customer value based on digital transformation technologies in L&SCM. The six dimensions covered are the customer value proposition; the value portfolio; scope of collaboration; human resource management and organization; performance management; as well as the (re-)adjusting value assessment. The main scientific contribution lies in conceptualizing the customer value for L&SCM based on digital transformation technologies whereas the architectural framework constitutes the main practical contributions. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Frage zu beantworten, wie digitale Transformationstechnologien dazu beitragen und bewusst eingesetzt werden können, um den Kundennutzen in Logistik und Supply Chain Management (L&SCM) von produzierenden Unternehmen zu erhöhen. Das Ergebnis ist ein architektonischer Rahmen, der Leistungskomponenten, Ansätze und Methoden vorschlägt, wie dieser Kundenmehrwert erfasst und umgesetzt werden kann. Um die Grundlage für das Framework zu schaffen, leitet diese Arbeit zunächst die zugrunde liegende Definition für digitale Transformation ab und beschreibt deren Potentiale sowie die aktuellen Barrieren für L&SCM. Die relevanten neun digitalen Transformationstechnologiebündel werden auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturanalyse identifiziert. Es handelt sich um Technologien zur automatischen Identifizierung, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien, Cloud, cyberphysikalische Systeme, Analytics, Distributed Ledger, Automatisierungstechnologien, Augmented und Virtual Reality sowie Additive Fertigung. Diese Technologien dienen als Input für einen Nominal Group Technique-Workshop, der darauf abzielt, die Dimensionen des Kundennutzens auf der Grundlage dieser Technologien zu konzeptualisieren. Die abgeleiteten Dimensionen sind Informationsverfügbarkeit, Zeit, Produkt/Produktion, Service und Assistenzsysteme, Qualität, Auswahlmöglichkeiten und Planung. Auf der Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wird ein Einflussmodell für kundenorientierte L&SCM Leistungen vorgestellt. Die drei plus eins Kundenwertversprechen sind Verfügbarkeit, Service, Ko-Kreation und Kognition als Zusatzkomponente bzw. Erweiterung. Experteninterviews dienen als Datenbasis für das architektonische Framework zur Erfassung des Kundennutzens auf der Grundlage digitaler Transformationstechnologien in L&SCM. Die sechs abgedeckten Dimensionen sind das Kundenwertversprechen, das Wertportfolio, Kollaboration, Personalmanagement und Organisation, Leistungsmanagement sowie die Erfassung und Bewertung des Kundenwertes. Der wichtigste wissenschaftliche Beitrag liegt in der Konzeption des Kundennutzens für L&SCM auf der Grundlage digitaler Transformationstechnologien, während der wichtigste praktische Beitrag in dem architektonischen Framework zu sehen ist.

You'll learn how to “recon” and take advantage of weaknesses of your competition, as well as hone in on what will work in new markets to make sure you are memorable.
