Competing on value not price

Stellar Partnerships

We all love bargains. That’s why retailers are constantly promoting sales online or in-store. Years ago there used to be only the after Christmas sales, when people camped in the street to be first in line.

When is it time to transform?

Peter Simoons

The caterpillar knows exactly when it is the right moment to spin itself into a cocoon and start the transformation into a butterfly. However, for us, the moment to transform is not always as obvious. Missed Transformations. Kodak (who invented digital photography in the early 1970s) failed to benefit from their own invention and filed for bankruptcy in 2012.

The great customer resignation

Stellar Partnerships

This weekend’s election shows that results don’t always meet expectations. Life has a way of delivering unexpected or disappointing outcomes. Think about giant Freddos that aren’t really that big after all, the miracle grapefruit diet that didn’t work or Bridgerton season 2 without the raunchy bits. Edelman research shows that customers are expecting businesses to step up and take the lead on important societal issues.

Improving prospect experience for faster lead closure

Mindmatrix

The B2B sales model is often characterized by a lot of middlemen such as distributors, channel partners and authorized resellers.

While companies must certainly focus on their partners and distributors, improving prospect experience is what will help them achieve their ultimate goal–increas
