I have a passion for working with customers, to explore what really matters to them, what motivates and engages them to form the level of partnership with their suppliers that is mutually beneficial for both parties.I believe in the power of leadership development to form closer connections not only inside your company to your current employees, but also to build deeper relationships to external customers or supplier partners.Lots of sales professionals get it 'right' based on their 'gut feeling', but let's face the brutal facts as indicated in a recent Gallup study, which found that two out of three B2B customers are actively dis-engaged from their suppliers, which means they are ready to take the business elsewhere. There is lots of room for improvement.Do you ever wonder on how do you become a 'Partner' to your customers, with full access to all influencers and decisions makers?On how to establish a business relationship with them on a higher purpose than price? The kind of relationship that drives organic growth and at the same time allows you to enjoy higher margins than your competitors?Is 'customer satisfaction' a big buzz-word, but when you look closer, you realize that your organization has a limited focus on "conformance to requirements", which may mean measuring 'quality issues' or 'delivery performance' depending on your business model?Or are you looking beyond these rational expectations of your customers, on how to emotionally attach them to you as their supplier?To build the strong customer connections that produce enhanced financial benefits, a more complete view of customer expectations is needed, which incorporates an understanding of the emotional dimensions of customer commitment.How can I help you?Could it be Training of new members you are adding to your various teams working with your customers (not limited to sales)?Could it be a Workshop for your established sales force to get them to change perspective and think outside the box (again)?Could it be Coaching of key individuals or small teams to help your organization to establish a true customer centric culture that will increase sales success?Let's have a conversation on what matters most to you. I don't believe in a canned one-size-fits-all approach, but rather in tailored solutions.Thank you!
