Attracting and Keeping Customers in Crucial market conditions

There are several Keys to Attracting and Keeping Customers in Crucial market conditions. However, based on the knowledge I have acquired from industries, I have the following suggestions for entrepreneurs:

  • Culture: Create a culture of having customers and prospects at the top of your organizational chart so that your beliefs, values, and behaviours emphasize on superior customer value and continual quest for new source of value; and then refine cross-functional teams to be more customer focused.

  •  Market Sensing: Continuous Sensing or studying emerging market trends and opportunities; reading and understanding customers and prospects so well that their choices, aspirations, needs , priorities and frame of reference are better understood.

  • Market Relating: Cordial Market Relating is necessary for creating and maintaining better relationship with customers such that a bond is formed between your firm and them, and competition is not considered during purchase decision.
  • Competitive Sensing: While sensing happenings in the  market landscapes, you will also anticipate competitive moves that aim to attack your weak points. . With aggressive competitive posture, Jack Welsh of GE advised his managers to “Hit their competitors before they are big enough for it to be a fair fight”.
  • Anticipatory Strategic Thinking: The clarity of what you will continuously learn about the markets and competitive moves will help us devise winning strategies that anticipates rather than react to market threats, changing conditions and opportunities. This will helpyou make accurate fact-based decisions for market success.

The world needs the Gifts and Skills that only you have

 TAP THE UNTAPPED. RELEASE THE RESERVOIR. Learn more at the Ransford Online School. Your life has the potential to fulfill your purpose. If, however, you imprison that potential, you rob your life of its purpose and fulfillment.  You and every other individual on this planet possess an awesome treasure. Too much of this treasure is buried every day, untapped and untouched, in the cemeteries of our world.  Much talent, skill and creativity have been lost to the world for want of a little courage. Many obscure men and women enter eternity pregnant with potential, with a still-born purpose. Living with ability brings responsibility. Dying with ability reveals irresponsibility.

Worldview Matters

Worldviews are rules, values, beliefs and biases that an individual customer brings to buying situation.  If Jude got completely screwed the last time he bought a car from a used-car salesman, the worldview he has when visiting a dealership four years later is a little different than that of someone who is buying her third car in four years from the same place. If Nkechi sees her job as purchasing agent for a big company as one where she should avoid risks, she’ll view that new salesperson in her office very differently than if her understanding of her job is that she should cut costs by innovating and trying new alternatives. Different people, different worldviews. People can see the same data and make a totally different decision. Worldview Affects What's bought ! People don’t buy what we sell. They buy or want to buy what it will do for them. They want the way it will make them feel. What we sell is a means to an end. They are roads to achieve...
