A small but growing number of suppliers in business markets draw on their knowledge of what customers value, and would value, to gain marketplace advantages over their less knowledgeable competitors. These suppliers have developed what we call customer value models, which are data-driven representations of the worth, in monetary terms, of what the supplier is doing or could do for its customers.
To measure value in practice, it is crucial to have a shared understanding of exactly what value is in business markets. Before we go into any detail about building value models, we need to provide a brief explanation of what we mean by value. Value in business markets is the worth in monetary terms of the technical, economic, service, and social benefits a customer company receives in exchange for the price it pays for a market offering. We will elaborate on some aspects of this definition.
Single-number reach is designed for people who want callers to reach them easily, even if they are not at a single location or phone number during the course of a day. Provided from a central office switch, the service allows a caller to seek the buyer of the service via a sequence of programmed telephone numbers. To determine the target market segment, the company conducted four focus groups with itinerant Generation X professionals, some of whom had six telephone numbers on their business cards.
Although the company was interested in the actual monetary amounts given at the beginning and at the end, it was more interested in any pattern of differences between the amounts. An ominous pattern would be steep declines from the initial amounts to the ending amounts, indicating that the participants were initially intrigued with the service but, upon further consideration, concluded that it would not offer them much value. No significant change between the initial amounts and ending amounts would be a preferable pattern, provided the specified amounts were sufficiently large. The final pattern, considerable increases from the initial amounts to the ending amounts, would indicate that when the participants thought about the service, they recognized a greater potential value. That pattern would suggest the crucial role of business marketing communications in conveying the value of using the service to prospective customers.
To begin, GCS put together a case team, which consisted of a consulting manager, a consultant, and a business analyst. Pharma Labs formed a steering committee and a project team. The steering committee comprised the relevant department heads, such as maintenance, purchasing, manufacturing, inventory management, management information systems, and finance, and was responsible for project oversight and strategy development. The project team was a smaller cross-functional group with representatives from each of the departments on the steering committee and was responsible for working with the GCS case team.
By services, we mean much more than technical problem solving, equipment installation, training, and maintenance. We also are talking about programs that help customers to design their products or reduce their costs as well as rebates or bonuses that influence how customers do business with a supplier. And we also include systems such as logistics management; electronic data interchange for placing orders and tracking their status; and expert systems that figure out, for example, which materials can deliver desired functional performance to customers.
Offering new services as options has its own strategic advantage: it enables suppliers to gauge market interest. For example, although the traditional business of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company is printing, management believes that future growth lies in innovative services such as database management, consulting and training, three-dimensional pop-up ads, talking ads (print ads with a microchip that plays a message), direct marketing, layout systems, and mapping services. To test the demand for those services, Donnelley is offering them as options.
When enhancing the standard offering with additional services, managers have several choices: they can raise the price by an amount equal to the cost of providing the service, raise it less than the cost of providing the service, or perhaps even raise it slightly higher to camouflage a price increase. Several suppliers in our study that were competing in relatively stable markets and whose priority was gaining market share chose not to change their prices; they wanted to use the added options to gain new business. Others, which were competing in markets where price-cutting was rife, added options to avoid having to cut prices. Still others opted to try to gain market share by lowering prices even as they expanded the standard package.
Rather than simply focus on the traditional career elements such as résumé development and interview strategies, etc., CSPD strives to differentiate you by taking a multi-faceted approach with a focus on personal development, career/industry awareness and impression management. This strategy in combination with job search coaching will truly make a difference in terms of your marketability.
