Organizations that leverage their customer behavior to generate insights outperform their peers by 85% in sales growth

- Microsoft

Businesses stuck in a cycle of sales promotions that attract price-sensitive customers will not see long-term growth. With lower operating margins, businesses have less budget to deliver quality customer experience.

Once you start running regular sales promotions, customers expect it and wait for the next sales promotion before making their purchase. You are then stuck in sales promotion purgatory.

This ICP developlement sprint helps B2B organisations achieve product-market fit and align their sales and marketing messages with their buyer’s needs to create compelling content that converts. We do this by developing customer insights that inform how the buyer wants to be sold to, rather than how the company wants to promote itself.

With a comprehensive foundation of customer insight, you are able to produce compelling sales and marketing messages that resonate and turn more browsers into buyers without needing to discount.
