- CB Insight

Many businesses have become dependent on costly digital ads and are in a ‘pay to play’ scenario, operating an advertising funded growth model where the costs to acquire a customer are high and the quality of leads is low.

When businesses don’t perform rigorous competitor analysis and build market insights to inform their strategy, they risk developing a value proposition based on presumptions that doesn’t resonate with target customers which underperforms. In these circumstances, their subjective sales collateral is likely to result in low conversion rates.

Our value proposition design sprint helps B2B organisations build robust market insights to sharply differentiate and customer intelligence that helps produce a compelling value proposition. This approach enables businesses to launch with high performing sales and marketing programmes that drive long term, predictable and scalable growth.

Our sprint will enable you to build a foundation of market insight that help your business develop evidence based strategies that mitigate risk in marketing investments.
