Customer Centricity
A great read, clear and concise – inspirational!
Renowned behavioral data expert Peter Fader, Co-Director of The Wharton Customer Analytics Initiative, helps businesses radically rethink how they relate to customers. Prof. Fader talks about Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), explains attrition rate and long-term thinking, why acquisition is an essential focus, and delivers metrics for acquisition to gauge and guide acquisition activities. Fader explains the “cracks” in product centricity, ergo retail saturation: distribution technology brings every ‘thing’ to every ‘where’, customers are more informed, product life cycles are much shorter, and the Internet takes away monopolization of products, etc. This creates the need for a new strategic approach.
“Customer centricity is a strategy to fundamentally align a company’s products and services with the wants and needs of its most valuable customers. That strategy has a specific aim: more profits for the long term.” Excerpt from Customer Centricity
Fader explains the ideas of brand equity and customer equity and how to calculate these values.

We align our service and activities around our customers’ needs, talking to them in their language and enhancing their ability to achieve a high performance.
