The Customer Value Module
Understand – What is it and is it right for us?
You don’t mess with your sales process without a very
good reason and without understanding what you’re going to
change, why you’re going to change it and what you expect
to get back for the risk and cost of the change.
So step 1 enables you to understand the issues, the
challenges and the rewards. We have created a set of
Executive Briefings that aim to help you bring into
sharper focus the power that is inherent in your customer value but
also explores the right way and the wrong way to
implement the customer value enhancement.
The executive briefings will place you in a position properly
to judge whether Value Based Selling is right for your organisation
and, if it is, how safely to enhance your existing sales process.
Insights into Improving Renewal Rates & Sales Productivity
On average our clients increase their deal size
by 112% and their sales margin by 13%.
Just another outrageous claim? Well, before you dismiss
this one, these are not our figures – they're our clients'.
You see, our clients all had one thing in common – they
struggled to articulate their customer value or didn't
believe in customer value or believed that they were fully
exploiting their customer value.
In fact, most companies are failing to exploit
between 50% - 70% of their potential customer value – and
this is largely because the techniques required are, for
many, counter-intuitive.
It's why we have created three short Executive Briefings
that naturally tailor themselves to your company and
its specific situation.
Our aim is to help you bring into sharper focus the power
that is inherent in your customer value and explore with you
some of the ways in which that power can be harnessed to
deliver improving renewal rates, higher sales productivity
and enhanced profitable growth.
Briefing 1 – Why 'customer value' should matter to you.
Briefing 2 – Using your hidden customer value to win more.
Briefing 3 – Working with 'Value' - the critical success factors.
Your outcomes
You will:
- Understand the effect of 'value' on creating real
differentiation, long term strategic customer
relationships and the challenge of the sales
skill shortage
- Have modelled, for yourself, the likely financial
impact, either positive or negative, for your
company of properly exploiting your customer
value.
- Have greater insight into the nature of your
hidden customer value and its likely impact
on your ability to win.
- Understand what both 'good' and 'bad'
implementations of a customer value approach
look like.
- Have a greater appreciation of the practical
issues to be addressed if success is to be
assured from implementing a value approach to
sales and customer relationships.
Briefing Overview
Duration: 2 hrs per briefing
Location: of your choosing (travel charge if non mainland UK)
Intended For: CEO's, Sales & Marketing Executives & Business Development Executives
Your downside risk of proceeding with Briefing 1 is £250
and two hours of your time. Your upside potential benefit
is a pathway to a deal size increase of 112% and an increase
in sales margin of 13%.
From this distance, this is as close as I can come to
minimising your risk of taking action.

"We created the mother of all spreadsheets and
then called the customer an idiot for not understanding the value
we were delivering. Needless to say, we didn’t win the recompete."
Head of Business Development – Aerospace sector
“The value simulator combined with the structured value
presentation review was, to me, very enlightening. I know I felt we were really
onto something. I think this is very powerful. The team is no longer thinking
feature/function - but value / enterprise. In summary, the Lucidus approach is
great! But like any approach, we need to develop the use of it around new,
improved processes that I think will be very powerful.”
