Understand Identify Measure Communicate Skills for Value Selling Track and Deliver

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:

  1. Understand the effect of 'value' on creating real differentiation, long term strategic customer relationships and the challenge of the sales skill shortage
  2. Have modelled, for yourself, the likely financial impact, either positive or negative, for your company of properly exploiting your customer value.
  3. Have greater insight into the nature of your hidden customer value and its likely impact on your ability to win.
  4. Understand what both 'good' and 'bad' implementations of a customer value approach look like.
  5. 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.

"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.”
