Read an excerpt from the Customer Relationship Strategies Super Guide:

“The Customer Profile component on Business Model Canvases places an emphasis on both the logical and irrational parts of customers’ decision-making, drawing on both neurolinguistic programming and psychology studies of motivation and choice architecture. However, in contrast to other models of decision-making, this one does not presume that people are equally motivated by either gain or pain in the same way across the population.

For the vast majority of novel concepts and young businesses, growth is a challenge. Increasing expenditure on marketing won’t have much of an effect if the solution’s fit with the market isn’t optimal. In order for businesses to have a better understanding of their customers, which, in turn, will increase the solution’s compatibility with the market, an ongoing outside-in strategy is required. Instead of thinking you already know what your target audience wants, ask them directly.”

This is must-have knowledge for entrepreneurs and business model analysts, and consultants if you want to dominate business models, this super guide was made especially for you.
