Customers have changed and they have new expectations.
Customers are looking for new ways to engage with businesses. 70% of the customers are through the buying cycle before they contact you. They are connected, in control and already informed on products, pricing, competitors and reviews.
Customers have new expectations and they want outcomes, not ownership. Customisation, not generalisation. They expect services to be personalised, constantly improved, real-time and memorable.
Businesses must change together with them.
There is a fundamental mismatch between how organisations market and sell, and the way people actually shop and buy.

These relationship-based models help businesses grow, but also hold them accountable for long-term value to customers and their loyalty.

In the last 15 years, 52% of the Fortune 500 Companies have Disappeared.
