One of the first questions for any organization is what do the customers want?  Or more importantly, what will they pay for, and what will it take for them to come back and/or tell their friends about us?  These are the questions of exponential growth.  When customers are satisfied with the experience of doing business with you, they tend to keep coming back.  This may state the obvious but if you keep the customers you have and continue to attract new customers, your business will grow. 

So, what do you need to know to create a remarkable experience?

There are three key dimensions to customer and market knowledge:  the determination of customer groups, an approach to LISTENING and LEARNING from key customer requirements, and a method to translate those requirements into features and functions and identify their relative importance.

Customer Groups

Why segment customers into groups?   Customers have different wants, needs and desires.  Some organizations segment their customers based on products, regions, types of businesses, profitability, etc…  Regardless of the type of segmentation, the fundamental premise is that these groups are defined by their common needs, wants and desires.  

Why the focus on wants, needs and desires?  They drive the offerings -  market strategies, products and services and their features, relationship building approaches, and listening and learning approaches.

How do you know what the customer wants?   How do you know what they will pay for?  Listening and learning strategies are critical to a fact-based approach to customer knowledge.  These strategies range from talking personally with customers and performing customer satisfaction surveys, to customer and market research and studying customer behaviors.  The requirements (needs, wants and desires) drive product and service offerings.

Knowing your customer and market information is the most important facet of operating a successful business in today’s busy and hectic world.  Your customers are the backbone of your business.  Ask yourself…where would I be without them?
