Customer as Partners: Building Profitable Professional Relationships That Last

Customer as Partners: Building Profitable Professional Relationships That Last

Distinctive service in the professional or B2B world can be vastly different than the approach used by a merchant to win a consumer. For the business-to-business world and/or the space of sophisticated products or specialized expertise, the path to success has become a long-term, profitable relationship, not just a glitzy experience. When those you serve feel like valued partners in a power-free relationship, their expectations are more realistic, they are more forgiving of mistakes, more ardent advocates, and their economic investment in the firm or organization deepens. This keynote is particularly relevant for B2B organization concerned with disintermediation and the erosion of the distribution channel in favor of direct relationships with consumers. Research convincingly demonstrates it is the depth of the relationship, not the quality of the product or expertise, which retains the relationship. Even in the B2B world with its extreme price-sensitivity and the watchful eye of the purchasing czars, the quality of the relationship has become a key component in how value is defined. Based on his international best-selling books Customers as Partners and Dance Lessons: Six Steps to Great Partnerships in Business and Life, Dr. Chip Bell’s insightful, fresh program provides audiences with provocative, yet practical tools, tips and techniques for building profitable relationships that last.
