• Understand how the value is created for Customer groups – For the business (e.g.: higher retention, therefore
increased profitability; product mix and usage etc)
– For the customer - services, usage, accessibility, etc
• Develop strategies to create more customers with the same characteristics as the more profitable customers.
• Sweet spot is the Two-way exchange of value
• Large portions of profit-contribution come from small portions of customers.
Customer portfolios and profit
Advocacy and Net Promoter Score
Profit by Design © Mark Hocknell 2016 4
• Promoters / Passives / Detractors NPS
• 40 40 20 = 20
• 20 40 40 = -20
• Percentage of Promoters minus percentage of Detractors = NPS
• Relative to alternatives available to your customers, NPS is a predictor of future success.

Customer portfolios and profit Key takeaways:
• Not all customers are equal – In how they gain value from the business, or in
how they reciprocate value
– Or in advocacy
• Customer portfolios are created by the business – implicit and explicit actions and decisions.
• Two-way Value exchange – includes the advocacy from your customers.

How the traditions of sales mislead

The Eight Great Misleading Traditions of Sales
1. “Perception that sales is easy”
2. “Build it and they will come”
3. “It is all a numbers game”
4. “The gun sales guy”
5. “One throat to choke” (managing the parts rather than the whole)
6. “Focus on targets and dollar outcomes”
7. “Close the sale”
8. “Sell the product/service”

These ‘traditions of sales’ mislead businesses into thinking they are growing profitably; but instead they typically lead to the creation of a customer portfolio that has low overall profitability – the majority of customers contributing little profit and little advocacy.

Customer groups identified Two-way value quantified Intent with each Customer Group agreed.
Value Propositions • Two Levels for the customer – answers:
• “Why I should buy from you” – Your business, you the sales person
• “Why I should buy your product/service” – Over the alternatives
– Use specifics
– Needs to answer three questions
• Customers make buying decisions emotionally, then seek rationale to justify.
