A customer-centric strategy is about more than just a values statement or a directive to the team. Are your customers truly at the center of your business universe? A customer-centric culture is one that is relentlessly focused on putting what’s best for the customer at the core of everything you do. Culture isn’t just about one function or department or role.

Author: Christian Kruse Deciding to expand a new business is pretty obvious and straightforward. After all, a new business has to expand from being an ambitious business plan to getting the first office space to acquiring the needed IT infrastructure, to hiring skilled labor, and to expand its market reach. All these expansions are nothing more than the needed threshold for getting a business off the ground, so there aren’t too many considerations to worry about.

By Tibor Shanto. Selling solutions is a great approach, but there is a key prerequisite for it to work. Buyers need to actually have or feel they have the problem purported to be solved. But if they don’t see the problem, they won’t need the solution. This is why you find sellers selling more problems than solutions. Ask yourself what you are selling more, the problem or the solution?

A dramatic shift has occurred in the B2B landscape. Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge. For SaaS companies relying on traditional sales strategies to grow revenue, these trends will only become worse, as they now falter in the face of modern purchasing paradigms.

By Tibor Shanto. There is no doubt that VALUE is central to sales success. Buyers are looking to maximize value, vendors are focused on delivering value, value, value. Yet, most sellers do not have a clear and – actionable definition for value. This has held back the quality of conversation and may explain why some sales take as long as they do. Unlike roses, it’s not just value, by any other name.

When your computer isn't functioning the way you expect you may notice how sluggish and unresponsive it is - a symptom of the real problem - so you need to look more closely. I'm on a Mac so I open up the activity monitor to determine if a program or programs are using too much memory or utilizing too much CPU. If that's the case, I force quit those programs and if that doesn't work, I restart the device.
