How to Achieve a Customer
Driven Organization?
Start with the People and Processes (Inside-Out)
​Marketing, Sales, Service and Partner/Alliances not aligned
Disconnected Teams:
Marketing, Service and
Sales are siloed
Disconnected Experiences:
Buyer Needs vs. Internal
Processes
Disconnected Metrics:
Goals are misaligned
.
Getting to the Next Level –
