value or they value to gain marketplace advantages over their less knowledgeable competitors
In the world of sales, ‘Customer Value’ is a much used phrase — and rightly so, because customers buy what they perceive as being of value to them. If they have a choice, they’ll take the most valuable. This can be beyond a straightforward return on investment, as ‘Customer Value’ can capture intangible positives too — an improvement in staff morale for example. We will often be in competition with other suppliers and will need to create a greater perception of ‘Customer Value’ than our competitors.
