By Are you a B2B company struggling with customer experience challenges?

When I go to customer experience conferences, B2B companies are under-represented, both in attendees and speakers. When clients look for benchmark data, B2B reports are few and far between.

Those are just a few examples of why I wanted to revisit a question I posed in a post I wrote two years ago: If you work for a B2B company, is customer experience still an important focus? In short, yes.

AICEX: UNA LETTURA PER INIZIARE BENE LA SETTIMANA 🙂

By Mark Kersteen

Is your customer acquisition (and retention) strategy based on discount pricing? How’s that working for you?

Discounts might be working well to bring customers in the door, but do they stay after they’re in? Can you keep those that you acquire? Are you creating a precedence that is not sustainable?

A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post about the phenomenon where customers buy on price but also leave on price. I answered the question, why do customers really leave?
