We're delighted to announce the launch of the TRUE NORTH© Virtual Learning Academy - a learning journey across 6 modules to help you, your team, and your organization build strategic partnerships, and win better, retain better business.
You’ve probably heard of the Pareto principle developed in the early 1900’s ,it’s also known as the “80/20” rule. Pareto’s rule suggests that 80% of your profit is generated from 20% of your sales. Does this apply to your business?
Have you ever noticed that 80% of your company’s service resources are devoted to 20% of your clients? Are these among the most profitable clients or the least profitable?
Are they the ones that complain the most and ask for the most from you? If you answered yes, reflect on why this phenomenon exists for a moment. Ask yourself, what put this relationship in this position, and has it always been this way? What can be done about it?
Sales growth and client retention are key success factors for any business. Every business leader wants to have loyal customers that stay with them for a lifetime – customers that are more than just clients but strategic partners. If you have done business in a traditional transactional relationship, with often hidden agendas, competitive bids, and continuous price pressures, this probably resonates with you.
Strategic partnership success is both an art and a science. From choosing which markets are the best for your business model; to which prospects in that market are the best for your company’s purpose; to how to engage them; to laying a partnership foundation - the principles and methodologies of TRUE NORTH© enable you to do this.
TRUE NORTH© is designed with one purpose in mind - to help you win better, and retain better business.
The methodology, principles and learning sessions have been developed in such a way that they are not just a training or teaching administrative activity. Rather to develop new thinking and change behaviors that translate into real business impact.
TRUE NORTH© is your roadmap to building the right kinds of business relationships, with your ideal clients and creating the best outcomes for both your client and for your organization. The program lays down the foundational learnings for your team - from building mutual trust to deep self-reflection of both strengths and opportunities, to the practical steps to retaining better and winning better business.
