Customers and Investors

In my latest training session yesterday which I did this at Dubai Media City, one slide really stood out for the participants. It was on optimising the power of the customer experience cycle to make your business attractive to investors – from acquisition to retention, service, and finally, customers becoming promoters.

20 Seconds that Changes Their Lives

Case Study Alert & An Exclusive Invitation!

Ever heard the saying, “Sometimes you have to go back to move forward”? Well, I’ve got a story that turns that saying into a breathtaking reality.

The Challenge: In the throes of a pandemic-hit world, a B2B business found themselves grappling with a staggering 70% loss in corporate clients. Their pivot to B2C seemed like a lifeline, but instead, they encountered a fierce battlefield: towering competitors, a market saturated with superior offerings, and the daunting task of redefining their identity.

The Turning Point: Enter our Business Growth and Scaling Exercise. Within 20 minutes, we didn’t just light a spark; we reignited their enthusiasm to return to their B2B roots.

The Outcome: Fast forward 18 months, and the results are nothing short of spectacular:

Profits skyrocketed by 8x

Company value soared by 5x

A lucrative 7-figure offer turned down because… why settle when you’re growing at a 30% clip?

Not only did they win back their pre-COVID clients, but they also expanded their B2B segment and introduced higher-margin products, all thanks to listening to their customers.

And now, it’s your turn!

In Dubai? Join us this Friday, 8 March, from 6-9 PM at Voco Hotel’s The Deck Restaurant on the Palm for our Profit and Dine Mastermind. We’ll dive into this Business Scale and Growth Exercise, among other actionable insights. All without breaking the bank.
