Goals
Lots of companies promise “solutions” to their customers. But how many provide business capabilities that deliver real value, measured in increased business and profits?
OnCenter Software, Inc. is doing precisely that. The company has been working with Bosworth & Kenney, a sales process training and consulting firm that specializes in CustomerCentric Selling® (CCS®) and has adopted integrated, customer-focused processes throughout the company.
But instead of just selling products, Buzz says that his company concentrates on helping customers apply OnCenter solutions in ways that will achieve specific, measurable goals. He credits Bosworth & Kenney, and implementation consultant Mary Murtha, with teaching his staff how to provide tangible business value-beyond products-to customers.
Capabilities Needed
Buzz stresses that OnCenter’s customer-centric approach has been implemented throughout the company, not only in the sales division. “The more we understand our customers’ challenges and goals, the more effectively we can respond to each customer’s unique needs,” he says. According to Buzz, integrating the CCS philosophy throughout the company has enhanced product training, has helped marketing fine-tune messaging and has helped the entire On Center team better understand the customer. The CCS® process has also been integrated successfully into the company’s customer relationship management system, SalesLogix, which has had a positive impact on customer service.
CustomerCentric Selling® provided OnCenter with the capabilities they needed to achieve their goals. Buzz says the CCS® approach has paid off for both OnCenter and its customers: The company’s business grew by 35% year-to-date in the next year.
