Samarbejd med dine strategiske kunder, og skab forretningsmæssig værdi – for kunderne og din egen virksomhed!I vores globaliserede verden må flere og flere virksomheder skabe større indtægter fra eksisterende kunder. Men når kundernes behov samtidigt ændrer sig, må man som virksomhed transformere sig selv og det, man kan tilbyde kunderne, for at skabe større kundeværdi og dermed øge egne indtægtsmuligheder.Forfatterne giver et unikt perspektiv på den forretningsmæssige transformation og værdi, der opstår i samarbejdet mellem organisationer og deres strategiske kunder. Formålet med en virksomhedstransformation er at gøre kunderne mere konkurrencedygtige og succesrige på deres markeder. Det kræver en holdningsændring, at man som virksomhed optræder som en førende samarbejdspartner, der byder ind med værdifulde og måske endda skræddersyede forslag til forretningsændringer. Det skaber værdi for kunden – og for virksomheden selv – når man udvikler såvel egne som kundens medarbejdere og gør begge organisationer i stand til at transformere sig selv.I bogen kommer forfatterne bl.a. ind på, hvordan man:- udpeger de strategiske kunder og vurderer den fremtidige værdi af en eksisterende kunde- bevæger sig væk fra salg af eksisterende produkter og tjenester til at indgå i forretningssamarbejde med kunder og andre i sit værdinetværk- opnår kundeindsigt og skaber et fælles strategisk fokus- må tage en virksomheds entreprenørrolle og -ånd i betragtning, når man styrer en virksomhedstransformation.Forfatterne kombinerer teori med mange cases og best practice-eksempler for at illustrere, hvordan en transformationsproces kan starte. Læs f.eks. om, hvordan Apple, Shell, Philips, GE og en lang række andre virksomheder har arbejdet med transformationssalg. Bogen henvender sig til alle ledere, der vil gøre en forskel for deres forretning. Den er også relevant for konsulenter og studerende, der interesserer sig for forretningsudvikling.

?Inspired by a new, transformative era in human and business relations, this book provides a unique perspective on the business transformation that results from the collaboration between suppliers and their strategic customers. It is all about guiding organizational change and business transformation, starting with sales itself. Companies choosing this approach can make a significant and meaningful difference with strategic customers, moving beyond the competition. By challenging existing business assumptions and creating new perspectives on the marketplace, organizations can increase value across traditional company borders, making the (business) world a better place in the process. Both thought-provoking and practical, this management book integrates academic insights, real life examples and best practices of business transformation. It is a must-read for business leaders aiming to make a difference."Integrating with your strategic customers beyond a transactional sales relationship is key for shaping new markets, developing your brand, and leveraging your strategic relationships.
