Business Challenge
Client in the building industry selling its products across commercial and multi-residential high-rise markets as well as into the new home builder markets with a myriad of sub and micro-segments within each of these segments. The client’s sales team were going with the same value proposition to all of the new home building sub-segments and getting nowhere.
In two separate sessions with the executive leadership team:
- We defined each business and what these types of businesses really valued and what they would be looking for in a supplier
- 3 out of the 4 sub-segments valued very different things even though our client company was selling the same product
- We discovered that in one of the 4 sub-segments there was only a specific micro-segment that our client was able to sell to
Results/Outcomes
- Change in how the sales and marketing teams engaged with these sub-segments
- Still having and overarching value proposition, we created specific value propositions for each sub-segment
- Redefined the different roles our client company needed to engage with within each sub-segment, bringing clarity to the issues and priorities to be addressed
