The 3 Dimensions of Customer Value Creation with NPS Co-Inventor, Rob Markey, Part 1 of 2

The Three Dimensions of Customer Value Creation

Rob Markey ought to know a thing or two about customer loyalty. 

Rob was a CX expert and thought leader at Bain long before he and his colleague Fred Reichheld introduced Net Promoter to the world. 

He is a leader in Bain's Customer Customer Strategy and Marketing practice and the co-author of The Ultimate Question 2.0 with Fred Reichheld.

This episode was originally intended as a deep dive on customer loyalty through the customer lifecycle for my Michigan State University Master's students but it was just too good to not share in an episode.  

As usual, Rob brings insights and wisdom to empower anyone interested in creating value for their customers starting with the three dimensions of value according Bain uses in their approach with clients. 

Also included in this episode:

👉  The 3 dimensions of value

👉  Examples of differentiating from competitors through unique features and exceptional customer service

👉  How different dimensions of value are weighed differently at various customer lifecycle stages

👉  Focusing on revenue and cost forecasting in a language understood by stakeholders

👉  Copying versus learning and synthesizing from others

👉  Warning against going down a technology or data-led path without clear goals

👉  Empirical evidence on NPS as a predictor of a company's growth rate

and a whole lot more, so much so that we had to break it into two episodes.
