Thursday, November 5, 2015: Win/Loss Analysis: Insight into the Minds of B2B Customers/Prospects with Shelly Azar
Meeting Information
Meetings are open to everyone — there is no charge to attend. This will be held at The Venture Cafe Gathering at CIC from 7-7:45pm — see directions and details below.
About the meeting: How do you get into the mind of B2B customers and prospects to find out what they really think and desire? B2B companies are typically a lot less vocal on social media and you might not be able to observe their behavior … so how do you learn about them? If you’re looking for strategic and tactical insights from your B2B customers and prospects — how they make decisions, what they value, where they’re headed, how they identify vendors, what they think of your offerings and what they think of competitors — the best (and perhaps only) way to get this information is through in-depth interviews in a process called win/loss analysis. After a brief overview of the win/loss analysis process and examples of some findings, we will have time for Q&A, discussion of best practices, etc.
About the Presenter: Shelly Azar, principal of Insight Researchers, has been working in the field of market intelligence, helping clients make better strategic and tactical decisions, since 1996. Her experience both as a corporate practitioner and as a consultant has been with companies large and small, public and private, in the US and abroad … and in a variety of industries.
