“We work with successful leaders who believe

Your business can create MUCH MORE value for customers.

And your customers can create MUCH MORE growth for the business.

We know more about this than anyone.

What do we mean that “Customers can create MUCH MORE growth for the business”?

Customers could be CRUSHING
your critical growth objectives
Like Go-To-Market, Retention, Acquisition, etc:

Go to Market oneplus

OnePlus's customer community co-created and evangelized OnePlus’s first phone. Result: 1st yr revenue of $330M, with minimal marketing spend.

Retention sas

SAS Canada's "Customer Champions" fully restored seriously declining retention rates from mid- to low-80% to mid-90s—no marketing needed.

Acquisition Salesforce

Early Salesforce customers "closed" 80% of prospects at live events, simply by talking to them—no sales pitch required.

Costs Microsoft

Microsoft’s "MVP" customers cut support costs by $100s M—and improved support satisfaction scores.

Market Share Zoom

In its first 2 years, Zoom spent $0 on marketing. Instead CEO Eric Yuan built a foundation of natural customer advocates. Today, Zoom’s market share exceeds all competitors combined.

Branding Zoom

In its first 2 years, Zoom spent $0 on marketing. Instead CEO Eric Yuan built a foundation of natural customer advocates. Today, Zoom’s market share exceeds all competitors combined.

What keeps your customers from making dramatic impacts on critical growth objectives?

X Your organization lacks caring, personal bonds with customers.

X Leadership expects Marketing, Sales, Product teams, Customer Success to meet growth objectives. But customers-at-risk would rather hear from other customers like them.


In other words

You’re Fighting Human Nature

Why wait? The customer base of a viable firm has 30% or more promoters or loyal customers.

Instead of focusing on detractors, why not connect the promoters who already love you into critical  growth challenges?

The CEO’s best leverage point is to build emotional bonds with customers and employees.

That requires a purpose that’s about improving customers lives in some significant way–and then living it.

That’s the foundation for realizing immense customer value.

Your customer-impacting employees should see the bigger picture of:
Living the purpose of the business.

Engaging and connecting your best customers to meet and crush strategic objectives.

Rather than subordinate great customers to traditional marketing and sales motions.

Bill gets to the essentials of an issue very quickly. His knowledge in particular of customer engagement is as good as it gets. I highly recommend his consulting services.

I’m willing to bet that most companies don’t know who their ‘rock star’ customers are, and are missing a big piece of their future revenue engine as a result. This much-needed book shows how to capture that missing piece.”
