Do These Sound Familiar?

"High returns and complaints"

Wrong products going to wrong customers. High return rates. Customer dissatisfaction.

"Unprofitable accounts"

Some customers cost more to serve than they generate. But no one knows which ones.

"Sales chases anyone"

No clear ideal customer profile. Team wastes time on bad-fit prospects.

"Margins vary wildly"

Some accounts are highly profitable, others are margin-negative. No systematic approach.

What's Really Happening

You have no clear customer segments or ideal customer profile. Your team is selling the wrong products to the wrong customers because there's no systematic way to match offerings to customer needs.

This creates three problems:

  • Margin Erosion: Bad-fit customers require more support and generate less profit
  • Wasted Effort: Sales team spends time on prospects who will never be profitable
  • Missed Opportunities: Best-fit customers don't get the attention they deserve
