Continued shifts in consumer behaviors and the workforce after the height of the pandemic are calling for your digital operations to play a more significant role in securing and strengthening revenue through the economic challenges anticipated in 2023.
How did a nationwide commercial real estate company specializing in triple-net lease investments increase gross revenue from $880,000 to $4,482,000 –– a 5x increase –– in four years?

In my experience, companies that don’t know who they are culturally, what they want from their people, or know why they’re having problems with unmet goals, will come up with a lot of reasons to be displeased with what they have. You may be saying to yourself, “Business owners and managers always know what they want – they want to sell their products or services.” Or more specifically, they want to sell more of their products and services. But at what expense?

"It depends" is one of the most frustrating answers to a question. What does it cost? It depends. How long will it take? It depends. Are you available? It depends. It feels like a non-answer. A cop-out. A skirting of commitment. Avoidance. But other times, “it depends” is very real. It is a conditional answer. For example, a price can be quantity dependent or tiered for the level of support needed. Delivery times can also be dependent on when a service is needed (is it an emergency?), location, and backorders.
On a scale of 1-10, how much does your company value customer advocacy? To tell you the truth, viewing customer advocacy as anything less than a 10 (major business priority) means that your company is likely missing out on opportunities to reduce customer acquisition cost, boost brand awareness, and increase revenue.
