Why customer centricity is important for maritime suppliers

Customer centric companies are performing better

Customer centric companies base their strategy and decisions on a shared understanding of the before, during and after of the customer’s journey and have gained insights in what type of benefits their customers want to get from using their products and services. These customer insights result in the following benefits for the organization:

  • Better internal collaboration because there is greater customer awareness and a shared understanding of customer requirements
  • Effective use of the sales and marketing budget because their strategy, sales and marketing plans and roadmap are determined based on customer insight.
  • Winning and differentiated value propositions that are based on fact-based segments and personas.
  • Lower acquisition costs through smarter lead generation and because their business development is based on a good understanding of their customer journey
  • Sustainable business success through long-term customer relationships and increased customer loyalty

The maritime industry definitely gains from becoming more customer focused. Eventhough this sector consists of many different sub-sectors and each has its own market drivers, there is something all companies in every sub-sector have in common: they want to sustain and preferably grow business.
