“Different Customers, Different KPIs.”
Income|Outcome helps sales teams connect their services to customer priorities.
A supply chain engineer at a global shipping company wanted the sales team to have better financial conversations with their clients. They arranged for the salespeople to attend a 1-day Income|Outcome workshop.
The next morning, the salespeople were asked to map customer solutions to the Income|Outcome game board.
Through this exercise, they gained two key insights - they saw where their services impact customer financials AND they realized that different customers have different KPIs and priorities.
For example:
- A customer focused on profitability might buy in bulk to get a discount.
- A customer focused on working capital might prefer just-in-time delivery, even at a higher price.
What Changed? The sales team learned to tailor their offerings to help clients optimize their KPIs.
What Happened Here?
Salespeople gained financial acumen: They can now discuss KPIs with their customers, understand client priorities, and offer solutions that align with financial goals.
