Why:
As experienced business leaders we know that there’s always a constant pressure to improve margins.
What:
We’ve developed an approach that delivers a margin increase of 1.5 – 2,5% points. We’ve seen this work
across different industries like footwear, furniture, nutrition and stoves. It is built on the premise of focusing
your efforts.
How:
The following models will at a high level outline the approach. Largely, the approach is based around
segmentation. Segmentation of Customers, Products and Services and how they interact and drive improved
performance. It’s a relatively straight forward approach that can be implemented over the course of 2-4
months (depending on size of the organization) and you’ll start to see effects quickly, with full effects kicking
in after approximately 12-18 months.

Your most important customers get the
best services, terms, conditions and
access to the most products
You reduce the services for smaller
customer – focusing on removing the
services which is less appreciated

The purpose with segmentation is:
• You want to focus your efforts for the biggest return
• That means focus on growing the customers –
whether large or small - with the largest potential
for growth
• You segment customers based on their similarities,
which makes it easier to focus on each segment’s
special needs

Why:
Your costumers do not think in channels when they shop… why should you? Today it is more important then
ever to know the touchpoints you have with your customers in order to know where you create the biggest
impact with your sales and marketing activities and investments in turning potential leads into loyal customers
What:
By mapping the often irregular paths consumers take as they move from brand awareness through to purchase
and retention we create the foundation for you to prioritize your efforts and investments between digital and
physical activities
How:
Based on 20-30 minutes interview with selected customers and people form the organization the mapping of
the customer journey will take place. Accordingly activities will be categorized as improvement needed, stop
activity or start new activity – all with a view to create the ideal interaction with your customer.

The fact is that we have more and
more touchpoints where we get a
chance to interact with our customers –
you want to identify the mix that gives
you the greatest impact.
Doing everything is too costly.
The purpose with touchpoint mapping is
• Knowing where, why and how your
customers are 1) becoming aware of your
products, 2) investigating it, 3) choosing it
and finally 4) ensuring retention
• This enables you to focus you marketing
and sales activities to provide the exact
content the customer seeks - delivered via
the media they use.

Why:
Your home market is maturing or you see great potential in expanding your business into new markets.
What:
It may sound simple, but it’s a skill like any other. Having done business in more than 80 markets, we know
what it takes to do this successfully. And we’ve seen multiple ways of how not to do it. So, let us help you not
to make the same mistakes we have.
How:
We can help you develop a plan for how to expand internationally, so that it’s done deliberately rather than in
an opportunistic way. A plan that analyses the market potential, that prioritizes which markets to go after, that
outlines your ideal market entry strategy incl. what your investment needs would be and what your P&L would
look like.
In essence, you know what your efforts will produce before you start charging into a new market.
