Best Practices in Customer Stratification
In the wholesale distribution business, you constantly have to demonstrate your value and differentiate yourself from your competition.
One thing that business leaders in this industry universally accept is that not all customers are the same. While this is understood instinctively, how do you go about determining your most profitable customers? And how do you make sure that your sales team is spending the right amount of time, with the right customers, doing the right things?
