Terry Hogan from Compas - business planning beyond Excel knows how important it is to have an accurate forecast, that also needs to be responsive. "Nothing can forecast a global pandemic or natural disaster, or even the appearance of a new product or disruptive competitor that upends your marketplace. A good planning system needs the following: 🙋♀️ Rich data - ideally several years of historical data from which to build models 💁♀️ Good algorithms - sophisticated forecasting techniques that are robust and accurate 💁♀️ Responsive approach - driver-based forecasts that respond to changes in the environment 💁♀️ Broad scope - extending to most parts of the business Although there are many ways to implement these elements, a good planning tool should incorporate them all, and ensure that forecasts are consistent across the organisation." Learn about planning and meet Terry and his team at our next financeSHOWCASE, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, 19th November.

"Businesses lose customers not because of price, or product, but because customers don't feel valued by the business." Reports state that nearly 70% of senior leaders view the role of customer service to drive loyalty is more important than it was years ago. But how can you improve customer retention? 💜 Validate customer purchase decisions. Reassure the customer that their purchase decision was a smart one. 💜 Anticipate customer needs. Predict what features your customer may find valuable in the future based on their current needs. 💜 Help customers achieve a goal. Outline the product features a customer should use based on their goal for partnering with you. 💜 Educate customers on better uses. Rather than focusing on how customers have been using the product incorrectly, teach them how best to use it. 💜 Advise customers on new uses. Introduce the customer to newly introduced or untapped product features. #financeSHOWCASE #customerservice #customerretention #productfeatures
