How to Move Beyond Misleading Market Segmentation
Market segmentation and customer selection is one of the most important contributions of a Product team. And yet, most market segmentation is based on factors such as industry, company size or geography. In today’s complex environment, companies are finding that this level of segmentation can mislead. Consequently, salespeople chase the wrong deals, product investments are misappropriated, and marketing dollars are wasted. In this session, we will introduce a segmentation framework based on the only thing that matters which is how likely the customer is to buy. This framework is also a tool to achieve to stronger alignment between the product, marketing, and sales teams. This results in overall improved performance and greater job satisfaction for all.
