CVET LLC Rolls Out Latest Version of the Customer Value Expert Toolset
CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) December 03, 2015 -- CVET LLC announces the latest release of the Customer Value Expert Toolset®. Better known as CVET® (pronounced “see-vet”), this cloud-based software application guides businesses through a proven, best practice method to:
• Quantify the value of their products and services
• Generate sales tools to prove their superior value to target customers
According to the American Society of Training and Development, U.S. companies spend over $20 billion on sales training, despite estimates that over 80% of that training content is lost within 90 days. In response, companies are spending $135,000 per sales rep per year on sales support including people, process, and technology according to Gartner. Yet, many companies are not getting a good return on these investments.
“Our research revealed that most companies are not using their customer value in the most effective way with customers,” says co-founder Dr. James C. Anderson of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. “As a result they offer price concessions when the customer is not really asking for one. CVET provides the process and the tools to improve the return on your customer value.”
The new version of CVET enables users to more easily leverage existing customer value knowledge and more effectively align sales tools with how the customer wants to buy. “For strategic and differentiated buys, customers want a rigorous value analysis in support of the purchase decision,” says co-founder Eric Berggren. “For less strategic and less differentiated buys, customers want a simpler justification using value that is more self-evident.”
CVET users can now re-apply successful customer value analysis with just a few clicks and their sales team can use “justifiers” when a comprehensive value analysis is not possible or not wanted by the customer. More specifically, the top functional enhancements enable the user to:
• Import past customer value research into new research and continue to get updates when the original research has been improved
• Tag data for searching within CVET and for analysis in customer relationship management (CRM) or other applications
• Generate value estimates in over 70 currencies
• Upload supporting documentation for the sales force to use as justifications across a wider variety of selling situations
In his book, Value Merchants, Dr. Anderson demonstrated how companies that quantify and prove their value to customers significantly outperform their competition. These companies have higher sales win rates and profitability for each sale. CVET brings best practice in customer value management within reach of any organization.
