What are AI CXO Services?

AI CXO (Chief Experience Officer) Services refers to a type of business service that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies to help companies improve the customer experience (CX). The role of an AI CXO is to use the data that the company collects from its customers and analyze it using AI algorithms to understand customer behavior and preferences, and then use that knowledge to make improvements to the company’s products, services, and overall customer experience. This can include things like personalizing marketing campaigns, automating customer service, and improving website design and navigation, among other things. The goal of AI CXO services is to help companies create a more seamless and personalized experience for their customers, which can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The value of CXO services, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), cannot be understated in today’s business landscape. As competition increases and customer expectations evolve, companies are turning to CXO services to gain a competitive edge and improve the overall customer experience (CX).

One of the key areas where CXO services provide value is in customer data analysis. AI-powered systems can analyze large data sets, such as customer interactions, purchase history, and demographic information, to gain insight into customer behavior and preferences.

AI-powered chatbots, for example, can handle routine customer inquiries, freeing up human customer service representatives to focus on more complex issues.

For example, an AI-powered system can analyze resumes and job applications in the recruitment process, and an AI-powered system can track and analyze employee behavior, such as email, chat, and calendar data, to identify patterns and trends in employee engagement and performance management.

The benefits of CXO services extend beyond just improving customer experience and can also help businesses grow.

Manufacturing Business Growth Strategy

By Team Acumentica

Manufacturing businesses today are facing a plethora of constraints locally and globally, and a business needs to adapt and be resilient to the various focuses affecting them. From supply and demand, logistics, pricing, to various micro and  macro-economic indicators  impacting them, businesses needs to develop and execute an agile strategy.

This article describes outlines how a manufacturing company needs to look at developing a value-driven strategy.

Strategy involves gaining continuous insights on the external market, creating innovative alternatives, developing a business design and ensuring the executability of that design by orchestrating and developing the organization’s capabilities. It is not principally about creating a document or following a planning calendar, although both play a role.

What is a good Manufacturing strategy? How can I ensure my strategy delivers business results? 

A manufacturing strategy has never been more important. A good MFG strategy targets high value customers, ensures your offerings are distinctive, positions you for strategic control and secures future profits. Weak strategies fail to take stock of the changing landscape and rely on tired or unproven business designs that typically result in poor market performance. A good MFG strategy looks carefully at the organization’s capabilities and ensures that critical tasks are assigned and appropriate measurements in place. This strategy should ensure that critical skills are in place and that the organization’s culture supports outstanding performance on the critical work of the business. Weak strategies ignore organizational capabilities and blame resulting shortfalls on execution.

How good is your business strategy today? Do you want to get better? 

A manufacturing strategy is not about a document. Strategy is about action. Whether good or bad, strategy shows itself in the everyday actions of the business. It is reflected in the quality of the dialogs we hold, the decisions we make and the actions we take. A structured assessment of those activities can tell us how good we are at strategy, and how we can get better. Developing effective strategy involves a range of skills that can be developed and practiced.

Manufacturing organizations are a complex entity.  All the parts and their connections need to work well together. Superficial diagnoses of organization issues are the enemy of senior management. They can lead to a loss of credibility and sap valuable energy from employees. We take care and avoid the temptation to go for the silver bullet. We emphasize the attunement of cultures that enables people to be committed entrepreneurs for their company with processes that provide discipline and measure results.

Developing and executing a winning manufacturing corporate strategy isn’t easy even in the best of times. As aforementioned above, there are so many factors of uncertainty like business, global, economic and political to name a few that challenges companies today.

To succeed in today’s climate,  a manufacturing company must:

  • Understand and leverage the intersection of people, process and systems  with customer requirements and business design to drive measurable results
  • Identify and focus on your most profitable customer segments to understand and meet their needs
  • Better leverage technology to increase your return on business investments
  • Align the business and Supply Chain organizations via shared metrics and ownership
  • Become an adaptive organization with the flexibility to adjust to market changes and seize new opportunities.
  • Cultivate and reward executional expertise to achieve competitive advantage in the near and long-term

Strategy cannot be predetermined despite a companies true intentions. True strategy helps  transform an enterprise and operations by:

  • Framing industry opportunities and challenges into specific strategic options
  • Formulating actionable strategies that intersect business, process and technology; and
  • Accelerating implementation through tailored operations and change programs.

Your needs may fall into one or more categories below.

  • Streamlining Costs: Determining how to cut costs that have built up over the past 10 years of economic growth to improve financial performance and fund new initiatives.
  • Timing of Investments: When to move forward in this climate determining the rate and timing of investments.
  • Enhancing Productivity: Maximizing returns on past and future investments in technology, processes, and people.
  • Growing Revenues: Determining how to grow the business in a stagnant and uncertain economy and in a marketplace where “customers pick you.”
  • Investing for Future: Building flexible organizations and capabilities that can compete successfully in a future that requires us to constantly adapt.
  • Linking Strategy to Execution: Determining how to ensure that strategies can be implemented, and that implementations achieve what the set out to accomplish.

In summary, strategy is not about a document but actions that requires the right skills to execute in order to yield optimal results.

Transform Your Website Into A Sales Generating System

Your website should viewed as one be one of your distinct sales tools or system within your company.  This is where every explorer, lead and customer visits to learn about your business and its offerings. It’s indicative of your brand. It’s a place they go to make informed purchasing decisions. Rightfully so, it’s an area that requires focused attention that doesn’t get equal weight compared to other sales driven tools.

Your website requires to be built the right way and we often see businesses fall short of this. Your website should NOT only be a great looking and aesthetically pleasing site- though this is very important. It’s about it being one of your sales generating tools to attract the right foot traffic, and convert those leads into customers to grow sales.

If you are not looking at your website as a sales generating system and if it’s not making your business money, then you are missing on potential opportunities that drives sales growth.

So, what must a business do to achieve this.  We have recommended a framework of actionable steps, that if executed in a systematic function, will help transform your website into a sales generating system.

  1. Website Assessment

If you have a website already, conduct an website assessment to first understand your current state and where you are on a web rating scale. Understand the health of your website in real-time and fix the website issues based on the recommendations provided. It’s pointless to make changes when you don’t understand the issues first.

  1. Develop Website Strategic Roadmap

Once you have to have gotten the above results, develop a strategic Website roadmap on what you are going to enhance on your website that increases value. All changes made should be measured and tracked at all times.

  1. Company Positioning

We are assuming your company’s ‘Positioning’ is good which is indicative of your positive marketing and sales results. If this is not the case, then focus must be given to reassessing your position. Once this is done, you can embed the right curated content in your website.

Since your website is your sales tool, your users must understand what you do and why you are different. They must understand the qualitative and quantitative value you bring.  If this is clear, this will translate into more sales. Your site should contain content that depicts your company’s unique attributes and capabilities compared to your competitors.

  1. Advanced UX Design

Equal importance must be given to the design of your website. It’s look and feel, and user responsiveness is very important. Make sure that your website is simple but appealing at the same time. Get input from family, friends, employee and peers. Remember it’s not what you think of your website but what what others think of it. This will be your litmus test.

  1. Optimal SEO

Search Engine Optimization is one of pertinent disciplines to increase website traffic. Make sure you have optimal dynamic search keywords (which is changing) to increase your page rank organically without paid ads. This will then result in increasing conversion rates and sales.

  1. Enriched Marketing Content

The other important aspect of increasing your online visibility is making sure you have the right marketing content that pulls the right searchers who want to purchase your products and services.

  1. Web Data Analysis

In all that you do always collect, process, and analyze your web data to get actionable insights and make smart data-driven decisions.

  1. Website Analytics

Keep track of website traffic and convert those leads into customers. Track and Monitor changes for continuous improvement.

In summary, it’s important to point out that this is not a one-time process. It takes time for your site to be recognized and recommended by the big tech search companies. However, it’s very important to develop and deploy a website the right way. This is a continuous  improvement and equal oversight must be given to your web presence like others operational functions in a business. Be different from your competitors, look at your website as your sales generating system, make the right investments, and measure your Return Of Investment (ROI).

The Critical Role Of Positioning In Marketing and Sales?

Introduction

Before diving into how Positioning impacts your marketing and sales, a business must understand what Positioning is. With over 21+ years of transforming businesses, “positioning” is one aspect that I see almost all companies need to reassess and focus on. Business owners, CEOs, and sales and marketing executives think their Positioning can be done without refocusing. However, a business should rethink its Positioning based on negative customer feedback, low-win bid rates, lost opportunities, and poor customer perception. Remember, it’s not what we think of our company, products, and services but what your ideal customers and prospects think.

What is Good Positioning?

Simply, a company’s product/service positioning is about providing customer-centric value that best-fits customers who love and want more.

Positioning impacts many aspects of a business. It affects how you market and sell products, directly affecting revenue and ROI. It determines how customers perceive a business. It affects what you build and what is offered to customers. It impacts marketing and sales costs. From an operations perspective, Positioning affects a business’s COGS (Cost Of Goods Sold) and SG&A (Selling, General And Administrative ) costs. Furthermore, good Positioning increases employee productivity from a people and culture perspective.

 When it’s mapped out, the value of Positioning impacts nearly every financial measure of a business, particularly profit margins. In short, good Positioning impacts the health of a company. Based on our research and experience, companies must take the time to reassess their Positioning if they are facing marketing and sales challenges.

How to implement Good Positioning?

A business can develop and implement good Positioning by;

  • Understanding clearly your best-fit customers’ personas and characteristics.
  • Know your unique attributes and capabilities.
  • Know the value and benefits of your product/services quantitatively and qualitatively.
  • Understand your Competitors.
  • Develop value-based context.

Utilizing positioning tools and techniques together with having discussions with the right team members in your company, a business can achieve good Positioning.

By executing the above strategically, a business will get continuous insights into the external market, create innovative alternatives, develop a business design and ensure the executability of that design by orchestrating and developing the organization’s capabilities. It is not principally about creating a positioning statement or document, although both play a role.

How can I ensure my Positioning Increases sales?

If a business’s Positioning is good, they will notice an increase in their prospecting rates, sales closure rates, and sales growth. Their Top-Line growth will increase. Furthermore, they will notice a reduction in their sales and marketing costs, that is if your your tracking them (which is very important to do). Moreover, pay close attention to the variances in a company’s profit margins with good Positioning. If executed right, monitoring and tracking their positioning change, they will increase the overall health of your company.

How good is your Positioning today? Do you want to get better? 

A structured positioning assessment will clearly help you understand where you currently are and what need you to better position your business.

There is an adage “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting a different result”. If you are stuck or challenged, make the correct change. Wrong Positioning may be a blind spot and pain point that you might need to mitigate.

Do you think you have a positioning problem? Acumentica can help by:

  • Performing a Positioning assessment of your business through analysis and team-based interviews.
  • Utilizing our fact-based positioning tools, processes, and methodologies.
  • Executing the inferences from the assessment to reach a good positioning state.
  • Tracking and monitoring a company’s positioning strategy.

The Customer Really Does Rule

Among the business lessons and rules learned over the years is that the customer really does rule. This was learned in the context of understanding that there are a finite number of sources of actual, hard cash for a business. Among the alternatives are:

•  Borrowing it (in the form of debt or equity or venture capital)

•  Selling assets (if you have them to sell) or

•  Getting it in the form of revenue from customers

Among the three, it makes sense that if one could choose, they would choose revenue from customers. Debt, equity, and venture capital, in the beginning start up phases, are fine. Unfortunately each has continuing costs associated with it. Continued borrowing over time can become onerous and eventually lead to a company’s demise. Selling assets is fine until the assets run out. But over time, revenue is the sustainable source of cash that is the reward that the customer bestows upon a company for its excellence and the value of its offerings. There is nothing onerous in reasonably “growing the top line” on a continuing basis.

Now customers have numerous choices as to where they send their money and who they reward, i.e. they have alternative choices called “the competition”. A competitor, by definition, is “the customer’s alternative choice”. There are direct competitors (those that are very much alike in appearance), indirect competitors (those that do not look alike but serve the same customer need), DIY (do it yourself) alternatives and in some instances, doing nothing is an alternative choice for the customer.

So how does a business capture the customer reward?

Since the goal is to have the customer send you the money, and lots of it, the first step in maximizing cash from revenue is to find a group of customers that can be served in a meaningful and sustainable, economic fashion. This is called “target market selection”. One of the first major strategic decisionsthat any company makes is deciding what market it will serve. Since it can’t be all things to all people, it must be something meaningful to some group. In nature there is a saying “no species can live everywhere, but each species must live somewhere”. Translated into the business world, this means find a specific, relevant target market that is compatible to your business strengths. Focus on that market. Don’t spend a lot of time considering irrelevant markets; a waste of resources.

Once that target market has been selected, the second major strategic decision that a company must make is deciding what will be its basis for a sustainable competitive advantage. There will usually be alternative choices for the customer’ money in the target market; called competition. And in order to maximize the revenue stream from the customer, one must have a unique and distinctive advantage over those alternative choices. Lower cost, unique features, superb service, distinctive positioning, are a few of the alternatives for establishing a competitive advantage. Whatever one selects, be sure it is sustainable and affordable.

Well, having selected a target market and established a basis for competitive advantage, the next step is to set revenue goals and operational tracking measures that will be the predictors and evidence of the wisdom of the strategic decisions. Another lesson or rule is that one should always be number one in market share within the relevant target market, or at least a close number two. The customer’s response in revenue terms is what drives market position. The more they like and value what you are doing, the more revenue they will send you. Market leadership reflects the relevance of the market selected the strength of the offer’s unique and distinctive advantage and the value seen by the customer. Conversely a weak market position indicates the weakness of the strategic decisions and, of course, less revenue.

As noted above, operationally, the relative value of the offer as seen by the customer, in comparison to their alternative choices, is an accurate leading indicator of what their actual in market performance will be. Value can be determined by:

•  Ranking and valuing the offer’s features in terms of their importance

•  Rating one competitor Vs another on the features, and

•  Rating each competitor Vs the other in terms of its perceived value (CVA score)

All these measures aid in predicting what the customer will do. Since customers usually behave in relationship to the value they perceive, the highest value score for a competitor will lead to the highest revenue stream to that competitor.

There is another aspect to being the market leader and that is the competitor with the highest market share (by virtue of selling the most volume) is usually the low cost producer within the selected market segment; or they should be. Through scale and experience effects, market leaders should have the lowest costs. Combined with the greatest revenue, this makes the market leader the competitor with the highest margins and returns, i.e. the financial leader. Not a bad combination.

In the long run, some companies seem to continually outperform the others in terms of market position, margins, returns, and creating shareholder value. Others do not, lagging behind in market share and financial performance. Since the marketplace is neutral to everyone, why do some companies do better than others? Winning companies have a winning strategy as it relates to target market selection, unique and distinctive offers, cost control and investing scarce cash resources. Winning companies become number one with their customers in their respective markets. And they understand the value of being the low cost producer. But most importantly, they recognize the value of the customer who is the final arbiter of their success. WHAT’S IN YOUR WALLET?

“Enjoy the value it brings it you”
