Drive client-centricity

Aligning go-to-market teams on strategies that increase client proximity

Account-based strategies are increasingly critical for success in today’s market. Our latest CBX data reveals that 49% of clients now find it more difficult to make investment decisions, up from 45% in 2022. Clients are demanding differentiated insights, greater senior attention, and support in building the case for change. 

As clients rationalize their service providers, the average number of 'trusted providers' has decreased, emphasizing the importance of strong, trust-based relationships fostered through client-centric approaches.

Furthermore, the race for client preference is intensifying. Nearly 75% of clients identify their preferred provider before the shortlist stage, yet they are evaluating more potential providers. This illustrates the critical role of proactive, client-led growth strategies in securing revenue and cultivating long-term partnerships.
