For B2B Companies, Six Elements of Value® Matter Most in the Coronavirus Pandemic
Take the high road with customers.
- marzo 19, 2020
Crises create moments of truth in business-to-business relationships. Companies that provide other businesses with values that are higher on the Elements of Value® pyramid will exit the crisis in a better position than when it started. Focus now on being a strategic partner, demonstrating stability, going the extra mile to make your offering available and taking the high road by helping those in need. Then amplify these actions and messages over the coming weeks.
