The Customer Connection Expert
The Elevate Ag Customer Engagement Model
Move Beyond Talking Yields.
Curated peer groups are a prestigious model for serious organizations that need to stand out. The Elevate Ag peer group customer engagement model is a proven and effective way to deepen the existing relationships with your top customers.
The customer engagement model focuses on invitation-only participants with a 2-year, no-cost commitment to them, a dedicated support and engagement staff member in your organization, and between 4 and 6 sessions with your sales, management, and engagement team on topics relevant to your customers’ businesses.
Peer groups produce power and prestige for your brand.
My clients who create an Elevate Ag peer group with their best customers see TEN TIMES more revenue after instituting the peer group model.
No cold leads. No new pipeline.
Connect on a different level other than the sale to achieve the sale. The peer group customer engagement model:
- is unique in the agriculture and agribusiness industries
- is a specialized, curated, safe environment for dialog
- is a direct knowledge investment in the future success of your customers
Invite only the best, and you’ll receive feedback, data, opinions, and yes, increased sales, from investing in a long-term, sincere relationship. A peer group for your organization gives you an advantage your competitors can’t match. You talk with the peer groups open, honestly, and with trust built up over months of dialog.
Your customers will learn from each other and teach you about how they use your products. Best practices, pitfalls, challenges, workarounds that you didn’t know they relied on (but you can now easily fix) are shared among peers differently than during a one-on-one sales call or a sales pitch from a conference stage.
Are you the right organization to build deep and long-term business relationships with your clients and prospects?
The peer group customer engagement model requires:
- a dedicated internal employee in your organization to work with the Elevate Ag team
and - a 2-year commitment from your top clients for 4-6 meetings a year and active communication between meetings
A peer group isn’t right for every business, but every business that creates one will see revenue, relationships, and results.
