The First Step on the Journey to Customer Centricity
Peter Fader, Bruce Hardie, and Michael Ross

In The Customer-Base Audit, the authors present five “lenses” through which an executive can address questions like:

  • How healthy is your customer base? How realistic are your growth objectives?
  • How do your customers differ in terms of their behavior and value?
  • How has the quality of your customers changed over time?
  • What changes in customer behavior lie behind period-to-period changes in firm performance?
  • What is important to your high-value customers? Which products help you acquire and retain your best customers?

Start on the path toward really understanding your customers’ buying behavior as well as the health of your overall customer base.
