Question 2: Why is it important to use “customer worth” rather than the observed levels of play?
Answer:
The customer worth system that has been introduced by the senior management of the organization in the business culture and operations in far more efficient and effective than the historically applied and developed systems for operations by the management of the organization.
This has allowed the management of the company to positively supplement the aggressive approach towards competing in the industry with the competitors of the organization in the markets the business operates.
The newly developed and adopted system facilitates the management of the company in comprehensively estimating and projecting the customer trends and behavior in contrast to the historical systems and approaches pursued and used by the management of the company.
The systems adopted by the management of the company allow the organization to analyze the customers and the target market segment through the customer worth rather than his past behavior and trends which have been adopted and applied in the previous systems and this resulted in an inefficiency of the management of the company to accurately understand and predict the customer trends through the systems.
The failure of the management of the company to accurately and comprehensively predict the customer worth in the past resulted in many inefficiencies for the business that caused immensely for the organization in terms of adopting approaches and policies that would have allowed the organization to aggressively target the potential customers in the markets by understanding their needs and aspirations...........
