Market Driven Companies
Too many companies maintain an antiquated mentality still driven by sales, instead of changing their focus to one that is driven by marketing. Sales driven companies should drop their short-term ways of thinking like a bad habit, and start transitioning their organizations into ones that are “market driven.” Market driven companies have an approach that concentrates on concepts like total customer satisfaction, managing the customer experience, customer retention, and customer lifetime value.
