3. Scrutinise your existing customer base and identify both financial risks and commercial opportunities.

A balanced customer portfolio is an important foundation for any company, in terms of number of customers, achieved turnover and market penetration. These are also crucial indicators to take into account with your commercial strategy. Even if all the segments in your customer pyramid look good in terms of figures, a latent risk can encumber certain layers and even the foundation profoundly.

 

This is how certain customers’ financial health potentially deteriorates, especially in these uncertain times. If that involves one customer, you might not be concerned; unless they are at the top of your pyramid. Soon it becomes a different kettle of fish once multiple issues arise, all the more if you can see a pattern, based in their profile (such as activity, region, age and size).
