[4:37] Turning Real Customer Stories Into Your Strongest GTM Asset "Real and honest reference stories from customers are more important than the knowledge of your own sales staff. We need a continuous, deep, and trusted relationship with our customer." Peter Dibbern
[4:40] Listening to Customers Is Your Competitive Advantage Now, customers and sellers are looking into each other's eyes, and we have to create solutions together in a dialogue. We have to respect the customer in a totally different way, not only for their process knowledge. Customers might even be smarter with respect to the technology than you are as a provider. Peter Dibbern
[5:13] Closing the Trust Gap With Real Customer Proof The customer who talks about real experience is more trustworthy than any shiny success story. Peter Dibbern
[2:52] How SaaS Success Depends on Lifetime Customer Loyalty Software as a service means that we have to fight for the customer in every stage along the customer lifetime circle. The idea is to never lose that contact to the customer anymore. Peter Dibbern
Love at first sight means you can never make a first impression twice. Once you get in contact with your customer, you have to make a good impression, and the best impression is to create the feeling of love at first sight. Peter Dibbern [3:15] Creating Customer Experiences That Feel Like First-Sight Love
[1:42] Respect Your Customer and Transform Your Entire GTM Respect the customer because they are the ones that pay your bills, and on the other hand, those will be the best sellers of your product for future prospects. Peter Dibbern
