This journey is all about understanding customer value, he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>The entire customer centricity model actually begins with the basic question WHAT VALUE MEANS and further explaining Value to Customer and Value Of Customer \u2013 all exciting concepts that compel a change in perception and subsequent action.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with the sales pitch, Prof. Das clearly explained how the Product &amp; Delivery is actually subservient to the Customer Solution and Experience.<\/p>\n<p>In fact he emphasised that one needs to spend 90% of time identifying the customer problem and then 10% seeking solutions, as that would actually directly impact the sales process and the sales numbers. A sales person\u2019s only job is to understand your customer\u2019s anxiety \u2013 and that was the shortest one line job description for a sales profile!<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of a customer centric approach would then be felt in real time as \u2018People do business with people that they like\u2019! The introduction of RERA too was not to be seen as a negative but clearly a positive development. It would clearly make the developers \u2018likable and trustworthy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Das invited the participants in an industry which is highly unregulated  to go out and create a  standard.<\/p>\n<p>And the punchline was to change the customer centricity game as customers have infinite choices today and this is a wonderful time for the real estate industry.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to make your own success story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Day 4 of the REMI Owner Developer Program started off with a bang as the faculty from IIM \u2013Kolkata turned every participant\u2019s idea of customer centricity upside down.
