About

The Value Funnel

The Value Funnel is a customer-centric strategic marketing approach that channels value from conception to delivery.

The 5 steps of the Value Funnel help organizations to gather deep customer insights and convert these into strong value propositions. The Value Funnel develops impactful external messaging as well as internal sales training mirroring the customer journey. Last but not least, the Value Funnel adopts value-based pricing techniques to optimize value sharing between the customer and the organization.

The Value Funnel helps to break down internal silos that hamper value delivery. Innovation, Marketing, Sales and Finance collaborate together within one united value process. 

Approach

How we operate

After an initial consultation to explore your Value Funnel, a personalized project approach will be designed to address your challenges.

The approach can span from a motivational keynote intervention, and hands-on coaching on a given project to full-blown corporate marketing training.

Execution of the project will be a mix of virtual and face to face meetings in order to meet the milestones with the least disruptions.

Value Comprehension

We can help data mine existing sources of customer insights as well as conducting in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. The output will be designed Customer Personas that not only capture the essence of the customer but also an understanding of their buyer experience.

Value Creation

We can assist in creating relevant and compelling value propositions that go beyond product features to englobe the unique customer experience as well. The output will be a clear statement of a differentiated big idea supported by clear value drivers.

Value Communication

Increase the impact of your messaging by incorporating the fundamental principles of neuroscience. Translate the intangible value drivers into emotional anchors. In a B2B context, we recommend the additional step of quantifying the tangible value drivers.

Value Conviction

Enhance the effectiveness of value selling within your sales teams. Deliver solution training within a customer-centric model that mirrors the customers’ buying journey.

Value Capture

Make sure that you cross the finish line by capturing the value. We can support in setting up a value-based pricing approach. Create your value formulas as well as validate your price points with our partnership with PriceBeam, the most cost-effective approach to price research.

About

Christian Löfberg

I’m passionate about strategy and marketing.
Since the beginning of my career, I have been convinced that the role of business is to create value. Both for the customer and society but also for the company.
What is amazing though is that a lot of companies focus on value creation independently in silos. The finance team might be looking at price moves. The communication department at new messages and campaigns. The marketing teams at the value propositions. And the R&D at developing new products and services. Leaving the sales team to figure how how to approach their customers!

All these activities should be interlinked and flow seamlessly from one to another. This is the concept of the Value Funnel that I have developed. A structured process that guides various teams through the 5 Value Funnel stages. Minimizing value leaks to ultimately improve customer loyalty and create sustainable margins.

And in my spare time? Still more marketing- helping small business owners and solopreneurs to infuse strategic thinking to grow their business!

Who

Our Clients

With a particular focus on the animal health and nutrition space, we have assisted numerous clients with various elements of the Value Funnel strategic marketing framework over the last few years.

My challenge was to guide the company through a transformation of our marketing activities, to become more customer-centric in our messages and strategies approaches.

We hired Christian Lofberg as a consultant. He proposed that we apply the principles and practices of the Value Funnel to our marketing strategies and messages.

And the results were that we have now complete sets of value propositions, messages, value drivers, clear understanding of customer needs.

We are delighted with this whole exercise. Our product managers embraced the Value Funnel. They were very enthusiastic when they learned how they could interview customers, gather insights, and transform those insights into very well defined value propositions.

So I can say that not only I but the whole company is delighted with the results of applying the Value Funnel to our practice.
