Customers have changed – they want usership, not ownership.

To embrace the change, companies adapt the way they sell their products and services. They design business models focused around keeping customers engaged in long-term relationships - think Netflix, HelloFresh, or Xerox.

Subscription Action Plan™

We start off with an explorative phase. We analyse and understand your market and customers (hidden needs, segmentation, surveys, ...), and size the subscription market opportunity.

We then define your subscription offering (value proposition, packages, customer engagement model, customer journey, pricing, contracts, digital requirements, ...).

We then make sure your internal organisation is subscription-ready (processes, new roles, financing structure, sales strategy, IT requirements, logistics, ...).

Finally, we guide you on the launch and growth of your subscription business (FAQs, KPI-dashboard, data analytics, expansion and renewals, finetuning, ...).
