      How we can help

      Customer Insights & Segmentation

      We help you deepen your relationships with your most loyal, profitable customers, by applying superior segmentation capabilities based on advanced analytics. You'll serve existing customers better and win new ones.

      Bain Partner Tom Springer explains how companies can achieve customer intimacy at scale and transmit essential information about customers to frontline employees.

      What to Expect

      What to Expect

      Advanced analytics

      Our skilled data scientists have mastered the art of using data to shed light on your customers' needs

      Real-world research

      We quantify customer sentiment to paint a complete picture of what customers want and how they think

      Customer-led innovation

      We solicit continual feedback to help you spur innovation and anticipate changing tastes and needs

      Tailored insights

      We help you identify priority segments and maximize your unique operational strengths

      Simple averages can’t accurately capture the preferences of either your customers or the marketplace as a whole. A sound customer strategy recognizes that profit potential varies dramatically across a company's customer base, and different customers can have radically different needs and behaviors. We work with clients to understand their customer segments and align these insights to their organization's unique operational strengths.

      Using rigorous quantitative techniques combined with real customer interactions—interviews, ethnography, shop-alongs and focus groups – our customer insights consulting experts identify new opportunities for clients to deepen relationships with the loyal, profitable customers they know best. And we help clients keep their segmentation insights fresh by enlisting their customers' help and continued feedback to spur innovation, navigate shifts in the marketplace and anticipate changing tastes and needs.

      Aided by the deep expertise within our Advanced Analytics Group, we help clients allocate their resources, go after the right opportunities and ensure that they will realize the full revenue potential of their products, services and relationships. And our breakthrough NPS Prism® benchmarking service allows you to understand what customers like (and don't like), so you can prioritize your customer experience efforts as never before.

      Focusing on economics first, we work alongside companies to design and implement segmentation strategies tailored to their needs. Our analysis is comprehensive, but we are careful to keep our clients focused on the data that directly relates to product and process improvements that will generate results.

      Case Study

      Customer segmentation aligns TelecomCo's growth strategy with consumers' needs

      A major Asia-Pacific telecommunications company set ambitious growth targets for its enterprise division, but revenue continued declining. By segmenting its large enterprise customers and developing strategies tied to their changing Internet-based needs we helped TelecomCo meet—and even exceed—its initial revenue goals, and maintain its leadership in the fast-evolving communication services marketplace.
