A More Detailed Look Into Our Unique Analysis
Internal Analysis
Generate Awareness
Sometimes just talking aloud in a group setting can bring forth concepts and ideas that would’ve never blossomed elsewhere.
Identify Characteristics
Implementing Customer-Driven Voice
Every company needs a boilerplate – 100-ish words that serve as your elevator pitch. Think press releases, LinkedIn, etc.
External Analysis
Chatting with Customers
Our secret blend of thoughtful and engaging questions helps us identify what your customers believe to be your strengths and weaknesses.
Finding Differentiation
Feedback from the customer interview process combined with aspects of the internal analysis lets Vive witness the cream rising to the top.
Open Dialogue Workshop
In an on-site meeting with leadership, you truly learn how you’re currently being perceived by your customers. This step is crucial and dare we say, fun?
