Executive summary

Needs-based segmentation groups customers by what they want and value rather than by demographics or firmographics alone, producing segments that behave differently and respond to different offers. This is the Needs-Based Segmentation from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for needs-based segmentation, and it walks through everything from designing the segmentation study to the typing tool: classifying customers at the frontline. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
