Profit by Design – Global Book Launch

It is with pleasure and great honour that I announce that Mark Hocknell has chosen our Meetup to launch his new book: Profit by Design: How to build a customer portfolio full of profitable promotors.

Mark first presented at our Meetup in 2016 when he introduced the concept of ‘the Awesome Customer’. He has presented regularly at our Meetup and has helped dozens of organisations of all sizes design their businesses to be more profitable, by focusing on the design of the customer portfolio.

Our Lean Business Strategies Meetup group has played an important role for Mark as this is where the topic – Profit by Design - was first shared and where it became clear that this approach is of great value for our community. Almost four-years on from the first meetup this topic has evolved into a 150+ page book with 17 practical templates to support your implementation.

The launch of this book is a major achievement and milestone that I know will help Startups and Businesses of all types and sizes.

Today we are in the age of the customer. The customer is in charge of the decision-making that has the most impact on our long-term success and profitability. The make-up of your customer portfolio - the customer lifetime-value and the level of advocacy – is the key determinant for success. Profit by Design provides the method to deliberately design your customer portfolio.
