Did you know augmented data can deliver trusted, high-quality insights for niche audiences at a fraction of the time and cost?? In partnership with Greenbook our COO, Leon Mishkis, and Principal of Strategic Insights, Jason Talwar, recently led a webinar exploring how augmented data offers powerful advantages for B2B research. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Field real-world responses: Recruit N=300 verified professionals for a survey. 2️⃣ Train the model: Use real-world responses to power a statistical AI model that identifies trends and patterns across all respondent segments. 3️⃣ Select niche segments: Let the model target underrepresented groups (15 respondents), boosting their representation by up to 3X to ensure smaller segments are better represented in the findings. 4️⃣ Generate augmented data: The model then generates highly predictive responses using trends from both niche and adjacent segments. 👉Curious about what the future of B2B market research looks like?

Yesterday I presented with my friend, Jasion Talwar, at the NewtonX Executive Insights event in New York on Customer Surplus Value (CSV). CSV is a validated method to get insight into your brand's or product's pricing power. Here are some key points: 1. CSV puts a $ value on product or brand. If CSV is higher than what consumers currently pay you may have flexibility in increasing the price, if it is lower, customers will leave. 2. We have shown that it predicts consumer behavior 18 months out. 3. If gives you additional insights over and above NPS.

Yesterday, our team hosted an executive breakfast with marketing and research leaders from IBM, Mastercard, Morgan Stanley and others to discuss how we define and measure brand value. Jason Talwar, Principal of Strategic Insights at NewtonX, and Marco V., Founder and CEO of Kwantum, led the discussion by sharing insights from their latest research on Customer Surplus Value (CSV)—published in the Harvard Business Review. They asked a simple question: Would you be willing to forgo the use of this brand, product or service for one month if we pay you $X? As marketers, understanding how to communicate brand value to leadership is critical. This new research gives us an additional tool, Customer Surplus Value. By quantifying value in dollars in addition to NPS, CSAT and others, we can help our organizations make smarter decisions that drive growth. One of my favorite takeaways: Value is not retention, loyalty, or from the perspective of the company, it’s what the customer believes to be true about your brand.

It was an honor to host senior marketing and research executives from IBM, Mastercard, Morgan Stanley, and more yesterday. A huge thank you Jason Talwar and Marco V. for providing a fresh perspective on understanding customers using data-driven insights based on their research published in Harvard Business Review. As businesses identify new ways to unlock untapped customer potential, it’s clear that embracing dollar-value metrics and combining diverse methodologies are important steps toward driving better business decisions. A special thank you to Jackie Cutrone, Daniel Sills, Lori Bacich, Jimmy Coonan, and all the attendees for making this event a success! Check out the HBR story here: https://lnkd.in/ek-s9wMc
