Challenges of Providing a Solution

Solution must increase the Willingness to Pay

and the price or decrease the cost to Serve to add value to

the firm

Some Common Pitfalls•Firm provides more product features or services (solution) but customers are unwilling to pay for the features or additional services

•Firm is unable to quantify the value added and thus is not remunerated for the effort

•Customer requirements vary resulting in the need for an infinitely flexible system

•Solution is not scalable

•Firm is unwilling to bear higher initial cost necessary to create a solution
