Three Tiers of Noncustomers

This slide categorizes noncustomers into 3 distinct tiers based on their proximity to the core market. It visually represents each tier with a layered pyramid and provides space for descriptive details, highlighting the different levels of engagement or distance from the primary customer base.



Why This Slide Is Useful

This slide is valuable for strategic discussions focused on market expansion and customer segmentation. It helps executives and strategists identify potential noncustomers who could be converted into future clients or users. By understanding the different tiers, leaders can tailor outreach and innovation efforts to address the needs of these groups more effectively.

For management consultants, this framework offers a structured way to analyze market boundaries and uncover growth opportunities. It facilitates conversations around how to approach each tier, whether through product innovation, targeted marketing, or new value propositions. The visual format makes complex segmentation accessible and easy to communicate to clients or internal teams.

Investment professionals and strategists can leverage this slide to evaluate market risks and opportunities. Recognizing the different noncustomer tiers enables better assessment of untapped demand and potential barriers to entry. It also supports strategic planning around diversification and diversification strategies.

This slide can be integrated into broader market analysis or innovation workshops. It serves as a foundation for brainstorming sessions on how to convert noncustomers into customers, or how to redefine market boundaries. Its simplicity and clarity make it suitable for executive-level presentations and decision-making discussions.

How This Slide Is Used

This slide is typically used during strategic planning, market analysis, or innovation workshops. It provides a framework for identifying potential growth segments outside the current customer base. Leaders and consultants use it to stimulate discussions on how to reach noncustomers at each tier, whether through new product offerings or marketing strategies.

In client engagements, this slide often becomes part of a broader market opportunity assessment. For example, a company seeking to expand into adjacent markets might analyze each noncustomer tier to determine the most promising entry points. The visual layout helps teams prioritize efforts based on proximity to the core market and potential ease of conversion.

Strategic initiatives like blue ocean strategy or disruptive innovation frequently rely on this segmentation. It guides teams to think beyond existing demand and explore new value spaces. For instance, a firm might target the second tier with simplified or more affordable offerings to attract noncustomers who are currently outside their reach.

Additionally, this slide supports stakeholder communication by clearly illustrating the different levels of noncustomers. It can be used in executive briefings or investor presentations to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of market boundaries and growth potential. The structured format makes complex segmentation accessible and actionable for decision-makers.
