JTBD Case Studies: Understanding customers & measurably increasing success

This post is also available in: Deutsch (German)

Our JTBD case studies show how B2C start-ups and B2B SMEs decipher real customer needs in order to make marketing, sales and business models more successful in the long term. Learn from real-life job-to-be-done examples and discover what happens when companies really understand their customers.


Why case studies with the JTBD method?

The Jobs-to-be-Done method (JTBD) is not a theoretical model. It is a practical framework with which companies can become measurably more successful – whether in marketing, sales, product development or strategy.

Our JTBD case studies show you specific practical examples of how:

  • a B2C start-up with a small budget achieved 5× more sales,
  • a medium-sized IT service provider completely repositioned its business model,
  • technical solutions became real customer results.
