Steven Gillhouse Advocates for the Power of a Customer-Centric Sales Culture to Drive Growth and Success

Steven Gillhouse Advocates for the Power of a Customer-Centric Sales Culture to Drive Growth and Success

Steven Gillhouse, Cary, North Carolina

Steven Gillhouse, Senior Vice President of Sales at Cornerstone Building Brands, is raising awareness about the transformative impact of a customer-centric approach in sales leadership. With over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, Gillhouse stresses the critical benefits of aligning company strategy with customer needs, noting that businesses prioritizing customer-focused cultures see 60% more profitability on average than their competitors who do not, according to Deloitte. This approach resonates with today’s market demands: studies show that 86% of customers are willing to pay more for a better experience, emphasizing the strategic importance of customer-focused operations.

“Success in sales isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about building relationships that last,” says Gillhouse. “A truly customer-focused mindset enhances not only customer loyalty but also team resilience and adaptability.” His work reflects this belief; under his leadership, Cornerstone Building Brands has seen notable increases in both customer retention and revenue growth. A recent Forrester report found that companies with high customer satisfaction rates outperform their competitors by 17% annually, further proving the long-term value of a customer-centric approach.

Since joining Cornerstone Building Brands in 2009, Gillhouse has implemented processes emphasizing consistency, customer satisfaction, and high-impact performance, creating a supportive and results-oriented team environment. His leadership approach has been central to cultivating a 20% increase in client engagement over the past five years. “When our team connects personally with clients, the results speak for themselves,” Gillhouse shares. “The trust we build directly translates into value and performance.” This perspective is supported by PwC data indicating that 73% of customers rank experience over price as a purchasing factor, underscoring the economic benefits of a customer-first strategy.

Beyond his professional role, Gillhouse’s commitment to community-focused causes, such as Habitat for Humanity and DuPage PADS, reinforces his philosophy that empathy and connection are vital in every area of life. “A customer-first culture isn’t just a sales strategy,” Gillhouse explains. “It’s a holistic, people-centered approach that creates lasting relationships and drives growth. Supporting community causes brings this full circle, showing how empathy creates meaningful, positive change.”

Showing Off Their ADC Game: Creative Biolabs Hits the 15th Annual World ADC Summit in San Diego

From November 4, Creative Biolabs will be back at the 15th Annual World ADC Summit in San Diego, marking its fourth year at the leading global gathering featuring innovative conjugates.

New York, USA – November 6, 2024 – Creative Biolabs invites all ADC enthusiasts, from new entrants to seasoned experts, to explore its comprehensive suite of ADC solutions and experience the latest in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) innovation at Booth #313.

“2023 has been a monumental year for ADC discovery in oncology, represented by the highly anticipated approval of the ninth ADC and a groundbreaking treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,” a scientist at Creative Biolabs says, “and such achievements underscore the potential of ADCs to fight against many cancers beyond breast cancer, energizing the ADC community to push boundaries even further. The World ADC Summit offers an ideal platform for us to showcase how our services align with this momentum, propelling ADCs into frontline therapies that improve patient lives.”

Creative Biolabs, particularly known for ADC discovery and development capabilities, supports every stage of ADC development from early discovery through clinical manufacturing, including antibody engineering, linker design, and payload selection.

A core strength lies in its bioconjugation chemistry services—Creative Biolabs has mastered the art to offer expert antibody design and antibody-linker conjugations utilizing both site-specific and random conjugation methods, thus enabling the precise control over the attachment of cytotoxic drugs to antibodies and supporting clients in achieving the ideal balance between safety and efficacy for each therapeutic application.

“Designing a chemically compatible antibody for the conjugation chemistry is a key step intuitively dictating the fate of an ADC project. We’ve prepared engineered/non-engineered antibodies that are conjugated to the corresponding drug-linker set in DrugLnk, purified via suitable liquid chromatography techniques, and of course characterized for some basic biochemical parameters such as drug-to-antibody ratio, stability, and conjugation site distribution, to expedite your project with clear objectives.” The scientist explains.

Further enhancing ADC functionality are specialized linker and payload solutions that Creative Biolabs tailors to fit the unique requirements of each ADC project. Linkers—responsible for releasing the drug payload only at the targeted cancer site—are available in cleavable and non-cleavable forms, providing flexibility based on therapeutic needs. The company’s extensive catalog of payloads includes a range of cytotoxic agents, ensuring targeted destruction of cancer cells while minimizing side effects on healthy tissue.

Creative Biolabs extends a warm invitation to all World ADC attendees to visit Booth #313 to learn more about its ADC solutions and discuss potential collaborations. The Creative Biolabs team looks forward to meeting with industry experts, sharing insights, and advancing the conversation on ADCs’ role in oncology and beyond.

SAP Business One is Here to Stay: “SAP Business One is Forever”

SAP Business One is Here to Stay: "SAP Business One is Forever"

Senior Vice President of Product Management Rainer Zinow recently addressed the future of SAP Business One, stating that “Business One Forever” reflects the company’s commitment to ongoing support and development for the ERP solution. Zinow’s comments aimed to clear up recent misconceptions regarding the platform’s longevity, indicating that there is no planned “end date.” Some of the confusion may have stemmed from routine updates and changes in the product roadmap, but the company has clarified its intention to maintain SAP Business One as a key resource for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in need of flexible and scalable ERP systems.

SAP Business One provides deployment options that accommodate varying operational needs, including cloud-hosted and on-premise configurations. Zinow emphasized the continued availability of different deployment models, such as private cloud setups, data centers, or direct hosting with SAP. This variety allows businesses to choose configurations that best align with their specific requirements.

Moving forward, SAP Business One’s development will focus on addressing current business challenges, with plans for enhanced cybersecurity measures, improvements to the web client, and integration with technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. For instance, the ongoing development of the web client is intended to achieve 80% of the functionality of the desktop version by 2025, a move aimed at expanding the digital capabilities available to users.

SAP Business One’s connection to the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is expected to play a significant role in the software’s evolution. By leveraging BTP, companies using SAP Business One can integrate AI and automation into their daily operations. This connection facilitates the use of technologies such as automated invoicing processes and machine learning models that predict sales trends, potentially improving productivity and scalability.

The partner ecosystem supporting SAP Business One is integral to expanding the platform’s functionality across diverse industry sectors. The network includes partners who develop specialized add-ons and extensions, addressing the specific needs of different markets. Currently, the platform offers over 700 micro-vertical solutions, enabling customization to meet unique business requirements.

In light of recent global events that have heightened awareness of digital security threats, SAP Business One has increased its emphasis on cybersecurity. Larger organizations have generally strengthened their defenses, while smaller companies have become more vulnerable targets for cybercriminals. To address these risks, SAP Business One has implemented stricter data security measures and guidelines for open-source technology use, aiming to protect customer data more effectively.

Companies still operating older versions of SAP Business One or relying on local server setups may benefit from transitioning to cloud-based infrastructure with multi-layered backup strategies. SAP has advised working with certified partners to upgrade systems and take advantage of the latest security updates, thereby reducing exposure to potential threats.

Zinow’s remarks highlighted that SAP Business One will continue to receive updates, support, and feature enhancements. The development of the platform will be informed by user feedback and technological advancements. For existing customers, remaining current with updates is recommended to ensure access to the most recent functionalities and security improvements. For businesses evaluating ERP solutions, SAP Business One presents an option that combines the reliability of an established platform with the capacity for ongoing innovation.

The statements reinforce SAP’s approach to supporting business growth through continuous development and diverse deployment options. Zinow’s “Business One Forever” message emphasizes the company’s plan to keep the platform relevant and competitive for the foreseeable future, enabling organizations to manage their operations, pursue digital transformation, and adapt to evolving business needs.

The 28th Congress of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR) will be held on 7-10 November 2024 in Hong Kong. APSR is one of the largest Respiratory Societies in the world, the congress will showcase the frontier progress and up-to-coming studies in the field. A standout feature of APSR 2024 is ICON study (Symptoms and risk factors associated with the exacerbations of adult bronchiectasis patients: a multi-center perspective cohort study), a research spearheaded by Dr. ZHANG Yuren, Sr. Medical Advisor at AstraZeneca, who has committed in and driven this study for many years. ICON has been accepted as the Late-Breaking Abstract of APSR 2024, with being released by oral presentation and simultaneously being published in the journal Respirology. The results of ICON1 indicate that patients with bronchiectasis bear a significant burden from exacerbations. Preventing and controlling these exacerbations can offer promising benefits to patients. By detailed analysis on the clinical features of these exacerbations, the study sheds light on the disease burden and pinpoints essential strategies for effective patient management.

Another highlight of APSR 2024 is QIP study (Heavier disease burden of COPD in secondary hospitals: findings from baseline data of Quality Improvement Program) which is initiated and led by Dr. ZHANG Yuren and funded by AstraZeneca. QIP has been accepted as the Late-Breaking Abstract of APSR 2024 as well, its interim analysis will be released by poster presentation, which will also be published simultaneously in the journal Respirology. The patients’ baseline data analysis from QIP2 underscores the critical need to enhance clinical care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study emphasizes the significance of driving changes in clinical practice and improving standard of care adoption rate for COPD patients. As a hot topic at APSR 2024, QIP study details will be further presented in the Satellite Symposium sponsored by AstraZeneca (New Concept of COPD Quality Standards Implementation – the Quality Improvement Program). With QIP study still ongoing, it is out of question that more far-reaching findings are on the threshold.

“Chronic respiratory diseases not only severely impact patients’ quality of life but also impose a substantial economic burden on society.”, emphasized by Dr. ZHANG Yuren when talking about his research plan. This is the reason Dr. ZHANG has been deeply involved in ongoing and extensive studies into different chronic respiratory diseases, including bronchiectasis and COPD, and he is optimistic about the significant value these will yield. Building on the experiences from ICON study which “reveals the disease burden”, and QIP study which aims to “improve standard of care”, future research initiatives will continue to expand and amplify. The focus of research will always centre on elucidating the nature of diseases and exploring solutions, with the ultimate goal of benefiting patients and society as a whole.

Let’s keep an eye on what “ICON” and “QIP” will benefit us in near future.
