HundredX Announces Strategic Alliance with FGS Global

Integrating Customer Experience Insights within Strategic Communications

 DALLAS, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HundredX, a unique customer insights and strategy development firm, today announced an alliance agreement with FGS Global ("FGS"), a leading global strategic advisory and communications firm.  The sector-exclusive alliance will provide the c-suite, board, and other key stakeholders with access to independent data and analytics to identify shifts in customer purchasing behavior and the impact on sales growth and relative financial performance several quarters in advance.

Under the agreement, FGS will be able to help clients access HundredX products and analysis and develop relevant supporting strategies around a company's most important stakeholders – its customers. Insights include the HundredX GO Score™, a new predictive growth outlook metric available on thousands of brands across 80+ industries.

Said Paul Verbinnen, FGS co-chair, North America, "HundredX's analysis is a unique and valuable tool that many clients can benefit from, and we are pleased to be able to bring it to them in conjunction with the HundredX team. Their growth outlook insights, which are already being incorporated into equity research by Goldman Sachs, will become an increasingly important metric by which corporate managements and boards assess their customer relationships and by which investors assess a company's success in meeting customer expectations. The underlying data is highly predictive of future financial and market performance which is critical in developing corporate strategy and customer programs."     

Said Rob Pace, HundredX founder & CEO, "While we have always intuitively known there is a tie between customer outcomes and financial outlook, until now there has been limited progress connecting those dots in an actionable way. The HundredX GO Score provides that clearer linkage, which is vital given stakeholder ecosystems and the accelerating changes in business more broadly."

Said Charles "Chuck" Schwab, discount brokerage pioneer and early HundredX investor, "Most of the big misses in business result from failing to walk in your customers' shoes and identifying competitive blind spots. HundredX is a high-quality and independent customer-driven metric that connects to future results. Potential access to these insights is a significant strategic development for CEOs, Boards of Directors, IR departments, and investors."
