Quotes

“We see a lot of times within businesses that they do these sort of one-off, almost campaign based approaches to collecting customer data, which gives them a snapshot of a period of time, which really isn't reflective of the customer journey.”

“Just stop talking, just listen to what your customers are telling you, because you'll be surprised how MUCH your customers are actually telling you.”

“Go find out who the customers are first and then work out what the business is, rather than the other way round.
