What does this mean for those of us working in the funnel? For marketers, it’s time to double down on excelling at what we do, perhaps implementing some changes that will align our KPIs with the C-suite’s priorities.
We have to get much better at the key challenges associated with customer retention: listening to our customers; engaging with them across touchpoints; gaining a clearer picture of their entire journeys; supporting them throughout their experiences with our brands, and striving to understand where exactly we’re failing to meet their needs.
This got me thinking about how tools can help us solve some of our most pressing retention problems. I think it’s time to take a serious look at what we can add to our tool stacks to make that happen.
