Times have changed, and buyers no longer need to walk down your intricate paths to receive the information they need to complete a purchase. Gating things like pricing and not sharing comparisons between you and your competitors only hurts your brand.
Offering a personalized experience is templated, tokenized even. But offering a personal experience is tailored, and that's what customers expect.
When it comes to teams that haven't begun to utilize AI — the overwhelming reason is the fear of being replaced, but AI is not an applicant or an expert by any means. It is a tool to be used to make your job easier.
Negative customer feedback serves as a superpower for businesses because it possesses the potential to drive significant positive change. Unlike positive feedback, which can boost morale and confirm that things are going well, negative feedback acts as a catalyst for improvement.
There is no such thing as a bad lead, only a lead that we have not taken the time to nurture, educate, and build a relationship with. Every lead, regardless of their initial quality or readiness to buy, has the potential to become a valuable customer. It all depends on the customer journey we lead them on before sending them to sales.
