The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it’s almost redundant at this point to say it’s reporting season, but as we hit quarterly ends, yearly ends, things like that, people become reflective and say, “Hey, let’s do some reports.” One of the problems that we see the most with reporting—and I was guilty of this for the majority of my career, particularly the first half—is when you’re not confident about your reporting skills, what do you do? You back the truck up and you pour data all over somebody’s desk and you hope that it overwhelms them so that they don’t ask you any questions, which is the worst possible way to do reporting. So, Katie, as a senior executive, as a leader, when someone delivers reporting to you, what do you get and what do you want to get? Katie Robbert – 00:51 Well, I would start to say reports, like the ones that you were generating, hate to see me coming. Because guess what I do, Chris, I ask a bazillion questions, starting with so what? And I think that’s really the key. As the CEO of Trust Insights, I need a report that tells me exactly what the insights and actions are so that I can do those things. And that is a user story. A user story is a simple three-part sentence: As a Persona, I want so that. If someone is giving me a report and they haven’t asked me for a user story, that’s probably step one. So, Chris, if I say, “All right, if you can pull the monthly metrics, Chris, and put it into a report, I would appreciate it.” Katie Robbert – 01:47 If I haven’t given you a user story, you need to ask me what it is, because that’s the “so what?” Why are we doing this in the first place? We have no shortage of data points. We have no shortage of information about what happened, maybe even why it happened. And that’s a problem because it doesn’t tell a story. What happens is, if you just give me all of that data back, I don’t know what to do with it. And that’s on me, and that’s on you. And so, together, one of us needs to make sure there is a user story. Ideally, I would be providing it, but if I don’t provide it, your first step is to ask for it. That is Step zero. What is the user story? Why am I pulling this report in the first place? Katie Robbert – 02:33 What is it that you, the stakeholder, expect to get out of this report? What is it you need to do with this information? That is Step zero, before you even start looking at data. Christopher S. Penn – 02:44 I love user stories, and I love them, A, for the simplicity, but B, because of that warm and comforting feeling of having covered your ass. Because if I ask you for a user story and you give me one, I build a report for that. Then you come back and say, “But this is this.” Katie Robbert – 03:03 This. Christopher S. Penn – 03:03 I’m like, “You signed off on the user. You gave me the user story, you signed off on the user story. And what you’re asking for is not in the user story.” So I think we need to recalibrate and have you give me maybe some new user stories so you can get what you want. I’m not going to tell you to go F off—not my face. But I’m also going to push back and say, “This wasn’t in the user story.” Because the reason I love user stories is because they’re the simplest but most effective form of requirements gathering. Katie Robbert – 03:36 I would agree with that. When I was a product manager, user stories saved my sanity because my job was to get all of my stakeholders aligned on a single idea. And I’ve told this before, I’d literally go to their office and camp out and get a physical signature on a piece of paper saying, “Yes, this is exactly what you’re agreeing to.” Then, when we would sit in the meeting and the development team or the design team would present the thing, the second somebody would be like, “Well, wait,” I would just hold up the piece of paper and point to their signature. It’s such an effective way to get things done. Katie Robbert – 04:23 Because what happens if you don’t have a user story to start, or any kind of requirements to start, when you’re doing reporting is exactly what you’re talking about. You end up with spreadsheets of data that doesn’t really mean anything. You end up with 60-slide PowerPoint reports with all of these visuals, and every single slide has at least four or five charts on it and some kind of a label. But there’s no story. There’s no, “Why am I looking at this?” When I think about reporting, the very first thing I want to see is—and I would say even go ahead and do this, this is sort of the pro tip— Katie Robbert – 05:00 Whatever the user story was that I gave you, put that right at the top of the report so that when I look at it, I go, “Oh, that’s what I was looking for. Great.” Because chances are, the second you walk away, I’ve already forgotten the conversation—not because it’s not important, but because a million other things have crept up. Now, when you come back to me and say, “This is what I’m delivering,” this is what I need to be reminded of. A lot of stakeholders, people in general, we’re all forgetful. Over-communicate what it is that we’re doing here in the first place. And no one’s going to be mad at that. It’s like, “Oh, now I don’t have to ask questions.” The second thing I look for is sort of that big “So what?” Katie Robbert – 05:45 We call it an executive summary. You can call it the big takeaway, whatever it is. At the very top of the report, I personally look for, “What is the big thing I need to know?” Is everything great? That’s all I need to know. Is everything terrible? I definitely need to know that. Do I need to take six big actions? Great, let me know that. Or, it’s all business as usual. Just give me the 30-second, “Here are the three bullet points that you need to know.” If you have no other time to read this report, that should be the summary at the top. I am going to, even if it’s not right then, dig into the rest of the report. But I may only in that moment be able to look at the summary. Katie Robbert – 06:33 When I see these big slide decks that people present to their executive team or to their board or to whoever they report to, it’s such a missed opportunity to not have the key takeaways right there up front. If you’re asking someone to scroll, scroll, get through it—it’s all the way at the end—they’re not going to do it, and they’re going to start picking apart everything. Even if you’ve done the work to say, “But I already summarized all of that,” it’s not right there in front of them. Do yourself a favor. Whatever it is the person you’re presenting this to needs to know, put it right in front of their face immediately. Christopher S. Penn – 07:13 Back in the day, we came up with a framework called the SAINT framework, which stands for Summary, Analysis, Insights, Next Steps, Timeline. Where I’ve seen that go wrong is people try to do too much in the summary. From Analysis, Insights, Next Steps, and Timelines, there should be one to three bullets from each that become the summary. Katie Robbert – 07:34 And that’s it? Christopher S. Penn – 07:35 Yeah, that’s it. In terms of percentages, what we generally recommend to people is that Analysis should be 10% to 15% of the report. What happened? Data Insights should be 10% to 15% of the report. Why did those things happen? We did this, and this is what happened. Or this external factor occurred, and this has happened. The remaining 50% to 60% of the report should be equally split between Next Steps—what are you going to do about it?—and Timeline—when are you going to do it? Those next steps and timeline become the decisions that you need the stakeholder to make and when they need to do it so that you get done what you need to get done. Christopher S. Penn – 08:23 That’s the part we call the three “What’s”: What happened? So what? Now what? As you progress through any measurement framework, any reporting framework, the more time you spend on “Now what,” the better a stakeholder is likely to like the report. You should absolutely, if the stakeholder wants it, provide the appendix of the data itself if they want to pour through it. But at the highest level, it should be, “Hey Katie, our website traffic was down 15% last month. The reason for it was because it was a shorter month, a lot of holidays. What we need to do is we need to spin up a small paid campaign, $500 for the next month, to boost traffic back to our key pages. I need a decision from you by October 31st. Go, no go.” Christopher S. Penn – 09:18 And that would be the short summary because that fulfills your user story of, “As a CEO, I need to know what’s going on in marketing so that I can forecast and plan for the future.” Katie Robbert – 09:31 Yep. I would say the other thing that people get wrong is trying to do too much in one report. We talk about this when we talk about dashboard development or any kind of storytelling with data. If I give you three user stories, for example, what I don’t want to see is you trying to cram everything into one report to fulfill every single user story. That’s confusing. There is nothing wrong with—because you already have all the data anyway—just giving me three different stories that fulfill the question that I’m asking. You might be like, “Well, I’m only supposed to do one monthly report. Now you’re asking me to do three monthly reports.” No, I’m not. I’m asking you to take a look at the data and answer each individual question, which you should be doing anyway. Katie Robbert – 10:29 This is the thing that drives me nuts: the lack of consistency from top to bottom. If you think of where a report starts and where it ends, I’m the person who looks at the ending and goes back through and says, “Was there a consistent thread? Am I still looking at the same information at the end that I started with at the beginning?” If you’re telling me actions about my email marketing, but you started with data about my web traffic, my eyebrows are up and I’m like, “I don’t get how we got from A to B.” That’s a big thing that I personally look for—that consistent thread throughout the entire report. If you’re giving me data on web traffic, I then expect the next steps to be about web traffic, not about a different channel. Katie Robbert – 11:20 If you have things you need to tell me about the email marketing data, start with that, because I’m going to be looking for, “Why are we talking about email marketing when our social media was where you started?” That drives me nuts to no end because then it actually puts more work on me and you: “Okay, let’s backtrack, let’s do this over again. Let’s figure out the big thing.” What I was always taught as the person executing the reports is: anticipate the questions, get to know your stakeholder. Anyone who works for me knows me, they know I’m going to ask a million questions. So one of the expectations I have of someone doing a task that I’ve delegated is know that I’m going to ask a million questions about it. Katie Robbert – 12:21 I really want you to examine and think through, “What questions would Katie ask? How do I get her off my back? How do I get her to stop being a pain in the butt and ask me a million questions?” And you’re laughing, Chris, but it’s an effective way to think through a full, well-rounded approach to any kind of a deliverable. This is what we talk about when we talk about gathering business requirements. Have you thought of what happens if we don’t do it? Have you thought of the risks? Having that full set of requirements and questions answered saves you so much time in the execution. It’s very much the same thing. Katie Robbert – 13:01 If I’m delivering something to you, Chris, the way that I’m thinking about it is, “What’s the first question Chris is going to ask me about this? Okay, can I answer that? Great. What’s the second question Chris is going to ask me about this?” And I keep going until I’m out of questions. It occurs to me that you can use generative AI to do this exercise. One of the things, Chris, that you teach in prompt engineering is the magic trick is to have the system ask you one question at a time until it has everything it needs. If you have the time and the luxury to build a synthetic version of your stakeholder, you can do that same thing. Katie Robbert – 13:48 Put together your report, give it the user story, and say, “Ask me one question at a time until there are no questions left to ask.” Christopher S. Penn – 13:57 Exactly. And if you want a scratch way to do that, one of the fastest ways is for you to take past emails or past conference call or Zoom meeting transcripts or your stakeholder’s LinkedIn profile, put that all into a single system—a GPT, a GEM, a Claude project, whatever you want to do—and say, “Behave as the stakeholder, understand what’s important to them, and then ask me one question at a time about my report until there are no questions left.” It’s super valuable, very easy way to do it. I want to go back to the thing about dashboarding and reporting because I wanted to show this. For those who are just listening, this is the cockpit of the Airbus A220, which is a popular aircraft. Christopher S. Penn – 14:42 One of the things you’ll notice: at first it looks very overwhelming, but one of the things you’ll notice is that every screen here serves one function. The altitude and course screen on the far left serves just to tell the pilot where they’re going and where the plane is right now. The navigation screen shows you where the plane is and what’s nearby. Even the controls—when you look at the controls, every lever is a different shape so that you can feel what lever your hand is on. A lot of thought has gone into this to put only the essential things that a pilot needs to get their job done. There is nothing extraneous, there is nothing wasted. Christopher S. Penn – 15:30 Because any amount of waste, any amount of confusion in a very high-stakes situation, can literally result in everyone dying. From this, we could take lessons for our reporting to say, “Does this report serve a single user story and does it do that well? Is it focused on that?” Going back to what you’re saying earlier, if there are multiple user stories, there should be multiple reports, because you can’t make everything be everything to everyone. You could not put every function on this plane in one screen. You will die! You’ll fly straight into a mountain because you’re like, “Where’s my position? What’s my GPS? Where’s the nearby? Holy crap.” By the time you figure out what’s on the screen, you’ve run into a mountain. Christopher S. Penn – 16:13 That design lesson—it really is information architecture—and design is the heart and soul of good reporting. Now, here’s the question: Why don’t we teach that? Katie Robbert – 16:27 Well, you and I teach that, but. Christopher S. Penn – 16:29 Well, yes, Trust Insights. I mean, for people who are, when you look at, for example, courses taught in business school, things we’ve both been through, that we’ve both enjoyed the lovely experience of going through a business program, a master’s degree. Katie Robbert – 16:44 Program, our own projects, all the good stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 16:47 Yeah, none of that was ever taught. Katie Robbert – 16:49 I’m speculating, but honestly, what I was about to speculate is contradictory, so that’s not helpful. No, because I was going to say, because it’s taught from the perspective of the user, the person executing it, but that would argue that, okay, that’s what they should be teaching is how to put together that kind of reporting. I actually don’t remember any kind of course or any kind of discussion about putting together some kind of data storytelling, because that’s really what we’re talking about—telling a story with the data. In business school, you get a lot of, “Here are 12 case studies about global companies and why they either succeeded or failed.” But there’s nothing about the day-to-day in terms of how they actually got to where they are. Katie Robbert – 17:54 It’s, “Henry Ford was this guy who made decisions,” or “Here’s how Wells Fargo,” or “Here’s how an international clothing company, Zara, made all their money.” That’s all really helpful to know from a big picture standpoint. I feel like a lot of what’s taught in business school is big picture unless you take stats. But stats also doesn’t teach you how to do data storytelling; it just teaches you how to analyze the data. So I actually think that it’s just a big missing component because we don’t really think about it. We think that, “Oh, it’s just a marketing function.” And even in marketing classes, you don’t really get to the data storytelling part. You get to more case studies on Facebook or “Here’s how to set up something in Google Ads.” Katie Robbert – 18:46 But then it doesn’t really tell you what to do with the data afterwards. So it’s a huge missed opportunity. I think it’s just not taught in general. I could be mistaken. It’s been a hot second since I was in business school, but my assumption is that it’s not seen as an essential part of the degree. And yet, when you get into the real world, if you can’t tell a story with the data, then you’re at a disadvantage. If you’re asking me personally as a CEO, I am open to thoughts, I’m open to ideas, I’m open to opinions. I am not open to you winging it. I’m not open to vibes. I’m not open to, “Let me just experiment in a production environment.” I’m not open to any of that. Katie Robbert – 19:36 I am open to something where you’ve done the research and you said, “I had this thought, here’s the data that backs it up, and here’s the plan moving forward.” You can use the SAINT framework for a proposal for a new idea. You can use a SAINT framework for a business plan or a business case to say, “I think we should do something different.” I’m always going to look for the data that supports your opinions. Christopher S. Penn – 20:05 Reporting is kind of a horizontal function in that it spans every department. Finance has to do reporting, and sometimes they have regulatory reasons that reporting must be in this format to be compliant with the law. HR, sales, operations—everybody has reporting. I think it’s one of those cases, like the tragedy of the commons. I don’t know if that’s the right analogy or not, but because everybody has to do it, nobody teaches it. Everybody assumes, “Oh well, that’s somebody else’s job to do that.” As a result, you end up with hot salad when it comes to the quality of reports you get. Christopher S. Penn – 20:45 When we worked at the PR agency together, the teams would put together 84-page slide decks of “Here’s what we did,” and it was never connected to results; it was never connected to stakeholders’ user stories. To your point, the simplest thing that you could do as a business professional today is to take that user story from your stakeholder and put it into generative AI with your raw data. Use Google Colab—that would be a great choice—and say, “Here’s my stakeholder’s user story of all this data. Help me understand what data is directly connected to my user story, what data is not, what data is missing that I should have, and what data is unnecessary that I can just ignore.” Christopher S. Penn – 21:34 Then, help me plan out a dashboard of the top three things that I need my stakeholder to pay attention to. That’s where you use SAINT, putting the SAINT framework as a literal knowledge block that you drop right into the chat and say, “Help me write a SAINT framework report based on this data and my user’s user story.” I guarantee if you do that, you will take your stakeholder from mildly happy to deliriously happy in one report because they’ll look at it and go, “You understand what I need to do my job.” Katie Robbert – 22:12 I would say you don’t even have to use Google Colab for something like that, especially if you’re not even really sure where to start. Chris, you’re talking about a thorough understanding of what all of the data means. If you want to even take a step back and say, “This is my stakeholder’s user story. These are the platforms that I have to work with. Can I satisfy this user story with the data that I think I have access to? What should I use? What metrics would answer this question? What am I missing?” You can do the same exercise but just keep it a little bit more high level and be like, “I have Google Analytics 4, I have HubSpot, I have Mautic. Can I answer the question being asked?” And the answer might be no. Katie Robbert – 23:03 If the generative AI says no, you can’t answer the question being asked, make sure it tells you what you need to answer that question so that you can go back to your stakeholder. Be like, “This was your user story. This is what you wanted to know. I don’t have that information. Can you get it for me? Can you help me get it? What do we need to do? Or can you adjust your expectations?” Which is probably not the way to say it to a stakeholder because they never really enjoy that. We always like to think that we know best and we know everything and that we’re never wrong, which is true 99% of the time. Christopher S. Penn – 23:41 So, to recap, use user stories, please, to get validation of your reporting requirements first. Then use any good data storytelling framework, including the SAINT framework, including the 5 Ps—use whatever you’ve got for frameworks—and use generative AI as a thought partner to say, “Can I understand what’s good, what’s bad, what’s missing, and what’s unnecessary from my data to tell the story to my stakeholder?” If you got some thoughts about how you do reporting or how you could be doing reporting better, pop by our free Slack Group.

They discuss how data can dispel business-damaging myths about the customer and the ways that John Hancock is better able to understand their customers through their data. Lindsay also dives into their use of data and behavioral science to engage customers and impact their health for the better. Guest Quote:“ We went ahead on this myth busting, myth busting trail. One, was that this was really going to be, our program was gonna be impacted by age. Older people may not want to engage over certain age groups. They're not digital, they're not gonna go onto your mobile app. And we said, okay, let's actually test that. And so we put our customers into different cohorts and we said, okay, let's separate them by decades. Every 10 years, let's take a look at it. And one of our highest engaged populations is between 70 and 80 of actually getting into our app. Four times a day, they're in our mobile app. And if I think of, as a consumer, how many apps am I going to four times a day? You don't think of life insurance or insurance in general.”Episode Breakdown: [02:06] Alchemy UnveiledBusting myths with data: Stories that are told about groups of consumers or different demographics may be false.

What if you discovered that 79% of your company's top-line revenue could be slipping away, right under your nose, all because of outdated billing and invoicing processes? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, host Vinay Koshy sits down with Randy Wootton, CEO of Maxio, to dig into one of the most overlooked deal killers and revenue drains in B2B SaaS: broken financial operations. With over 25 years in tech and a history of scaling and exiting firms, Randy brings deep, candid insights from the frontlines of SaaS operations. Together, they unpack why so many CFOs still cling to spreadsheets, how to create a culture of accountability and data-driven decision-making, and why getting serious about monetization, beyond customer acquisition and retention, can exponentially boost your company's valuation. You'll also hear behind-the-scenes stories of SaaS mergers, the battle to win over finance teams, and why nailing your monetization strategy is now a CEO's must-have skill. Whether running a startup, growing a SaaS company, or steering a PE-backed venture, this episode is packed with real-world lessons and contrarian takes you can't afford to miss. Ready to get funded—and stay funded? Let's dive in. Some areas we explore in this episode include: Problems in B2B Billing & Financial Operations: Common issues like revenue leakage, billing errors, and spreadsheet dependence.What Maxio Does: How Maxio connects CRM and general ledger systems to streamline financial processes for B2B SaaS.Randy Wootton's Leadership Journey: His background in the military and tech and how that shaped his leadership approach.Execution, Metrics & Growth Culture: The importance of accountability, data-driven execution, and fostering an environment of continuous improvement.CFO Mindsets and the Move From Spreadsheets: Why CFOs resist change and how companies can encourage adoption of automated systems.AI and Data Insights in Financial Ops: How Maxio and similar platforms are moving toward more intelligent, AI-driven analytics and business insights.Monetization Strategies for SaaS Companies: Monetization (pricing, packaging, value capture) matters as much as acquisition and retention.Maxio's Pricing Model: Details on its billing-based pricing and why this approach benefits customers.Brand Strategy After Merger: Lessons from combining SaaSOptics and Chargeify into Maxio, and the challenges of rebranding.Get Funded, Stay Funded: The “dolphin strategy” for SaaS businesses—balancing growth, profitability, and investor expectations.And much, much more...

In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, to unpack how the company is reshaping endpoint security through a unique, control-first approach. Rob shares how ThreatLocker is challenging long-held assumptions about trust, visibility, and control in enterprise environments—and why the traditional “trust but verify” model is no longer good enough.From Default Permit to Default DenyThreatLocker's philosophy centers on a fundamental shift: moving from a default permit posture to a default deny stance. This approach, according to Rob, doesn't hinder operations—it creates boundaries that allow organizations to function safely and efficiently. It's not about locking systems down; it's about granting permissions with precision, so users can operate without even noticing security is present.Product Innovation Driven by Real FeedbackThe conversation highlights how customer input—and CEO Danny Jenkins' relentless presence at industry events—drives product development. New solutions like Web Control and Patch Management are designed as logical extensions of existing tools, allowing security teams to reduce risk without creating friction for end users. The addition of a software store, suggested by enterprise customers, gives users clarity on what's approved while reducing IT support tickets.Insights and the Detect DashboardRob also explains how ThreatLocker is unlocking the value of big data. With billions of data points collected every hour, their new Insights platform aggregates and analyzes cross-customer trends to better inform security decisions. Combined with the Detect Dashboard, teams now gain not only visibility but actionable intelligence—supported by polished visuals and streamlined workflows.More Than Just Tech—It's Peace of MindWhile the technology is impressive, Rob says the most rewarding feedback is simple: “ThreatLocker helps me sleep at night.” For many customers, that level of confidence is priceless. And in unexpected situations—like a blue-screen incident caused by third-party software—ThreatLocker has even been used to mitigate impacts in creative ways.Whether you're leading a global IT team or managing a growing MSP, this episode will make you think differently about how security fits into your operational strategy.

He currently serves as a ward missionary. Most importantly, Justin has been married for 22 years and has six children whom he loves to inundate with the most recent, intriguing research graphs he has created. Links Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Justin talks about toxic perfectionism, particularly within the context of Latter-day Saints. He shares his research findings, which challenge the common belief that Latter-day Saints are inherently more prone to toxic perfectionism than individuals from other religious backgrounds. He explains that while 12% of Latter-day Saint youth exhibit high levels of toxic perfectionism, this figure is lower than the 20% found among atheists and agnostics, suggesting that toxic perfectionism is a broader human tendency rather than a specific issue tied to religious beliefs. The conversation delves into the nuances of perfectionism, distinguishing between healthy striving for high standards and the detrimental effects of toxic perfectionism, which can lead to feelings of worthlessness and shame. Justin emphasizes the importance of fostering a secure attachment to God, which can mitigate feelings of toxic perfectionism. He highlights the role of parents and leaders in creating an environment of love and support, rather than shame, to help youth navigate their identities and self-worth. The episode also addresses the challenges faced by LGBTQ youth within religious contexts, advocating for a compassionate approach that maintains the value of religious teachings while providing necessary support. The conversation underscores the significance of identity and the need for leaders and parents to remind youth of their inherent worth as children of God, encouraging them to strive for high standards without the burden of toxic perfectionism. 01:41 - Introduction of Justin Dyer and Research Focus 02:56 - Exploring Toxic Perfectionism 03:41 - Research Intent and Methodology 05:12 - Understanding Toxic Perfectionism 06:48 - Healthy vs. Toxic Perfectionism 09:46 - Impact of Perfectionism on Identity 10:33 - Balancing Standards and Self-Worth 12:06 - The Role of Perfectionism in Religious Context 13:13 - Addressing Youth and Leadership Dynamics 14:03 - The Challenge of Leadership Messaging 16:44 - Data Insights on Toxic Perfectionism 20:06 - The Role of Religion in Mental Health 22:44 - Encouraging a Positive Gospel Experience 24:33 - Parenting and Toxic Perfectionism in Youth 27:01 - The Importance of Love in Parenting 28:51 - The Impact of Parental Relationships on Identity 30:41 - Navigating Adolescence and Identity 32:27 - The Dangers of Silent Suffering 34:13 - Encouraging Healthy Standards in Youth 36:36 - Addressing LGBTQ Dynamics in Religious Context 38:10 - The Importance of Individualized Support 40:06 - Adult Experiences with Toxic Perfectionism 42:29 - Building a Secure Relationship with God The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Obtaining clean, granular data is a major challenge for many companies, as data can be outdated, inconsistent, or siloed across different systems. This makes it difficult to make informed business decisions, especially when using AI and machine learning. Traject Data helps clients set up API feeds to get real-time data updates on things like product availability, pricing changes, and where their products are being sold across channels. This enables them to make faster, more accurate decisions. The data Traject provides can be used for a variety of use cases, like preventing fraud and unauthorized reselling, as well as optimizing SEO and marketing strategies as search and shopping behaviors evolve. Maintaining a consistent, high-quality customer experience across all touchpoints is critical for retention. Leveraging the right data can help brands predict customer needs and serve them more relevant content and offers. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, as brands need to balance data-driven personalization with respecting customer privacy. Ongoing testing and adjustment is required as consumer expectations continue to shift.
