TAKEAWAYS

  1. Decide what your one source of truth is (for customer data); where are you tracking your whole customer journey.
  2. Align your three departments (marketing, sales, support) to work together towards common goals, using KPIs/OKRs. It helps each department to know what others are doing and what customer journey has been.
  3. Be human. On the other side of the screen are real people with real needs. Don’t treat them as traffic, leads, etc.
