Converted – The Data Driven Way to Win Customers' Hearts

Thought Leadership Everyone

The marketing approach of most businesses is short-sighted—focusing too heavily on the point-of-purchase, and trying too hard to understand what everyone likes, rather than identifying and serving their best customers. But success doesn’t come from trying to appeal to everyone; in fact, 80% of revenue comes from cultivating 20% of the customer base. When it comes to driving profitable growth in the long-term, customer lifetime value can no longer be ignored.

In his debut book Converted, Neil Hoyne asks: what if you establish your business around long-term relationships with customers, using data to understand who the best customers are and what they want to buy, and then building around them? This accompanying talk shows you how to do just that, starting by shifting away from a transactional mindset to a relationship-based one. With a new mindset, you can begin to gather, interpret, and use data to grow the bottom line in a different way, says Hoyne.

Clear, non-technical, and filled with sharp insights gleaned from Hoyne’s decades of work in the field, this presentation is for anyone looking for a growth strategy that will propel their business forward with unambiguous results.

The Future of Customer-Obsessed Marketing

Thought Leadership Everyone

Martech spending has reached new heights, but productivity is in decline. Overzealous SaaS licensing and non-integrated point solutions slow human innovation. Creativity and strategy can recalibrate the tech mess, lift brands out of this rut, and help them take advantage of new capabilities like generative AI.

But sustainable growth relies on a martech strategy that’s deeply rooted in customer understanding, with a focus on differentiated customer experiences versus campaigns and conversions. Those that don’t take this path will be lost in a sea of tech-fueled commoditization.

Join this session to learn how marketing leaders can maximize the value of their martech investments and stay ahead of industry forces that accelerate change.
