Feedback for GrowthYour Customers Hold the Keys to Unlocking Growth
@seanellisSean Ellis July 29th 2014CEO of Qualaroo, GrowthHackers.comTwitter @seanellis
Good morning, I'm Sean Ellis, founder and CEO of Qualaroo and GrowthHackers.com... Most of you know that being responsive to customer needs is the key to building a successful, fast growing company. But not all feedback is created equally when it comes to driving sustainable growth. Today I will guide you through the critical customer feedback that you should focus on at each stage of your business and the best ways to collect this feedback.
I will be referencing examples from how we applied customer feedback to accelerate growth at companies like Dropbox, LogMeIn, and Eventbrite. And how we ultimately used this feedback to accelerate growth in all channels and build a strong word of mouth driven growth engine.
