VB insight


#2 - Be Smarter

What I say, may not be what I do!

• What I tell you I do is different to what I do

• People add bias to shape how they’re perceived

• Behavioral data is more accurate


#2 - Be Smarter

Be predictive. Not reactive.

• WHAT is the customer doing?• WHY are they doing it?• WOW! Treat then as individuals

To be predictive, insight into the customer is needed. This is the 3 Ws

Question: Could you do this by preference center data &order history?


With more data you can market smarter & use more automation.
