We live in an era where it is more important than ever to have a mindset of “learn-it-all” instead of “know-it-all”. To come out stronger from the current situation, it is imperative to keep talking to your customers and give them the customer experience they expect.

 Data is a huge opportunity for companies. But few know how to leverage it properly by doing the following: 

• Collect scattered data to create a single customer view and source of truth

• Analyze and visualize it in an easy-to-interpret and relevant way; tied to your goals and KPIs

• Act on the data and deliver a relevant and engaging customer experience

To leverage data you need a technical system, preferably a Customer Data Platform (CDP). A CDP is a system that centralizes customer data from all different sources – such as the web, transactions, email, customer support, apps, social media – and creates a 360° customer view. 

This data is then made available to other systems, such as a marketing automation system. This in turn means that the data becomes actionable and can be used for marketing campaigns, customer service or to enhance the customer experience.

To help companies leverage their data better with the help of a CDP, Maria Stenvinkel & myself created a free masterclass: “CDP Fundamentals: How to grow your business & provide a world-class customer experience”.

The purpose of this masterclass is to give you the basics about customer data and a Customer Data Platform (CDP). There are 12 lessons, which will take about 2-4 minutes each to read. You can expect to receive about one email every other day.
