What they're saying

  • Customers who trust a brand are more likely to become repeat buyers. The deeper emotional connection leads to long-term relationships. They become customers who stick with the brand even when cheaper alternatives are available.” – John Premkumar in Brand trust is the most valuable asset your company owns.
  • We’ve barely scratched the surface of what martech can teach us — because we’re not asking enough questions. And that’s likely because we don’t know enough. The first step is mastering our new tools. Change is hard, but we’re not there. Not even close.” – Scott Honstein in B2B marketing can’t hide from change forever
