Over the past few years, marketers have learned one of the most effective methods for lead generation is engaging with prospective customers while intent is high, like when they’re browsing the website or perusing the pricing page. However it’s quality – not quantity – that’s most important when it comes to accelerating your sales pipeline.

Note: The following is an excerpt from Chapter 7 of The Guaranteed Customer Experience. Daniel Pascoe has never owned a car.

When thinking about education, most of us tend to think only about teachers and other administrative staff — frontline workers, so to speak. It makes sense; frontline educators are incredibly important and often underappreciated. In reality, the education ecosystem is like an iceberg: What you see is just a small fraction of the whole. In order for frontline educators to do their jobs successfully, they need access to things like books, software, and various other supplies.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
