What You’ll Learn From This Episode

“If you are not the most innovative in your space, if you’re not the cheapest, then it’s about customer intimacy. How do you build that customer intimacy? One of the ways to do it is to build a sense of community.”

Yuri van der Sluis

“Saying your customer-focused doesn’t make you customer-focused... People who say they do consultative selling usually have no idea how to actually do it.”

Yuri van der Sluis

“Your biggest asset is your clients, how they use the technology and their experience...This is where there is a very good opportunity.”
