Customer experience 101 - ep. #32

Net dollar retention and customer experience are highly critical for the success of your SaaS business. I had a chance to connect recently with Gaby Moran, director of customer experience at Workato. Before her current role, Gaby spent quite a few years at Medallia, customer experience management software with a world-class NPS of 60+.

Our conversation turned out to be a fantastic "customer experience 101" overview, with key terms defined; and many burning questions I get from entrepreneurs all the time - answered.

• How do you collect and use data to inform your customer experience function? 
• How to account for possible bias in the customer feedback - both positive and negative? 
• How to get started with customer experience as a SaaS startup founder?

Listen to the episode to get the answers to all these questions - and more.
