Understanding your customers starts with listening to their needs. In practice, this means conducting ongoing conversations with your customers, using their preferred channels and delivering the messaging they appreciate. Meesho, a leading online shopping and reselling platform, is taking it a giant step further by turning customer listening into a company-wide mission. In episode #477, part one of a two-parter, our host Peggy Anne Salz speaks with Kirti Varun Avasarala, Meesho Chief Product Officer, about innovative marketing approaches paying huge dividends. He shares why “Listen or Die” is the golden rule at Meesho. He also reveals the benefits of following a disruptive strategy that puts lower pricing ahead of convenient commerce. (Watch out for part 2, where we talk about effective push notifications and how to deliver shopping experiences that are off the charts.)
