About this event
The majority of us work in startups and can only dream about reaching the dizzying heights of Unicorn status.
But Lucas Bergmans is here to tell us the inside secrets and story of how Cazoo, the UK’s fastest ever Unicorn, did just that.
He’ll be discussing…
🚀Understanding customer needs:
Having a challenger mindset with ‘strategic naivety’
Going deep on the customer journey’s highs and lows
Being clear on where you can over-deliver for the customer, and where you can’t
👀Being obsessed with the customer experience:
Map out the gold standard experience
Listen and constantly evolve & improve
Fix the ‘unhappy paths’
Make it genuinely scalable
📈Investing in the brand from the start:
Be clear on the metrics of success
The ROI benefits are broad: volume of traffic, conversion rate, future efficiency, quality of traffic mix
Get to grips with ROI as soon as you can.
📣Why company values matter:
Every department can impact the customer experience and brand
Embed the values with everyone from day one
More than just posters on the wall!
