What does ignoring customers’ preferences and habits mean?
Would it mean not to listen to them during negotiations or not to understand useful feedback for buyers in the company?
Whatever the meaning you want this activity to have, be aware that profound knowledge of customers during the selling activity remarkably facilitates the post-sale activity, which will bring customers back to the store or e-commerce, that is brand integration into customers’ life.
Without listening there is no integration, without integration there is no service, without service there is no customer retention.
