Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Christopher Stark, the VP of Customer Experience & Business Value at Khoros. He worked at Nike for 5 years where he learned the importance of branding and one of their mottos was “If you have a body, you’re an athlete.” From there they decided they would focus on and represent the voice of the athlete and pay attention internally, which helped them understand better who they were and how they could better help their customer base. A lot of traditional programs that have been used for a while are now on the chopping block because of where things are at now and will have to be cut from what companies use.

“Chat wasn’t even really around 20 years ago. How can a metric that came out during that time, now with an era of TikTok and Linkedin, and text messaging now to communicate with customers, the metric’s just outdated and I tell everyone, ‘You know what? It could lead to growth, but you need to actually prove that out. Find the metric. If it’s not NPS, go find the metric that does lead to growth in your company and use that.’” 9:46
