Loren Padelford (GM of Revenue at Shopify) joined Scott Britton and Andrei Newman on the Business Is Human podcast.
Here are some key takeaways from the conversation:
-
Being customer-centric is the best moat.
-
If you want generational customers, you cannot say yes to their every request.
-
Optimizing for short-term revenue leads to long-term churn.
-
The better you integrate and partner with others, the faster you become essential in the market.
-
Chasing competition often distracts you from your own strategy.
-
Market segmentation is a lie that legacy applications have kept going to perpetuate their pricing models.
