Episode notes
Scale Changes CRM Design
- B2C CRM differs from B2B by the sheer scale of interactions and need for automation.
- Brands must personalize at scale across channels while minimizing manual internal staffing.
Embed AI Across The Experience
- Use AI everywhere in product to help users accomplish tasks with small automations like send-time and product recommendations.
- Offer a continuum from 'do it with me' to 'do it for me' so both small businesses and enterprises benefit.
AI Agents Are Customer-Facing
- Consumers increasingly accept AI shopping agents and self-service over human support.
- Klaviyo's Customer Hub and conversational agents let mid-market brands offer these experiences by training on storefront data.
