“Without big data, you are blind and deaf and in the middle of a freeway.”
According to McKinsey, “Intensive users of customer analytics are 23 times more likely to clearly outperform their competitors in terms of new customer acquisition, than non-intensive users, and nine times more likely to surpass them in customer loyalty.”
