ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Your brand needs to evolve. But what if you lose the customers who got you here?
Customer experience leader Melissa Eaton and five-time CMO Amy Heidersbach have both guided businesses through repositioning without alienating loyal customers.
Amy led marketing at PayPal and Visa, scaling a business unit to $1.2 billion. Melissa solves complex business problems by seeing patterns others miss.
Most companies treat repositioning like a marketing project. New logo, new tagline, done. But your marketing team can't fix what's broken in operations. Your sales team can't sell a story your product team hasn't bought into.
This episode covers:
- When to reposition (and when to ignore the noise)
- Why product, operations, finance, and HR need to be at the table
- Brand continuity vs. consistency (Amy's controversial take)
- Using employees and customers to carry your message
- Measuring success without optimizing the wrong metrics
This one is perfect for business owners ready to evolve without losing what's working.
