How to empower the voice of the customer through reviews with Ryan Bonnici


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of The SaaS Revolution Show, Ryan Bonnici, CMO at G2Crowd talks about empowering the voice of the customer in marketing activities.

Before Ryan headed the marketing activities of G2Crowd, he used it as one of two main sources of figuring out whether to apply for a certain company. The kind of reviews a company got was a clear indication of upward growth or lack thereof. This is how he would determine if it was worth the leap.

Ryan career choices have taken him from ExactTarget and Salesforce all the way to HubSpot and now, G2Crowd. Through all that he has tasted very different flavours of marketing - from spending big enterprise budgets to building a frugality ROI muscle in SMBs. As a marketplace which is as much about B2C as it is about B2B, in G2Crowd Ryan gets to combine skills from each of his jobs. And he loves it. What unites his efforts is empowering the voice of the customer through reviews.

Listen on to hear:

  • How the customer voice evolves as a company grows and how to be prepared for some common pitfalls
  • Where to start with getting reviews
  • How to measure the effect of word-of-mouth
  • At SaaStock Ryan will take us through his decade-long experience in marketing, picking up the five most important lessons he learned.
