4:35 PM Panel: Beyond Fixing Tickets: Using Customer Feedback to Build Better Digital Journeys

Customer feedback is only valuable if it leads to durable change, not one-off fixes. In this session, you’ll learn how B2B teams can capture the right signals, prioritize what matters, and convert insights into a roadmap that improves the digital journey from search to checkout while keeping internal teams aligned and accountable.

    • Which feedback signals to trust (and how to combine qual and quant for a clearer picture)
    • A practical prioritization approach to move from “requests” to an actionable roadmap
    • How to create cross-team accountability so changes actually ship and stick
