“Retention is the foundation for growth. And I think it's one that's easy to overlook as you're focused on pipe gen and getting more customers. But if you invest in customer success advocacy and building a community, then you're going to continue to have a very successful business because you're going to retain and grow the customers that you already have.” — Amanda Malko
