E239 | Closing the Feedback Loop: Cycle's Journey to Boost Customer Retention

CHURN FM

Today on the show we have Mehdi Boudoukhane, the CEO & co-founder of Cycle.

In this episode, Mehdi shares his transformative journey from a data scientist in Johannesburg to launching Cycle, a company that seamlessly connects customer feedback with product development to close the feedback loop and enhance retention.

We then delved into how Cycle leverages feedback not just for product prioritization but as a tool to spread empathy across organizations and build trust with users, ultimately fostering a more engaged and loyal customer base.

As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you. You can email me directly at [e-mail]. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter.
