Bringing Business to Retail · 2026-05-26 · 16 min
In this episode, Salena coaches Cathy, the owner of an online gifting business, through one of the most common struggles in retail and ecommerce - spending too much time and money on customers who may never become profitable. Cathy shares how she has been sending free gifts with purchase to customers in an effort to get people to try her products, along with the challenges she faces when corporate customers continually negotiate on price. Salena unpacks why customer experience strategies need to be backed by real data and ROI, and why retailers need to stop making decisions based on emotion alone. The conversation dives into the difference between B2C and corporate customer strategies, why customer qualification matters, and how low-value leads can quietly drain time, energy, and profit from a business. Salena explains the importance of understanding customer value, protecting profit margins, and focusing on the customers who are most likely to generate long-term growth.
