On the customer journey

"Thinking about the customer journey—and if we view it through the click model—it's about touching customers at different points. If you think of Session AI as a communication tool, it's a way to engage with customers throughout their journey. It doesn't always have to be a coupon. If you have a store credit card or a loyalty program, there's a point in the journey where you can introduce that. There's so much you can do with the technology, and I'm excited to continue working and growing with you guys." — Rick Egan, VP of Performance Marketing at Beyond
