Customer U is a blog dedicated to increasing the insights that can come from observing and analyzing customer perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, feedback, and experiences. I have an insatiable desire for trying to understand why people do what they do. That desire is never satisfied because as humans we are never 100% predictable or consistent – and that’s what makes it fun!
I’ve spent my entire working career in customer-facing positions, from marketing to business development to customer service. It’s all I know and what I do. I’ve worked in big companies and small ones, from Corning to Congruity. My focus is on helping companies find the RIGHT customers, keep them longer, and make them more profitable.
My favorite quote about customers comes from former CEO of GE, Jack Welch:
“You have only two sources of competitive advantage:
The ability to learn more about your customers faster than the competition and,
The ability to turn that learning into action faster than your competition.”

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your blog!
I’m actually working on an event called Customer Feedback Week and wanted to know if you wanted to be a media partner for it. Your blog has been a great help in getting more insight on different perspectives on the topic.
If you’re curious, our site is http://www.iqpc.com/us/customerfeedback and we offer press passes to cover the event.
Also, we can feature your blog on our press center, list you as a media partner, etc, negotiate different promotions.
Let me know what you think! Thanks so much.
Best,
Kim
