Prose was recently featured in DevX and Competitive Insight, where Justin Belmont, CEO & Founder, shared insights on how businesses can elevate their marketing and sales strategies. This article explores effective ways to stay ahead of industry trends and leverage customer feedback for continuous growth. Belmont’s perspective highlights the importance of blending modern resources with customer-centric insights to refine and optimize business practices.
Here’s what Justin had to say:
Use diverse resources to stay ahead of trends
Topic: Staying current with marketing and sales strategies
Quote: "Keeping up with marketing and sales trends is all about finding the right mix of resources that don’t suck. I’m hooked on newsletters like Marketing Brew—quick, snappy, and no fluff. LinkedIn and Twitter are gold mines if you follow the right people. Podcasts like 'The Marketing Millennials' are perfect for catching up while you’re on the move. And real talk? The best insights come from Slack groups and forums where people spill what’s actually working. Stay curious and keep your sources fresh—no one wants to sound like last year’s playbook."

Use NPS data to identify and resolve customer pain points
Topic: Leveraging customer feedback for business growth
Quote: "We've used NPS (Net Promoter Score) data to help one of our clients identify blind spots in their customer experience. After collecting feedback, we noticed a trend where customers loved the service but felt the communication could be clearer during project updates. We shared this insight with the client and helped them refine their processes, setting up more frequent check-ins and clearer expectations. The result? A boost in client satisfaction and retention, plus a more streamlined workflow. NPS data gives you that direct line to customer sentiment, and when you listen closely, it helps fine-tune your approach and uncover areas for real growth."
