A discussion of customer engagement, modular technology and why loyalty is easier than Soccer
Achille Traore is the CEO of White Label Loyalty, an enterprise platform that provides engagement and retention solutions for brands looking to build deep relationships with their customers. Using smart technology architecture, brands can reward any type of activity with points, rewards, cashback, discounts, and more.
Achille brings a background in professional sports to the loyalty business, meaning he is keen on setting objectives, following a plan, and measuring results. He is competitive in a friendly sort of way and shares a fantastic story in this interview of his journey into the loyalty business and how his team at White Label Loyalty are enabling businesses to build loyalty at scale without drowning in tech. But that’s just the beginning. This conversation is wide ranging, and we touch on loyalty trends and get into the details of two great client case studies.
I'm enjoying getting to know some new (to me) CEOs in the loyalty and retail business for the first time. Achille Traore is delightful and White Label Loyalty warrants a close look.
