Retention, Personalization, and the Power of Emotions - a conversation with Tom Burrell

Retention, Personalization, and the Power of Emotions - a conversation with Tom Burrell

In this episode of The Hello $Firstname Personalization Podcast, Rasmus Houlind sits down with Tom Burrell, founder of Retention Coach, to explore how businesses can turn retention strategies into a powerful growth engine. Drawing on a career spanning roles at Manchester United, DAZN, and TalkTalk, Tom shares actionable insights into why retention is often undervalued—and how personalization can change the game.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How personalized onboarding journeys can boost retention by 10% or more
  • Why the "content crisis" in retention is holding businesses back—and how to overcome it
  • The role of GenAI in creating emotionally engaging, hyper-personalized customer experiences

💬 "Retention isn’t just about keeping customers; it’s about connecting with them emotionally, understanding their motivations, and inspiring loyalty," Tom explains.

Whether you’re in subscriptions, e-commerce, or CRM, this episode is packed with insights to help you rethink retention strategies for 2025 and beyond.
