Networking Events' Seminar Topics

Seminar: What Your Customers Are Not Telling You
Presenter - Julie Graham - Founder - Distinction Consulting

Most businesses think they understand their customers - until growth stalls, margins tighten, or competitors start gaining ground.

This session explores what customers often don't say directly, why polite feedback can be misleading, and how deeper customer insight can reveal hidden value, blind spots, changing priorities, and stronger routes to growth.

Presented by Julie Graham, Founder and Lead Consultant of Distinction Consulting.

Julie is a strategic marketing expert and trusted board-level advisor known for uncovering customer insight that reduces risk and helps businesses make clearer growth decisions.

Distinction Consulting is a five-times FT award-winning management consultancy.
