Shopify Expert: Don’t Take Your Foot Off The Gas, Read The Room & Technology Isn’t The Answer

Retain: The Customer Retention Podcast

In this Greatest Hits episode, Lauren DeSouza speaks with John Sime, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Shopify. They discuss John’s beginnings in a hotel and how it parallels his own work, how the ambiguity of marketing makes it exciting, why technology without talent is useless, and why you need to be able to read the room instead of constantly upselling.

John is a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Shopify, a leading global commerce company, providing trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. John is a product and technology-focused marketer, whose work has spanned e-commerce, consumer packaged goods, and tourism for B2C and B2B.

A past colleague of John’s had nothing but praise to say about him: “John’s ability to handle questions and effortlessly reassure key stakeholders throughout the project was unlike anything I have seen. He went out of his way to really understand the nuisances of the agricultural industry and our dealer network; this helped us innovate and build new solutions above and beyond the initial ask”
