'Author: Jessica Cross By its very nature, lead scoring should be predictive – a potential customer’s score should predict whether that person is going to buy from you. Before I started working at FlipTop, a predictive lead scoring platform, I’d always tried to base scoring on customers we’d won, but I’m not a data scientist – the most I could determine was that certain industries or job titles were more likely than others to become customers.

You might think about climate change, or where the vegetables in your shopping basket are grown. But to sustain also means to maintain , support , or endure. So in marketing, the term takes on a slightly different meaning.

'Author: Rachel Yarnold Decisions, decisions! Even when we aren’t aware of them, we’re making them all the time. Many of those decisions we make easily, without even thinking – orange juice or coffee? Gym or happy hour? TV or sleep?

Some are made quickly, without much thought, while others can take weeks or months of research and deliberation to decide.
Speaker: Steve Worthy, MBA
The rapid rise of AI-powered displays, touchless technology, and sensory marketing is reshaping the future of in-store engagement. Yet for many retail executives, the real challenge is not identifying new tools - it is knowing which signals to trust, which inputs to prioritize, and how to architect decisions that elevate in-store leadership rather than dilute it.
