Delivering eCommerce is a weekly podcast & live stream hosted by me, Chris Parsons. Along with industry experts around the globe and my 20 years plus in retail, we tell our stories and have some fun along the way. Today's interview is with Steve Croth from Zip.co #BNPL #eCommerce #retail Chris Parsons https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisaparsons/ Steve Croth Executive with 20+ years experience building and growing B2B (SaaS, Software) & B2B2C (eCommerce, Marketplaces) technology businesses. There’s never been a more exciting time to work. The advancement of technology and a resurgence in the entrepreneurial spirit are driving new ways of thinking and operating, new business models, and new paths to growth. As an innovator and business builder in the tech space, I’ve experienced the highs and lows, and day-to-day challenges that come with doing something different or new. I’ve founded two businesses, have helped dozens of companies (both large and small), and have also worked for leading tech companies like IBM and Microsoft. Over my career, I’ve gained deep experience building brands, inventing and enhancing products, and driving growth and operational efficiency in B2B and B2B2C tech businesses. I obsess over markets, customers and partners – and sweat the details of the experience. I use data and shared goals to create trust, provide transparency, and drive cohesion, alignment and teaming. Automation technology (RPA, Marketing Automation, Sales Enablement) and process underpins everything I do; I use it to fix leaky buckets, reduce churn, drive industry leading conversion rates and growth, reduce waste and inefficiency, and direct human activity where it belongs. I truly love helping and inspiring others, and using my experience to improve both top line and bottom line results. So, if you or anyone you know wants to grow or improve their business - drop me a line. I’m always happy to meet new people, share what I’ve learned, and help others improve.

Raji Kalra, Co-founder and CEO of Peopletail, an innovative online product review platform, is a driven individual with a vision to change the retail/consumer industry as we know it. Entering into the retail industry in 2008, Raji and his team started working with the well-known company Whole Foods Market, who was looking for a team to manage in-store digital communications. This meant using flat panel TV screens to use as a communication medium in the store. Each department within the store was going to have its own TV station, in which they called the network “the marketplace station.” Faced with the challenge of creating a communication medium that followed the goals of keeping Whole Foods an environmentally “clean” store, and incorporating promotions throughout the store, Raji exemplified his innovative marketing skill set and successfully accomplished this task.
