💬Ask Eyal

Eyal Danon is the President and Founder of Ignite Advisory Group, and a world-renowned expert on customer advisory boards. 

Question: Eyal: Should we continue recruiting CAB members during the Coronavirus pandemic?

Answer: Yes! We counsel our clients to always be on the lookout for new members to join their CAB programs. After all, you may be experiencing some inevitable attrition of members who have to drop out of your program, move to new roles, or perhaps have long fulfilled their initial commitments. New CAB members can provide fresh perspectives, ideas, and input to your company – and a jolt of energy to your CAB program. With the current pandemic, many businesses are looking for proactive guidance from their vendors, and desire to engage with their peers to learn how to best operate in the ‘new normal’ as companies emerge from the crisis and get back to work.
