Interview: Metrics & Mentalities with Netrush COO Dan Pearce

Lessons on operational efficiency and customer centricity for the Health & Wellness Brandrunner

The world of modern commerce is fast-paced and ever-changing—which often means the status quo is no longer enough to drive brands’ growth. Just ask Netrush COO and Health & Wellness expert Dan Pearce, who was kind enough to sit down with me recently and talk about what natural products brands in particular can and should do to take advantage of this new reality.

Watch the full interview (below) to hear why it’s important to shift focus to new key metrics and mentalities, including why Brandrunners and business leaders need to “prosecute assumptions,” why it’s time to rethink the role and impact of Amazon, and everything else that’s involved in priming your organization for your next wave of growth in modern commerce.

The Netrush team has a combined 120-plus years of experience in the Health & Wellness industry. We bring that experience and passion to work every day, partnering with natural products brands to help accelerate their ecommerce businesses. Want to learn more? Contact Netrush and let's get started.
