In this episode, Pete and Adam sit down with Amy Anzel, founder of Hollywood Browzer Beauty, to unpack what really happens when you stop avoiding complaints and start using them to grow.
Amy’s taken her beauty brand from in-store demos to 20+ markets, built a fiercely loyal global customer base, and turned even the sharpest feedback into stronger retention and repeat sales.
She’s sharp (literally), candid and doesn’t sugar-coat the realities of scaling – or what she really thinks of business reality TV...
They cover:
– Why your angriest customers are often your most valuable– What actually happens when you listen (instead of react)– How Hollywood Browzer used CX to drive international growth– The difference between moaners and meaningful insight– And why being too perfect can backfire in DTC
This episode is for any eCom operator who’s ever rage-closed a Trustpilot tab, drafted a spicy response, or wondered if CX really makes a difference.
(Spoiler: it does.)
