Customer & Market Feedback Loop - Continuously improve operations and provide structured product improvements recommendations. - Translate insights into: • Operational improvements • Product feature requirements • Pricing & service policy updates Scaling & Team Building - Build an operations team including operations, customer support, and account management as volume increases. - Train new hires using operations processes you set up. - Set clear targets and review monthly.
