  • #158 Beyond the Sale in the Age of AI
    Dec 19 2025

    What if the most valuable customer data doesn’t come before the sale—but after it?

    In this episode of XTraw AI, host Raghu Banda sits down with Ken Rapp, CEO of Blustream, to explore how AI is reshaping post-purchase engagement and transforming the ownership journey into a continuous, intelligent conversation.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why post-purchase is the new frontier: How brands lose critical signals after checkout—and how AI helps recover them through ongoing customer dialogue

    • The power of zero-party data: How AI-driven, personalized messaging builds trust, reduces churn, and strengthens long-term retention

    • From acquisition to ownership intelligence: How continuous feedback loops give brands a strategic edge beyond marketing and sales

    Tune in to hear how AI is changing not just how products are sold—but how they’re experienced.
