• Gather ground-level insights: Regularly engage directly with drivers and delivery partners through field visits and focus groups to gauge comprehension, test communication styles, and feed ground insights back into content creation
• Optimise channel performance: Track driver feedback loops and support ticket trends to continuously measure and improve message accuracy and support deflection goals.
