Jack and Matt dive into some of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing the retail energy industry today, including:

• How suppliers can differentiate in an increasingly commoditized marketplace -- where the product itself doesn’t change, but everything around it does

• The growing importance of customer advocacy and long-term value creation

• The impact of AI and automation on retail energy operations and marketing

• Strategies for reducing customer churn and improving engagement

• Why innovation and branding matter more than ever in competitive energy markets
