Watching the example with the bank was insightful, but this company got the buyer's email address, which makes it easy for them to retarget them by sending emails. I find it difficult to imagine a way of reaching potential buyers without an email address. How to reach them back without email address?

Analyzing and reporting how people are behaving on your website
Reading data accurately and figuring out how to use it is very challenging.

Out of all the fundamental steps, I would have to say the most difficult is without a doubt implementing tracking. That is due to the fact that there are just so many components, or in other words, lots of parts.

I think step 3 is probably the most difficult.  People do different things when they are searching.  Not everyone interacts the same.  Determining a pattern and then implementing the data I think is probably the most challenging.

For my opinion the most challenging part in the customer segmentation process is:

identifying the interactions to track that's because it depends on a lot of things such as campaigns and the goals you want to achieve when implementing the strategy

Definitely Implementing tracking. I dont like the mundane task of setting it up

"Defining the interactions you want to track" is the most challenging part because it has to be accomplished perfectly so you can continue to the next steps without facing difficulties.

I think the first step is the hardest because it needs you to dig deep to get critical information that should be accurate so as to make the other steps flow perfectly.

[MChua7]

The first step is the hardest, since it requires a deeper knowledge about the business and market. I work as a freelancer, and this is sometimes challenging, especially if the client himself does not work his market well enough!
