## Resource

Sendoso has solidified its position as a leader in the direct mail space by acquiring competitors like Alyce and Postal. But acquiring a company is only the first step. The real challenge is retaining those customers and expanding the relationship. Host Mason Cosby sits down with Kris Rudeegraap , Co-CEO of Sendoso , to discuss the specific playbook they used to merge three platforms into one without alienating their user base. ㅤ Kris Rudeegraap details a strategy built on patience and data.
