I’m not known for being quick on the uptake by those closest to me. A couple prime examples include long division and driving a stick-shift. When my only option was a manual transmission, my parents just sort of cut me loose on the streets of Rancho Cucamonga, California to learn to drive (Yes, I already had my driver’s license but on an automatic transmission).

I have been studying Behavioral Economics for a few years now and applying those principles to Customer Experience.

Samantha is preparing for a party she’s hosting this weekend. She’d like to purchase a standalone freezer so she can cook in advance.

Samantha takes 30 seconds to snap a photo of her available space and uploads it to the snap-to-purchase app.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

In the Bible of Self-Help Books, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” by Dale Carnegie, the author spends at least two out of every three chapters discussing an aspect of empathy. Two out of every three. The rest he spends on communication tactics you can employ to make it easier for people to follow your advice. But two out of three boils down to empathy: how to listen, how to consider someone else’s point of view, how to validate their point of view.

No. Save it? Nope. Give it to charity? Not a chance. I bought a fancy new fishing reel that I had my eye on but previously had felt was too expensive. It’s excellent, and I couldn’t be happier.

I recently met with my financial advisor and learned my portfolio was riskier than my wife’s. That’s always been the case; I have always been the one taking more risks.
