Let’s take a look at actionable insights about people’s irrational behavior as customers and the importance of the human touch in a digital transformation.

Buyer personas are often created on instinct instead of data. And let’s be honest, that doesn’t improve the customer experience. In some cases, buyer personas limit you to targeting one or two types of people, ignoring the different stages of the buyer cycle entirely. In fact, 60-70% of B2B marketers admit they don’t understand their buyers, which is exactly what buyer personas are designed to do.

People like choices. They just don’t like choosing, at least not when there are too many options. However, if you give people the option of shopping where there are only two options or where there is a wide selection, people will nearly always choose to shop where there are many choices. Then, when they get there, they can’t make a decision and feel frustrated and disappointed about it.

An illuminated “check engine” light is scary because it doesn’t offer any solution. There could be any number of reasons why that little beacon has been lit. For many, “check engine” may as well just say “car broken”—and that’s terrifying. The lesson is that our early warning systems are only as valuable as the responses they trigger. This is certainly true of the customer success health scores used to monitor the status of customers.

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.
