Today we transcend the plateaus of current customer experience understanding with Colin Shaw, founder of Beyond Philosophy and co-author of The Intuitive Customer. Creating loyalty with The Intuitive Customer So many companies are focusing on customer experience, yet so many are getting it wrong! That’s why as practitioners in the customer experience field, we’re delighted to interview Colin Shaw to discuss his new book, The Intuitive Customer. We put so much effort into understanding the rational side of the experience, such as time on call and product delivery, we often neglect the irrational side, which is centered on emotion. Unfortunately, this is the side of the experience customers will remember, and what will ultimately influence their decisions. “Paying sole attention to a rational experience,” says Colin, “is at the root cause of why organizations are getting this stuff wrong.” In this interview, Colin shares many of our favorite highlights from The Intuitive Customer. He explains how new academic research and psychology play a critical role in delivering great customer experiences, and how to connect the two. He drills down to the root causes of the general lack of real understanding companies have about their real customers. “The only way to build customer loyalty is through customers’ memories.” -Colin Shaw It’s not just about creating great experiences, but about creating good memories. You can deliver an outstanding customer experience, and yet still be remembered for the one low point in the journey. What do you want to be remembered for? “We go to the bank and they put pens on chains, which says, ‘We don’t trust you.” -Colin Shaw How can you use psychology and research to create memories that customers will want to return to? How can you transcend the common pleaters of customer experience understanding today? In this episode, we cover this and much more than we can list here. Listen in!
