It’s a secret
No one is a mind reader, least of all your customers. They have other things going on in their lives.
Red flags
Don’t ignore the red flags. You’ll regret it if you do.
Why am I not special anymore?
Creating good quality products can be difficult, but creating a good quality experience is not and the payoff is well worth it.
“Helpful” isn’t the same as “controlling”
To be truly “helpful,” an organization must understand the customer’s needs and make life eaiser for them. Not more difficult.
“Personal Touch”?
Automation is great. It is. It’s a wonderful time saver, but it can also keep you away from your customers. And then your customers might stay away from you.
Just so you know, you’re doing it wrong
There’s a way to work with customers that guides them to the result you want without offending or pushing them away.

Creativity
Once you know your why, the how will reveal itself.
Show Me
If you want them to stick with you, you have to stick with them.
Um, Aren’t You Aware That There’s a Pandemic?
Customer loyalty cannot survive if customers don’t think you care. And this company is showing its customers how little it cares.
Keep it Consistent
A small restaurant listed on its website the new protocols it had developed to manage the pandemic. However, no one working inside the restaurant seemed to know about them.
Wait, What Kind of Business is This?
If you can’t stand sweat, you probably shouldn’t run a fitness studio. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
A Home Run
They seemed to understand what their customers might be feeling, not just the problem they were having.
They are right in front of you
So when the world turned upside down last year, this organization didn’t know what to keep and what to let go of.
Anticipate needs
Because of this fact, the organization knew that buying habits might also change.
Preparation is everything
This is a prime example of an organization being proactive – create a customer experience that prevents problems before they happen.
Thanks, but no thanks
In theory, it was a terrific idea. In reality, it wasn’t.
