Our focus in B2B is on how we design experiences that plug into positive emotions to build credibility, trust, loyalty and high lifetime value. We’ve known for years that emotion has an out-sized influence on buying decisions and customer relationships. It’s storytelling that brings out the emotions that motivates a customer. Rationality matters.

Brands used to look for a vendor who could do everything. Over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, and they added, added and added. Now they need all their vendors to work well together. That’s composable, and only some will make the cut. As customers — and your board — expect you to be in new channels and to rapidly adapt to shifts in the market, the need for true composability is more crucial than ever before.

Sometimes your customers have to wait. You would rather that wasn’t necessary, but it is reality. So, rather than ignoring this fact, I wanted to discuss how you can make waiting less terrible for your customers. Waiting is not ideal. But given that customers are waiting, what strategies can you deploy to make that waiting feel less terrible?

The value to your customers is in their personal interactions, not your “cash or credit” business transactions. Your relationship with your customers, not their purchase of your product or service, is where true value flows. QUI QUOTE: Relationship capital is the only currency of value to grow your business.

It stinks to wait around for something as a customer. Whether it’s in a waiting room or a hot sweaty line at a theme park, none of us are usually very excited about waiting around for something. However, it’s a fact of life that customers have accepted over time. It also stinks to know that your experience makes customers wait sometimes.

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.
