Whenever I talk about Customer Experience with audiences, I begin by explaining that customers do not buy things rationally. Customers buy things emotionally and then justify the purchase with logic. Irrationality and data don’t mix. However, there are ways that people’s irrational behavior reveals a rational pattern in the data. 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.

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.

Excellent customer service is a foundational component of a great customer experience. In customer service, there is a right way to do things—and a wrong way.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong.

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.
