The Intuitive Customer - Helping You Improve Your Customer Experience To Gain Growth


Mar 23, 2024

"What's the one thing we need for a stellar Customer Experience?" 

 

If we had a dollar for every time clients asked us this, we’d, well, have quite a few dollars. 

 

The question is understandable. This unspoken desire for a silver bullet solution echoes across industries. We all want a silver bullet solution that will fix our problems, whether for weight loss, financial growth, or, in Colin’s case, for playing the guitar. 

 

The problem is that there isn’t one for CX improvement. Or guitar, frankly. Achieving mastery in guitar isn't about shortcuts—it's about hours and hours of practice. Likewise, crafting a remarkable CX demands dedicated effort, not a quick fix. Yet, the allure of a silver bullet persists.

 

The quest for a single, transformative action stems from a human penchant for simplicity, urgency for instant results, and an aversion to complexity. Many wish to sidestep the nuanced challenges of CX improvement, preferring an easy remedy. It's a journey fueled by a lack of CX expertise, feeling overwhelmed by the myriad CX considerations, and the appeal of past CX success stories with simple solutions.

 

In this episode, we explore seven reasons we want silver bullet solutions. Perhaps more importantly, we offer a realistic perspective on embracing the truth: CX improvement demands dedication and a holistic approach. By understanding the reasons behind the silver bullet mindset, businesses can navigate their CX journey with a clearer understanding and realistic expectations.

 

In this episode you will discover:

 

  • Why our psychology drives us to crave straightforward solutions, overlooking the intricacies of CX enhancement.

  • How our love for immediate results fuels the search for quick fixes and why we shy away from the multifaceted challenges in CX, seeking simplified remedies.

  • What guitar solo Colin would play if he had a magic wand, or, magic guitar pick. 

  • The influence of exceptional cases and how they reinforce the belief in silver bullet solutions.

  • How our old pal Risk Aversion weighs in by leading us to seek shortcuts instead of embracing comprehensive CX strategies.
