CX Is Hitting A Brick Wall

And as I have been saying since 2002 when I started up my Customer Experience Consultancy, emotions influence over half of any Customer Experience outcome. In 2002, we didn’t have the wearable biometric tech to track emotions back then, nor did we think to do something as unusual as wiring people’s facial muscles so we could simulate emotions with programmed electronic currents. We live in the data age. Data is collected about our personal behavior everywhere.

Having worked in Customer Experience since 2002, I may be too much of a purist. I am apprehensive about my industry. However, for a while now, I have been writing about the decline and dilution of the discipline of Customer Experience. From changing titles but not behavior to a poor understanding of what customers want, the trends are troublesome. My concerns only grow as we roll into 2018. I can sum it up with two examples.

3 Ways Customers’ Minds Plays Tricks on Them

AUGUST 18, 2015

In “ Thinking Fast and Slow ,” Professor Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences recipient in 2002, explores why our mind plays tricks on us. I often say people are irrational, but only because they are. We all do irrational things. We like to think we make logical decisions based on rational thinking all the time, but we don’t. The truth is, your mind plays tricks on you every day, and many times, it’s in one of three ways.

Tennis great Jimmy Connors famously said, “I hate to lose more than I love to win.”. His aversion to loss isn’t limited to elite athletes. Distaste for losing motivates politicians, gamblers, businesspeople and importantly, ordinary consumers.
