Are You Leaving Your Customers Wanting More?
The world is changing at breakneck speed. That includes what customers consider when it comes to making a buying decision.
Living in the middle of a global health crisis brought on a new set of challenges for many. When there was a different way of doing business, it forced us to search out new sources and solutions.
That Was Then, This Is Now
Not that long ago we could solve a problem by having a conversation that would lead to a word-of-mouth referral. Now, when your exposure to others is limited, it drives you to go online to see what’s out there. What you find can be overwhelming. You need a filter to wade through the staggering amount of information and endless choices.
The new filter isn’t always about the best deal you can score.
Up until now, customers made the decision to buy based on things such as brand reputation and price.
We’ve now entered the era of customer experience. In fact, 86% of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience.
An observation by Dhaval Sarvaiya* notes “Great customer experience, even if it demands a slightly higher price will make even customers on a fence to make a purchase. In short, great customer experience can tune up the conversion rate for your business.
This includes mapping out a customer journey, providing digital self-service in the form of chatbots and FAQs, trial periods, and rewarding loyalty.
Your customer journey is only as strong as the platforms to deliver it.
