The range of work we do as product managers is so broad that we inevitably end up finding inspiration from all sorts of sources, whether it’s books on business strategy or essays on design. However, the book that has given me the most insight into the nature of my work is somewhat unlikely – psychologist Daniel Kahneman ’s non-fiction bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow. “Our brain has two very distinct modes of thought: System 1 (fast, automatic, and impulsive) and System 2 (slow, consciou

A practical guide to Customer decision making. When the Nobel-prize winning economist professor Daniel Kahneman wrote his book Thinking Fast and Slow , he introduced the concept that we had two ways of thinking about things. He named them System 1 and System 2. The two systems work together to help us make decisions about things. When we applied these concepts to decision-making in Customer Experience for our book, The Intuitive Customer, we renamed them.

? ?. You’ve probably heard the parable of the six blind men and the elephant: One touches the trunk and says, “It’s a snake.” Another, touching a leg, disagrees: “No, it’s not! It’s a tree.”. Another feels the ear and mistakes it for a fan. The one touching the body is sure he’s run into a wall. The one with tail in hand knows he’s holding a rope. And the last one, with his hand on a tusk, is certain he’s touching a spear.

As retail contact center leaders gear up for the busiest time of the year, big data may be the last thing on their minds.

Acting on customer experience feedback gives you a competitive advantage. No other enterprise has access to the information you can gather from your customers. No one else gets to have a personal conversation with the very people your product is designed to serve. When you listen to what your customers tell you and incorporate their feedback, you encourage loyalty in your existing customers and create a customer experience that will attract others to your product.

Fall leaves are a lot like customers. They typically don’t depart simply due to the lure of a competitor like gravity invites a leaf to the ground. They are pushed out by the negative force of poor service or indifferent service. All my life I thought that fall leaves departed the tree because they got too old to hang onto the branch and gravity bested their grasp.

Happy Customer Service Week! One of the things I feel most strongly about is that customer service professionals should never ever be sworn at, demeaned or abused. Sometimes agents feel powerless, and can’t tell a customer they’ve crossed the line. Agents are afraid that if the abuse is not accepted with a smile they’ll lose their job. So they swallow the pain to get through the day, to get that paycheck.

As a CSM or customer success leader, you know the importance of success – not just for your customers, but for your department and your business as a whole. But what is the best way to define success in these avenues? Success isn’t based on “we think” or “we feel”. It’s based on data. And to get good data, you have to have good metrics in place. In the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) space, it’s important to follow the right data points in order to make smart, customer focused decisions.
