It is a lovely mirror. But we aren’t going to get that much for it. Still, there it sits. Lorraine is demonstrating how the Endowment Effect works.

It’s not unlike having your firstborn away at college. Your child is in the dorm and on her own. For eighteen years, you’ve prepared her for adulthood. But you worry. Is she making friends?

I read that the average customer service call lasts 2 minutes longer than it needs to. Often, we don’t know how to get an angry customer to back down, or we struggle to move a customer from venting to a solution. Or we don’t want to be rude when trying to wrap things up with a friendly, talkative customer. The problem with longer calls is the impact it has on customers who are on hold waiting for help.

In customer retention, every engagement counts. There is no final effort in the days and weeks leading up to an anniversary that can overcome a poor relationship in the months prior. Rather, customer retention for SaaS enterprises is a result of the customer experience. It is an outcome based on an emotional reaction and connection to the performance of a supplier and the value a customer experiences through using that enterprise’s product.

A couple of years ago, I read a book that changed the way I thought about my business — and my life: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. My main takeaway was Gay’s framework for describing four “zones” that we all function within: The Zone of Incompetence: When you’re in this zone, you’re doing things you’re not good at — and that others are. Gay suggests we all avoid doing these tasks by delegating them to someone else or finding another workaround.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.
