Psychological aspects behind customer experience

I wonder what lies behind customer decision making? What makes us feel satisfied or dissatisfied in customer experience?

I have learned that there is a lot of psychology behind decision making in general, which is also applicable in customer experience. Our previous experiences play a large role when defining customer satisfaction. But also other people's experiences are important, especially if I lack personal experience.

I will use a restaurant owned by my family as an example when I analyze theories and my own learning experience in the coming modules of this course. I'm hoping to learn how I can use social psychology as a tool to improve customer experience in the restaurant, and further more how to use satisfied customers as the best ambassadeurs for our business.

I would also like to learn tools how to turn a customer from dissatisfied to satisfied- what can we do to make an unhappy customer into a happy one?

Influnece and Influencers.

I'm looking forward to diving into the theories and examples about influence. Having read Cialdini's book: Influence: Science and practice I'm awed at how we are suckers for easy tricks! Flattery, social approval, copying others or wanting what we can't have are all easy and often transparent ways of influencing, yet we fall for it almost every time. My least favourite example is telephone salespeople: I simply hate it when someone calls me on the phone, interrupts me at my work or at home, tells me about a product or a service I'm not interested and I don't want. Still, too many times I end up saying yes to buying one, or signing up to a subscription! After the phone call I always curse to myself for being a sucker and not having learnt to say no! So this module I suppose will include a lot of soul searching, and hopefully I will learn some tool to you so that I want fall into the same trick again, at least not every time.... I'm also looking forward ...

influencing the restaurant customer

Here is a couple of ways we could use the principles of persuasion to improve customer experience in our restaurant: Authority: the chef could present the menu, preferably in person by the table in and tell something about for instance how the food is prepared. Or if the chef is not available in person e could write a description or a story about the menu composition in the menu for the customer to read about. Our sommelier can organize wine/beer/spirit tasting and tell about the products qualities. This engages the customer and at the same time educates/gives new information about the product while offering a pleasant customer experience. Scarcity: We can offer menus or drinks for limited time only. For instance special menu for Easter, Mother´s day, midsummer or Christmas. Also in the bar we can offer beer of the month, cocktail of the month or other special limited time offers. Food or drinks can also be offered on season, for instance fresh berries during the summer or m...

Making a customer happy

Lars E Olson: describes how positive emotions lead to: purchase decisions, loyalty and well—being. When we feel positive about the customer experience, it is easier for us to make the choice of purchase, further we feel loyal to the brand or product and stay loyal to it. Finally, we experience higher well-being.     Olson presents as the determinants of subjective wellbeing : ·          45% consist of personal characteristics (personality, genes) ·          45% how we spend our time (activities, behaviour, everyday life, goal process) ·          10% social & economic factors (gender, age, cohabiting. children, income, employment, education) In this perspective, it would be more useful to focus on understanding the customer’s personality and time-spending activities than social and economic factors, which are often more in focus when ana...
