Personalization is a key element in doing business today. However, getting too personal can be off-putting in some situations. So, today we are going to look at how you can strike a balance between personalizing your interactions and offerings for customers without freaking them out.
The idea for this episode came from my recent trip to a fishing supplier near my home in Florida. It’s called Discount Tackle, and the manager knows me. When I go in, we chat to catch up, and then he recommends a lure for me to try that day. So, even though I know I can get the lure cheaper somewhere else, I appreciate the personalized service and I buy all my fishing gear there.
