How to Connect With Your Customers on an Emotional Level and Drive Brand Loyalty

 

Practicality is essential. Great ideas you can’t do anything with in the real world are a waste of time.

Bob Black, one of our avid podcast listeners, likes our concepts about eliciting particular customer emotions. But he doesn’t know how to do that in practical steps. So, this episode gives them to him.

Bob isn’t alone. Numerous organizations struggle with eliciting specific emotions in their customers. While most acknowledge the significance of customer emotions in shaping experiences, many falter when asked about the particular emotions they aim to evoke. Often, organizations gravitate towards vague terms like “positive” or “favorable.” These are not emotions; they are adjectives that describe emotions.

So, the first practical step in evoking a specific emotion is pretty simple: One must have a specific emotion in mind to evoke it.

In this episode, we dive deeper into the step-by-step process of evoking specific customer emotions. We also discuss how training, AI technology, and tried and true low-tech mystery shopping can help, too.
