Clued in : How to Keep Customers Coming Back Again and Again

Good, bad, or indifferent, every customer has an experience with your company and the products, or services you provide.

But, few businesses really manage that customer experience... so they lose the chance to transform customers into lifetime customers.

In this book, Lou Carbone shows exactly how to engineer world-class customer experiences, one clue at a time.

Carbone draws on the latest neuroscientific research to show how customers transform physical and emotional sensations into powerful perceptions of your business... perceptions that crystallize into attitudes that dictate everything from satisfaction to loyalty. And, he explains how to assess and audit existing customer experiences, design and implement new ones... and "steward" them over time, to ensure that they remain outstanding, no matter how your customers change.

The features are: experience as a value proposition; build systems that reflect your customers' deepest needs and desires; the mouse vs. the orange roof; why Disney succeeded and Howard Johnson's failed; the disciplines of experience management; experience assessment, auditing, designing, implementation, and more; experience stewardship for the long term freCustomer experience is your best opportunity for differentiation... often, your only opportunity. "Clued In" gives you the tools to craft an outstanding customer experience - no matter what you sell, or who you sell it to.

Lou Carbone reveals the sensory building blocks of experience you're already delivering to customers, whether you know it or not.

He shows how to re-craft these "clues" into a consistent, powerful experience that leads directly to customer preference... a preference that can help you differentiate practically anything.

Carbone covers the entire process, hands-on: organizing your "experience design" team... evaluating the experience you're already delivering... designing manageable clues that connect with customer desire... rolling out new experiences... and making customer experience both sustainable and profitable.

Your company needs to move from creating great products and services to creating great experiences.
