Customer Experience Patterns Podcast How CX Teams Can Help Their Customers Step Off The Hedonic Treadmill
In the last episode, Megan Burns and I talk about the Hedonic Treadmill . It is a problem that looms ove customer experience improvement efforts. What do you do? Improve the experience, only to have that improvement raise expectations for customers as they adapt to the new normal?
Well, in this episode, I go describe two ways of improving customer experiences that will not activate the Hedonic Treadmill. You first set clearer expectations for the experience to come, and meet the expectations you have set. Rather than customers expecting you to raise the bar, they expect you to fulfill your promises. That's a great experience.
Second, empower and enable employees to deliver surprise and delight moments at scale. Human-powered moments feel more authentic and of-the-moment, and therefore something that they are less likely to adapt to and expect every time.
My LinkedIn Learning Course: How To Create Great Customer Experiences, goes into more detail on how to do this.
