Customer behavior doesn't always make sense. As recent studies
have shown, people tend to base their decisions on more
subconscious, emotional desires than on rational, practical
choices. What's more, customers aren't able to tell you
accurately why they do what they do. Combining recent research
findings with real-world examples from his consulting practice on
customer experience, William J. Cusick examines how the
subconscious part of the brain drives the decisions and behavior of
every customer on a daily basis and introduces the concept of
"the irrational customer." All Customers Are Irrational
shows why businesses must change their approach to attracting and
retaining customers, and proposes ways they can alter their
strategies on everything from customer research, product design and
website development to call center management, employee
recruitment, and retail store layouts, by focusing on what
customers are actually doing instead of what they're saying.
