Episode Summary

Top Takeaways:-      The product or service you sell isn’t actually your product—the experience you provide your customers and clients is your product! In short, the experience is your product.-      Your goal should be to create a beautiful product, and then elevate that product to another level through the amazing experience you provide.-      Salespeople must consider the tactics they’re using on their customers and ask themselves if those tactics would work on themselves. If you wouldn’t respond well to a certain tactic, odds are your customer won’t either.-      Customers often make purchasing decisions based on subconscious factors rather than specific, tangible metrics. Often, it comes down to the customer’s experience and how a business made them feel.-      Experience beats virtually everything else. When everything else is equal, the experience is what will set your business apart.-      Think about not only what contributes to a great experience, but also about what detracts from that experience. Work to eliminate those factors for your customers.-      Traditional sales “closing tactics” can actually become a detractor to the overall experience. Studies have shown that customers will resist when they feel their freedom to choose is restricted.-      Remember that a good experience is one without friction!-      Oftentimes, the products and apps that consumers love most (because of the way they’re designed) are designed by companies with an amazing culture and amazing employees. An amazing experience is pervasive.Quote:“The experience is the product, and everything is about that experience.
