Upping the ante: Using the science of decision-making for effective customer engagement

Service providers understand the need to personalize messages to their customers to improve engagement and build loyalty. However, customers are constantly reacting and adjusting to their changing circumstances, requiring us to continuously learn and adapt to truly understand and empathize with them. Adjusting interactions to engage with customers based on behavior is true hyper-personalization. Companies that fail to adapt and curate their engagement strategies may miss an opportunity to create and keep customers for life.

During the TRMA 2022 Spring Meeting, we presented that behavioral science is the study of decision making, specifically around perceptions, attitudes and behaviors. In this session, we would build off that foundation and explore how behavioral engagement uses knowledge of behavior and decision making and applies it to customer interactions. Utilizing behavioral science to engage with customers provides service providers with the ability to hyper-personalize their outreaches.

Hyper-personalization should go beyond typical tailored content and demonstrate that you understand and empathize with the customer. Every action a customer takes tells you more about their perceptions, attitudes and behaviors, which equips you with a deep understanding of your customers so you can further personalize every interaction

By utilizing behavioral science to engage with impact, companies can build digital engagement strategies based on their customers’ unique motivations, leveraging concepts such as empathy and urgency to achieve better results and build stronger customer relationships.
