Stop people pleasing. Your experience shouldn’t be for everyone

Stop people pleasing. Your experience shouldn’t be for everyone

Too many businesses chase more customers instead of the right customers. They cast the widest net possible, hoping to appeal to everyone and end up connecting with no one.

Tucker Wakabayashi puts it simply:

“Figure out who you are as a company, so that then your target customers and the customers that you want feel at home with you, instead of trying to please everybody.”

In this week’s CX Passport , Tucker explains why real customer loyalty doesn’t come from being everything to everyone—but from being the right fit for the right people.

Y’all…this wisdom comes from someone brand new to the field. He’s actually seeking his first CX role after university.

If Tucker, as new as he is, can get this concept right, why are so many brands trying to be everything to everybody?

So yeah…good CX actually is NOT about people pleasing. It’s about knowing who you are as a brand, and delivering on that promise.

Your Turn…

What brands do you know do a really good job of knowing who they are and not being anything else?

Put those tray tables up and buckle those seat belts. Let’s go!

It's a solid observation. Ideally companies create products and services that solve specific needs for specific types of customers. That knowledge should inform everything from product/service development to marketing to sales to adoption/support/renewal. The more aligned companies are to this approach the simpler and more cost effective it will be for them to operate and add value across the customer lifecycle
