The problem is, they did not come away believers.
When your customers finally finish the transaction, sign off, shut down, wrap up, peace out, pay the check, walk out the door and go back to their busy lives, here’s powerful question worth asking:
What did the experience you offer make people believe in again?
What did your company restore people’s faith in? What idea, that customers were convinced was dead, did your brand bring back to life? What experience, that people avoided as a badge of honor, are they now obsessed with? What feeling, that people had lost contact with, did you reignite inside of them? What possibility, that people had long since given up on, did you made real once again?
Search a few review sites, and you’ll find this question answered in spades.
A tortured soul who goes to hypnotherapy believes in herself again. A jaded couple who takes a romantic excursion believes in romance again. A cynical guest who stays at a bed and breakfast believes in the service industry again. A terminated employee who flawlessly relocates across the country believes in humanity again. A cooking snob who dines at an amazing restaurant believes in eating out again.
Sell that.
Because when people believe, it’s really hard to leave.
