“The path of least resistance is the best path to build the customer journey”
-George Bryant

This is one interview you’re going to need a pen and paper to capture some thoughts and insights that may revolutionize the entire way you think about your customer journey. George focuses on finding the right pockets to insert relationships and how prioritizing that is what builds a business in this transactional world.

Key points for your customer relationships to beat algorithms:

  • Grabbing customer attention without action will make people move away from you

  • The customer journey is better with simplicity, don’t overwhelm your customer

  • The after state of the customer journey is more important than features and benefits

  • In this episode, George breaks down how he defines the customer journey and why focusing your attention on making the container of experience you give the customer, in service of getting them closer to their desired outcome, is the key. You have to keep it simple and digestible for your customer. 

    “Your offer is not the solution. Your offer is just the path that somebody is taking to achieve an after state.” -George Bryant
