Key Takeaways
1. Customer Experience Matters.
“Our consumer is changing and if we don’t realize it, we are going to be left behind.”
2. Obstacle or Opportunity?
The everchanging consumer is the greatest opportunity. Are we changing with them?
How does the experience economy impact housing?
How do consumers relate to brands and the purchasing experience?
How can we earn their trust?
3. Strive for Diversity of Thought.
Look around the room, do we represent the consumer of tomorrow… Do we get it?
“If we don’t understand the priorities of these consumers [of the future], then how do we make sure we deliver that home to them in the most efficient way possible—before we even talk about how we BUILD IT in the most efficient way.”
4. Love the Customer
Treating people with respect is free. Our industry is perceived 2nd to car sales. Customer experience can be the real gamechanger.
The only sustainable competitive advantage is to KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS and use that knowledge to deliver a consistent and rewarding experience that translates into preference for you and referrals.
