Therefore, all companies need to continuously change and pivot to keep up with their customers’ expectations and the rest of the business world. - A lot of companies may have an intuitive belief of where their customers are in terms of their needs, expectations, and pain points. Unfortunately, they don’t do the necessary research to keep their finger on the pulse of where their customer is right now. - Customer behavior is vital in keeping your business profitable – and there are more customer behaviors besides buying and coming back to buy again. - Many studies have revealed that while the emotional and rational side of a person plays into purchase decisions, the emotional side tends to be more powerful in purchasing behavior. - Customer love is the feeling that you can count on a brand to give you what you need and more, along with a feeling of alignment or spiritual connection.
