Waiting is another type of cost to the customer. It occurred to me that when you ask a customer to wait, it’s for your benefit, not the customers. One can balance the wait cost with the value provided to customers. No one knows how long a customer spends doing things. Absolutely. Disney does.

One of my clients has done an excellent job in the last couple of years improving their customer experience. They focused their attention on the customer-facing teams at first. That would leave one group with a customer-centric mindset and the rest without one. We all know happy employees make happy customers.

The idea is that you put yourself in the customer’s position and see the situation through their eyes. This is good advice for those who have customer-facing responsibilities. It’s hard to separate ourselves from what we think the customer perceives versus what the customer actually experiences. I said it was humorous.
