Our guest this week is Jennifer Clinehens, founder of behavioural science based customer experience consultancy Choice Hacking. Choice Hacking is a consultancy, book, podcast and TikTok sensation with millions of views. In this episode Jennifer explains how to use behavioural science to improve our customer/patient's experience. Jennifer shares how customer journey mapping can be used to think beyond the nudge and elevate conversations around behavioural science in organisations. She also discusses how behavioural science can be used to strategically navigate the psychological biases that exist in customer journeys. Jen uses Netflix to demonstrate what she means and includes the cocktail party effect and peak end rule. Quote from Jen “you can't really have a culture where behavioural science is taken seriously without a culture where experimentation is also taken seriously.” Jen Clinehens No every moment punches at the same weight shouldn't your marketing budget be doubling down on understanding them” How are people creating memories, the experiences they are creating.” Jen Clinehans Three aha moments The Cocktail party effect is the bias that drives personalisation. It claims that our brains will focus in on the information that is most relevant to them. In other words it will zone in on cues such as your name. Netflix shows us the many opportunities to personalise when you plan across the whole customer experience. Have you ever been lured in to a show using this tactics. (I have!) Top 10 Because you watched Trending (herding bias also) When reviewing or reflecting on an experience people don't average out the experience they will focus in on the peak and the end. Aka the Peak End rule. Know your peaks and invest accordingly.

Welcome to the Creative Studio podcast, where we conduct experiments with podcasting! Throughout this season, we have explored how to create a narrative or journalistic style podcast. This is the tenth and final episode in this series. Today, we will hear from several of our special guests regarding resources to help you create narrative audio. We’ll also hear some general tips from them that will also help throughout this process. Today’s guests are: Bryan Orr Corey Coates Daniel J.  Lewis Doc Kennedy Jessica Rhodes Jessica Abel Dave Jackson Erik K. Johnson Rye Taylor I also want to thank Else Escobar and Geoff Woods for being guests this season as well. As we wrap up this episode and series, I want to invite you to get a free gift. I have put a detailed PDF together with everything mentioned in this episode. To get this, you don’t even have to enter your email address – just click the link to download the PDF right away. I know that this episode and corresponding PDF doesn’t have everything we covered in this series, but if you’d be interested in getting something with all of this either in written form or video, please let me know! I really want to thank you for taking the time to listen to this podcast. If this series has helped you, I really want to hear from you. You can go to the contact page or send me an email directly to joshua@podcastguy.co. Now, as we are wrapping up season 4, I am working on some things for season 5. The tagline for this podcast is “podcasting experiments,” so I’d like to follow that vein and interview podcasters that are creating podcasts that are different from the “standard” podcasts. Maybe it’s the format that they use. Or the combination of formats they use. Or maybe it’s how they record the podcast. Or maybe it’s the way they combine niches to create a new niche. I’m going to be on the lookout for such podcasters, but I’m open to suggestions. If you or someone you know is creating a podcast that you think is a little different from the rest, please let me know.

Ian Cleary is an award winning tech blogger and CEO of RazorSocial.com.  He is best known as the social media tools guy. Talking about building a blog platform, reaching influencers, and social media tools NBN 36 Show Notes Join the NBN Club today and meet 100 smart minds who want to help you achieve your professional goals. Listen to episode 36 in iTunes or Stitcher. Don't be shy record your audio comment or networking tip here. Please pick up a copy of my book, New Business Networking: How to Effectively Grow Your Business Network Using Online and Offline Methods. Ian and I begin by talking about Irish people, naturally (I lived in Ireland for a few years). After 18 months of launching, RazorSocial.com was receiving over 100,000 unique visits per month. Pick your blog niche that you have a strong interest and knowledge in, and one that isn't really occupied by anyone else. Ian created a list of 100 people he wanted to be friends with. He left to the States every month to attend conferences and network to promote his blog. The relationships with the right people were more important than the writing. Without the relationships nothing would have happened. Ian's focus is always to determine how he can help someone. The more you help people, the more people want to help you. Mike Stelzner let Ian provide guest blog posts on Social Media Examiner, which led people to his site. Ian wrote guest posts on as many influential blogs as possible (close to 100). My free blogging tutorial. It takes 10 minutes and is easier than you think. Check it out. How content marketing applies to real estate agents. Which social network would Ian focus on most? You always want to get people back to your website. As a small business you don't have time to be everywhere. Get one channel working for you first. SocialBro - provides really good filters to find people on Twitter. Ian wrote a blog post on a topic and used SocialBro to search bios for influential people who would be interested in his blog topic. He then reached out to the top ten most influential people to share his blog post via scheduled tweets. Most of the content Ian shares is other people's content first. Ian uses Hootsuite and Bulk Buffer with Buffer to schedule tweets. Ian managed different software, customer support and development teams. He has always been good at managing different teams of people and building relationships with each person. Fun Fact: He sold property in Bulgaria. When you reach out to an influencer and ask for something, you're the same as 99 out of 100 people. If you really focus on how you can help them with your first interaction they will remember you. Larry Benet was speaking at Social Media World. Ian shares how he was able to connect with him. Larry interviewed me at NMX, you can watch it here. How can you stand out as an individual, and how you can you really help that other person - that makes a difference. Ian shares how he balances his time. Entrepreneurs need to be more productive and not think they must work longer hours. If you set your deadlines and be ruthless with them, you will get the work done. Erik Fisher submitted a question “What's a good balance between finding new tools and leaning new tools?” (My interview with Erik here) When you become known in a certain area, the information finds it's way to you. Ian uses Nimble to track the interactions he has with people. It keeps track of his social media interactions. Check out Ian's latest Google Analytics training course.

It's hard to say just where Nancy Duarte has had the biggest impact: as the architect of Al Gore's presentation on climate change in An Inconvenient Truth... as the author of two profoundly powerful books on crafting and delivering presentations, slide:ology and Resonate......as the co-creator of Duarte Design, a firm that has been redefining the art and science of presentations for nearly a quarter-century......or as a pioneer in integrating social media and public speaking around the central driving idea of story. Our conversation lasts less than 10 minutes, but Nancy packs a lot of insight into how the backchannel changes the balance of power between speaker and audiencehow speeches can take on a life of their own as social objectshow even harsh criticism can make you a better speakerand how dramatic tension and release can lend your next speech the power and impact your ideas have been waiting for.Listen in - and then explore more deeply:Nancy Duarte on Twitter Duarte Design on the web, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn – and the Duarte blog SlideShare presentations by Nancy and Duarte DesignSteve Jobs' now-legendary commencement address at Stanford (video) (text)Duarte's new online store Diagrammer (imagine an iTunes for PowerPoint-format diagrams, tailored to the relationship you're illustrating and instantly downloadable for 99¢)Microsoft PowerPoint, which Nancy recommends for its outlining mode, as a way of clustering and refining your thoughts and crafting a compelling structurePrezi and Apple Keynote
