What Can The Greatest Showman Teach Us About Customer Experience? | An Experience In The Last Place You Would Expect | The Best Secret Service System Ever

What can The Greatest Showman teach us about Customer Experience?

The blockbuster film, inspired by the story of P. T. Barnum’s creation of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, The Greatest Showman celebrates the birth of show business, and tells of a visionary who created an unusual never seen before experience that became a worldwide sensation.

The Greatest Showman on Customer Experience

P. T. Barnum’s concept was to find unique people that could create an entertaining experience people have never seen before. The strategy Barnum takes is exactly the same strategy any company would want to take to build an exceptional Customer Experience. Below are the top quotes from the movie:

 

  • “The noblest art is that of making others happy.”
  • “We need unique people willing to do unique things.”
  • “Men suffer more from imagining too little than too much.”
  • “No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.”
  • “Comfort is the enemy of progress.”
  • “Everyone’s got an act.”
  • “You don’t need everyone to love you. Just a few good people!”

 

Restaurant manager goes to house of woman who gave poor online review

We do not recommend using this approach with your unsatisfied Customers. A manager of a restaurant showed up at a Customer’s door at 10 pm because she only gave his Virginia restaurant a three star Yelp review. The manager’s reasoning, “We just started 4 weeks ago. We wanted to make sure all of our customers are happy with their orders. We wanted to build our clientele. We made a mistake by going that late. I think our emotions just got the best of our business judgment. We should have waited for a better solution.” Really, do you think?
