Designing products and services that change behavior doesn't have to be hard. This intro session to behavioral economics will offer you a new look how your customers make decisions and how you can help influence these decisions.
To achieve an impact on the world, your company will need to change the way people behave and make decisions. Dan will help you think about how your product is positioned and designed in order to change their 'hard to change' behavior. How can you help your customers adopt your product? How you can increase their (addictive) usage? How you can build a team that loves what they do?
By unmasking the powerful tricks that our minds play on us, companies can understand their customers' day to day decision making. And then start to influence them….for the better.
Get customers to adopt, use and love your product.These techniques are proven to increase site conversion rates, create effective pricing strategy, improve customer and employee retention and overall help users change the 'hard-to-change' behavior.
