How many times have you heard that taking good care and satisfying your customers is the way to build customer loyalty?
What if I told you that you should do the opposite?
What seems logical, is not necessary how we behave.

This concept comes from one of the core ideas in social psychology, cognitive dissonance (first described by Festinger, 1957). It’s a fascinating concept that will help you see beyond the surface of human behaviour and understand better what the real motivations behind our actions are.
How to build customer loyalty – highlights of the video:
- How the concept of cognitive dissonance works
- What processes are triggered when our behavior goes against our beliefs
- My personal story of discovering the new way to build loyalty
- How you can build this theory into your business
