Your CRM Assumes Rationality – However, Your Customers Don’t Work That Way

And why MORE “personalisation” is often the problem.

Most CRM and marketing automation strategies are built on a flawed assumption. That customers are rational, and that more personalisation will fix engagement.

Behavioural science tells us the opposite.

Customers are overwhelmed, cognitively lazy and heavily influenced by context, habit and bias. Yet as CRM leaders we design programmes that continue to personalise more, automate more and say more and often at the expense of attention, trust and action.

In this session we’ll explore:-

  • Why over-personalisation increases cognitive load and reduces engagement
  • How behavioural psychology explains why “relevance” can still feel intrusive
  • Why the best customer experiences are designed with restraint, not exhaustiveness
  • What behaviour-led, judgement-driven CRM looks like in practice
