Consciously or not, Controllers deliver what information-saturated customers want (according to the research): clear guidance instead of excessive choice. In CEB’s customer contact practice, for example, we’ve found that 84% of customers would prefer a straightforward solution to their problem rather than a broad array of self-service channels (e-mail, chat, social media–based service, and so on). In our sales practice, we’ve discovered that providing customers with prescriptive guidance that simplifies big purchase decisions leads to far lower levels of buyer’s remorse. And in our marketing practice, we’ve found that brands scoring in the top quartile of the “decision simplicity index” are 85% likelier than those in the bottom quartile to be purchased by consumers.
