Two categories of incentives
1. External
Align your pricing, product, and promotions with your customers
2. Internal
Align your teams and departments to promote customer retention.

Today we are discussing Bias #1
Bias 1: Reward and Punishment Super-Response Tendency
– Benjamin Franklin “If you would persuade, appeal to interest and not to reason”
Incentives and disincentives…
rule everything around me
Few businesses get this right
