Editor's Notes
Let me apply this principle to a real life case study…
Bought it for other reasons
Multi-use
Like secondary benefits
he biggest problem with asking someone what they think of your service, app, or product is that your respondent is going to tell you what they think they feel versus what they actually feel. What people say and what they do are totally different things
Think about the last time you were at a shoe store and the salesperson asked you to walk. Notice how you change your stide
The antidote for the observation effect: watch, don't ask
Pearson's study is a tip-off to the first solution. Watch what your customers do versus what they say
