Sandeep Dayal joins Brainfluence to explain purchase decisions, brand identity, brand positioning, customer-centricity, and customer experience for brands that want to find and sell to their audiences ethically. He breaks down the process of a customer's buying decision, the three factors that affect the designing of empathetic brands, and the three principles of self-regulation for marketers, among other things.

Recognition of the need to optimize customer experience continues to grow. As Sandeep explains, the better a customer's mind is familiar with your brand's offerings, the better the chances are they would buy from you. Make an effort to get to know your customer – understand their pain points, questions, and concerns, and align your marketing strategy to find them the answers to their most persistent questions.
