"A great wake up call to remind us all that all truly
great decisions have been made by people following their
instinct."
Richard Reed, Founder Innocent Drinks
"Great businesses are based on big ideas. In my
experience the best ideas are driven by instinct rather
than analysis. This book gives you the inspiration and
confidence to follow your gut."
Charles Dunstone, Chief Executive, Carphone Warehouse
"This book is well overdue. The sooner we start acting
on our instincts and listening less to business school
theories, the more the customer will benefit."
Jane Shepherdson, Brand Director, Topshop
"Corporations can’t do intuition. Entrepreneurs live by
it. Shaun Smith and Andy Milligan convincingly
illustrate the power and invincibility of original
thinking in this admirable book."
Tim Waterstone, founder of Waterstone's bookstores
and the Daisy & Tom children's department stores
"Today, big ideas are coming directly from the minds and
hearts of customers. Smith and Milligan show how to tap
into the ideas driving business innovation and how to
implement new strategies to improve the customer
experience. See, Feel, Think, Do is a must read for any
manager or entrepreneur seeking to understand the
experiential world of their customers to find new ways
to spur growth and innovation."
Bernd Schmitt, CEO of The EX Group, Author of Customer
Experience Management
"Those companies that wish to succeed in the Experience
Economy should not just See, Feel, Think, Do but also
Read. Read what Andy Milligan and Shaun Smith have to
say about creating differentiation through unique
experience offerings, and then follow through by
applying their toolkit to your business."
Joseph Pine and Jim Gilmore, authors of The Experience Economy:
Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage
"Finally, a book that acknowledges customers are human.
By allowing feelings into the forefront of the business
process, customer experiences can only improve, which is good news for all
of us."
Chris Goossens, Director of Customer Service, TNT Express
"It is very refreshing to read a book on business which
is not a how-to, seven-steps-to-heaven management recipe
manual, but which instead deals intelligently and with
insight on the vague yet vital concept of instinct as a
business imperative. The notion that proper instinct can
be taught seems counter-intuitive, but this book has
shown that all our instincts can be better honed and
refined so that we can better utilise this for business
decisions."
Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Tree Hotels
and Resorts
"This book voices and exemplifies what many business
people think, but find it difficult to say publicly.
That successful brands and business ideas are born as
much from the gut as they are from the numbers. A truly
engaging book, with lots of wit and wisdom from people
who have felt the force and done something about it."
Rita Clifton, Chairman, Interbrand
"My instinct has always been to follow my instinct. It’s
good to have a book to prove that this works. It’s even
better that it does so in an engaging way."
John Simmons, author of Dark Angels
"You have to love a business book that opens by quoting
a scene for The Godfather Part II movie and then uses it
as the platform for a serious point about business.
Milligan & Smith's book is crammed full of media
references and entertaining brand anecdotes, all used to
make a compelling point."
