Understand the Learning Style of Your Client for Better Customer Success

How Understanding the Learning Style of Your Client Can Lead to Better Customer Success


At Spherexx, we understand the importance of personalized communication and training. By incorporating various learning styles into our software and marketing strategies, we enhance user engagement and satisfaction. This approach ensures that our clients receive information in the most effective way for their individual needs, leading to improved customer success.

People don't always know their dominant learning style. For example, while working with a client, I mentioned learning styles to facilitate better collaboration. He was certain he was a visual learner. However, after taking a quick, free learning style quiz, the results indicated he was an auditory learner. Initially dismissive of the results, he began to recognize his auditory learning tendencies as we discussed the descriptions. He realized his preference for reading aloud and his need for verbal discussions to understand notes better aligned with auditory learning. This realization can be quite eye-opening and significantly impact personal growth and business relationships.

Recognizing and adapting to your clients' learning styles opens up numerous opportunities. Sales demos become more engaging, training sessions more memorable, and account management more impactful. Ultimately, this approach helps your business excel in customer experience, aiming to maximize customer retention and lifetime value.

Types of Learning Styles

Understanding the four basic learning styles is essential for customizing customer experiences:

  • Visual Learners – Learn by watching.
  • Auditory Learners – Learn by listening and speaking.
  • Reading-focused Learners (Analytical) – Learn by reading and writing.
  • Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners – Learn by hands-on engagement.

Identifying Learning Styles

To tailor customer experiences based on learning styles, start by observing your clients' preferences. Notice how they ask questions and respond to information:

  • Visual learners might ask: "Could you show me how it's done?"
  • Auditory learners may ask: "Could you explain it to me?"
  • Reading-focused learners could ask: "Is there a guide or documentation available?"
  • Tactile/Kinesthetic learners might ask: "Can I give it a go myself?"

At Spherexx, we incorporate all learning methodologies into our software and internet marketing designs, ensuring we meet clients where they are in terms of information processing.

Tailoring to Each Learning Style

Visual Learners

  • Respond positively to visuals like photos, illustrations, infographics, and animations.
  • Appreciate aesthetically pleasing content and consistent branding.
  • Example: Spherexx software dashboards use imagery for quick visual assessments, and our  advertisements and forms feature soft, contemporary colors and video presentations.

•    Auditory Learners

  • Prefer listening to content and verbal explanations.
  • Example: Spherexx CRM includes video training content with voice-overs, and our systems support voicemail recordings for better phone skills development.

•    Reading-focused Learners

  • Prefer text-based information through emails, articles, and blog posts.

  • Example: Spherexx offers detailed digital brochures, interactive site plans, and blog content for in-depth product information.

•    Kinesthetic Learners

  • Learn best through hands-on experiences and using their senses.

  • Example: Spherexx provides interactive demos, sandbox access, and custom kiosks for immersive learning experiences.


Debunking Learning Style Theory

While some argue that learning styles lack scientific evidence, many find that aligning training with dominant learning styles enhances engagement and retention. By meeting individuals where they are, learning becomes more impactful and less disengaging.

Incorporating Learning Styles into Customer Success

Understanding your clients' learning styles is a transformative tool for improving customer experiences. Personalized interactions, such as tailored product demos and training sessions, lead to greater solution adoption, client retention, and customer success. Utilize AI tools to adapt your content for different learning styles, ensuring every client receives information in their preferred way.
