Instruction 2: What is important to know about a customer? 
The “influence” wheel helps frame the problem in terms of what we need to know about a customer 
Transaction data 
allows us to know 
what behaviors we 
can observe at 
purchase time 
Not all behaviors can be 
observed in a transaction 
so we deploy a social 
listening strategy in order 
to capture some aspects 
of a customers lifestyle 
and how products & 
services may fit into that 
lifestyle 
External forces may 
impact the way 
customers behave, 
so we have to collect 
data to simulate local 
conditions that may 
affect purchase 
behavior
