The article emphasizes the importance of understanding customer needs in e-commerce to enhance salesmanship. It uses the iconic 'sell me this pen' scene from 'The Wolf of Wall Street' to illustrate the transition from merely selling products to providing solutions that resonate with users. UX design plays a crucial role in this process, by relying on both quantitative data (like analytics) and qualitative data (like user research) to understand the motivations and behaviors of customers, ultimately creating a better shopping experience.
To 'sell the pen' effectively, you first need to know who needs it and why. The quality work of a UX designer in e-commerce relies on a deep understanding of the user, supported by a combination of data.
Great salespeople don't sell pens - they sell a solution, status, memory. In e-commerce, we are also in the position of 'selling' - products, services, ideas.
