Ready to map your own journey? Buckle up!
Break down your customer’s experience into distinct stages, for example:
Assign ownership for each phase (Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, etc.). Identify supporting functions involved (IT, Product Development, etc.).
For each phase, list key activities customers perform and identify all touchpoints (website, app, store, support calls, etc.).
Gather data and feedback (surveys, focus groups, social media mentions) to assess the customer experience at each touchpoint. Consider:
Outline any VoC Actions you perform in this phase.
Also list opportunities to gather Customer Feedback, if you’re not doing it already.
Identify relevant metrics for each phase (conversion rates, satisfaction scores, churn rate) to track progress and measure improvement.
Define the resources needed for mapping (data, team involvement) and set clear goals for what you want to achieve. Define Input and Output Metrics for each phase.
Anticipate challenges (limited resources, siloed departments) and brainstorm solutions. Identify areas for improvement and prioritize actions.
Unlocking customer loyalty and growth begins with understanding their journey. Start mapping today and embark on a transformative path!
