Find pain points in the current customer journey

Customer journey maps should be used to track the unique emotional journey of target customer groups across the enterprise. Customer feedback, such as customer feelings and their point of view, is essential throughout the entire user experience. Effective journey maps must also include key moments of truth for the customer, such as customer service wait times, digital dead ends, or other pain points. These key steps can often reveal new opportunities. Where different customer segments diverge at key points, our team will also help you design parallel maps to account for all target audiences. This detailed process works as a visual guide to identify opportunities for new value creation and improved customer experiences in sales, marketing, products and services, and other customer interactions with your brand.

Mapping the customer journey comes in many forms depending on business goals. However, the most impactful journey maps are made up of the following elements.

Business imperatives and customer needs

Marketing and service teams have certain goals and KPIs they need to achieve, while customers/prospects have their own preferences and expectations. This requires a shared vision of your organization’s top CX priorities, as well as a clear understanding of customer needs, both current and anticipated, which will influence changes to the customer journey map and associated customer processes.

Customer experience narrative and process

This part of the map provides a detailed description of the customer journey. Typically, customer experience maps chart all touchpoints throughout the customer lifecycle. This can include when they first gain awareness and eventually make a first purchase, all the way through to service, up-sell, and retention or churn. This also includes the set of channels, from brick and mortar to social media, and everything in between, as well as messages, communication cadences, and inbound and outbound interactions.

Customer data and technology

In this section of the map we define the basic building blocks of the customer profile that will help us to continually tailor our interactions with individuals. This includes data from lead sources, second- and third-party data sources to augment the profile, as well as first-party data captured during the course of sales, service, or digital marketing interactions.

Add actionable insights to your digital customer journey mapping with journey management tools

Leverage powerful real-time capabilities

Journey maps are essential to help diagnose customer pain points and inspire improvements to marketing, sales, and service experiences. But once an organization finishes building a traditional journey map, they may struggle to understand what is contextually relevant for each customer at any point in time, and how to take action. Enter journey management tools. Advances in data integration, analytics, and customer journey visualization allow companies to utilize the best features of traditional journey mapping while also leveraging powerful digital customer experience journey mapping capabilities through journey analytics platforms.

Gain a dynamic view of moments of truth across all touchpoints

Journey management tools allow companies to enhance their digital strategy further by visualizing customer interactions all in one place, with a dynamic view of all touchpoints. Beyond showing a static snapshot, they can isolate and visualize individual journeys and see how they are performing in real time. Are people using the new chat channel or mobile portal? Where are they coming from, and which are the best performing channels? And for which customer segments? All these questions can be answered through journey analysis.
