Most companies have a least a general idea what customers go through in doing business with them. Where many fall short, however, is in identifying the real moments of truth – those touchpoints most critical to the customer. Walker Journey Mapping can help. Highly interactive and collaborative, journey mapping is a multi-faceted exercise that documents various touchpoints, strengths and weaknesses to arrive at those key, singular moments that can make or break the customer relationship.
Journey mapping is conducted by gathering a cross-functional group from within your company to systematically walk through the journey customers follow to interact with you. This uncovers key experiences to leverage areas to improve. Customer interviews or mapping sessions are conducted to determine perceptual alignment – whether your company’s perception is, in fact, your customer’s reality. Specific to B-to-B companies, qualitative feedback is also obtained from third-party channel partners, distributors and resellers.
This process leads to:
Walker’s journey mapping approach can help you create the right listening program, affirm action plans, reveal obstacles and get the right people engaged to help you make customer experience your biggest competitive advantage.
