Enter Journey Mapping
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself. -Peter Drucker
Focus on your customer s journey Organizations able to skillfully manage the entire experience reap enormous rewards: enhanced customer satisfaction, reduced churn, increased revenue, and greater employee satisfaction. The mapping exercise exposes departures from the ideal customer experience and their causes, and often reveals policy choices or company processes that unintentionally generate adverse results.
