I’m often asked for customer journey mapping examples – where are organizations using journey mapping that is truly driving change. Of course, the results vary significantly depending on the selected business problem, journey, and customer selected – three of our five questions.

Meet Mouse, our corn snake. I’ve never really considered myself a “reptile person.” On those occasions where I’ve encountered snakes while hiking or working in the yard, I always jump clear out of my shoes in complete fright. It was Christmas of 2020 when my son made us a reptile family by welcoming a corn snake named “Mouse” into our home.

It started as a typical, busy Wednesday. Then a miracle happened. A half-day event got cancelled. Another meeting was rescheduled for a different day. My calendar was suddenly wide-open. It was tempting to fill that found time with more work. I took my dog to the beach instead. We had a lot of fun. I was present, and didn't look at my phone, except to take a picture of my dog, Dublin, enjoying herself.

First-party data is the future of online engagement and customer experiences. There’s no two ways about it. In June 2021, Google confirmed that it will no longer track individuals online via cookies. This isn’t surprising given competitors such as Apple’s Safari and Mozilla Firefox are cookieless by default – however there are already debates about how Google will collect and use data thereafter.

Sometimes a customer asks a question, and then either doesn’t understand or like the answer. And sometimes, it’s more than just a misunderstanding or a breakdown in communication. Maybe it’s because the employee doesn’t want to take the time to answer the question correctly. Or sometimes employees are asked the same question so many times that they get sick and tired of customers asking, and it shows in the way they respond and act.?

As valuable as it would be to truly know each of our customers on a personal level, that’s just not possible for most businesses. Startups with a few clients might have that luxury, but once your business booms, it takes far too much time to connect with individuals in your target audience. Yet you can’t generalize your entire audience, either—some personalization is essential.

If you’ve ever taken sales training of any kind, you know that mastering sales vocabulary is shockingly difficult. Many sales terms sound interchangeable when, in fact, they mean drastically different things.

Business leaders are happy because their customers are satisfied. But that’s not good enough. Customers feel that service is good, not better, just average. Nobody raves about average. And satisfied customers will leave once they find something better or less expensive. So don’t serve to sell to customers. And don’t serve to satisfy customers. Serve to delight them.
