One of the arguments against journey mapping I often hear is that it's an exercise in futility: You map. This is key to avoiding that "exercise in futility" mentality or outcome. Today's post is a modified version of a post I originally published on Touchpoint Dashboard on February 4, 2015. You put it on the wall. And nothing changes. To that I answer: " You're doing it all wrong."

The good news is that if you haven’t done it yet, you don’t need to get to the level of detail you normally would for this exercise. This is the type of exercise that is not a “one and done.” Little successes added together make for large success down the road. Small successes add up.

So, as we approach this year’s customer focused holiday, I want you to consider working through an exercise that will help you create a better customer service experience. Now, back to the exercise. Sounds like a simple exercise, and for some it will be. Don’t let the simplicity of this exercise fool you into thinking it is trivial or anything less than powerful.

I have my workshop participants go through this exercise for at least ten issues. Do this exercise in your company, and you’ll instantly improve customer interactions. After six weeks in the hospital, we got the news that Dad would be released and that he would go to a rehab center eight miles away. Mom called me frantic, “He’s so weak, I have no idea how I’ll get your dad into the car to take him to rehab.”.

Did you take up a hobby or a new exercise program? We undertake this exercise by asking a lot of questions. What did you do during the lockdown? Did you watch hours of news coverage hoping for some good news? Were you in the kitchen working with your sourdough starter? Or were you on the couch watching the entirety of Netflix? All were excellent pursuits, by the way, especially the bread making.

But, people will never forget how you made them feel.” ” That point right there – people will never forget how you made them feel – is why we created this course.
