Presented at the CRM Evolution Conference, August 18, 2014.
Businesses are constantly seeking ways to more accurately predict customer behavior and attitudes. Analytical models and market research offer robust information, but are you overlooking an innovative approach to discover what your customers are thinking and doing? Customer experience maps examine customer emotions and attitudes through the learn, buy, enjoy, and advocate stages of the customer life cycle. The map identifies the gaps in your customer experience and delivers a framework for effectively improving it. This presentation walks you through the process of creating a customer experience map and gives real-world examples of how a major financial institution and an entertainment loyalty program were able to use their maps to identify gaps in their communications and processes.

relationship to feel
personalized and the
customer service
personnel to show interest
in me and my needs.”
“The bank really hasn’t
reached out to me. I
would expect more postal
mailings as well as emails.”
“Connectivity, to me,
would be a bank reaching
out with specific custom-tailored
products and
services.”
“I would prefer a bank
that understands where I
am with my financial life,
where I want to go, and
can provide the
knowledge and tools to
help me get there.”
“I want to be connected
to my accounts 24/7,
online, whether through a
computer or via a mobile
app, and if I have a
problem with my account,
there should be someone
available at all times that I
can interact with to find a
solution.”
