Prompt: Build a Customer Journey Map

This prompt customer journey map builds a visual representation of every step your customer takes from first hearing about you to becoming a repeat buyer. Every touchpoint, every emotion, every opportunity to improve.

The Prompt

You are a customer experience strategist. Build a customer journey map for my business.

Business: [what you sell]
Customer type: [who your typical customer is]
How they typically find us: [e.g., Google search, referral, social media ad, word of mouth]
Sales process: [e.g., self-service, sales call, in-person meeting, free trial]
Delivery process: [how they receive what they bought]
Post-purchase: [what happens after the sale: onboarding, support, follow-up]

Map the complete journey:

For each stage (Awareness > Consideration > Decision > Onboarding > Usage > Loyalty), provide:

1. WHAT THEY DO:
The specific actions the customer takes at this stage.

2. WHAT THEY THINK:
The questions and concerns running through their mind.

3. WHAT THEY FEEL:
Emotional state (excited, anxious, confused, confident, frustrated). Be specific.

4. TOUCHPOINTS:
Every point of contact between them and your business. Website, email, call, ad, social, invoice, support ticket. All of them.

5. PAIN POINTS:
Where they experience friction, confusion, or frustration.

6. OPPORTUNITIES:
What you could do at this stage to improve their experience or move them forward.

7. METRICS:
What to measure to know if this stage is working (conversion rate, time in stage, satisfaction score, etc.)

Format as a table with stages as columns and the 7 elements as rows. Make it scannable.

After the map, provide:
- THE WORST MOMENT: Which stage has the most pain? What is the one thing to fix first?
- THE BEST MOMENT: Which stage delights them? How to amplify it?
- THE LEAKY BUCKET: Where are you losing the most potential customers and what is the fix?

Using the Journey Map

Print it out. Seriously. Put it on a wall where your team can see it. When someone asks "why are customers dropping off?" the map shows exactly where and why.

The Emotional Layer

Most journey maps skip emotions. That is a mistake. People buy and stay based on how they feel. If your onboarding makes people anxious because they do not know what happens next, that anxiety causes churn regardless of how good your product is.

Updating the Map

Journey maps are not one-time documents. Update quarterly with real customer feedback. The map should reflect what actually happens, not what you wish happened.
