Many organizations feel that they understand what the customer needs to go through to do business with them. And it’s usually true in part. They may know the processes, technology and procedures needed. What tends to have very little visibility is how painful the process can be. As we layer products on top of processes over channels and continually introduce new procedures, exceptions and rules … the “easy” and “satisfying” part of the experience can be lost. Internal teams simply know too much about the how’s and why’s of the process. That’s where a neutral, largely uninformed set of eyes can be extremely valuable.

What we do:

• Working with your internal subject matter experts we map the customer’s journey from purchase decision through to service. These maps are specifically designed to illustrate the customer’s journey -- not internal processes.
• Once the initial map has been drafted, VereQuest Customer Insight Specialists (working alone or with customers) “experience” the journey, validating each step, option and decision point.

What you get:

• A realistic illustration of the customer’s journey with your organization highlighting areas which may be simply painful or frustrating for customers or could, in fact, cause them to defect.
• High potential opportunities for improvement which may not only improve the overall experience and drive customer loyalty but also provide your organization with a key competitive advantage.
