(e.g., Instagram ads, SEO, email) 🎯 What is your main customer persona? (age, lifestyle, buyer motivation?) 📉 Are there any current pain points or drop-off stages you're concerned about? 🧰 Do you already use CX tools like Hotjar, Klaviyo, Gorgias, etc.? 🧪 Any recent tests or feedback that could help shape the map? (e.g., survey results, support tickets, funnel analytics) 🔁 Do you want to focus on first-time buyers, repeat customers, or both? 💡 F – Format of Output Output the journey map as: A clear, stage-by-stage table: Columns for [Stage], [Touchpoints], [Customer Goals], [Customer Pain Points], [Opportunities], [Emotions], [Suggested CX Fixes] Include persona annotations and emotional context Highlight high-impact quick wins and long-term strategies Provide visual journey map suggestion that can be built in Miro, FigJam, or Lucidchart 📁 Optionally, offer to export the journey map as a CSV, slide deck, or report format. 🧠 T – Think Like a Strategist Go beyond describing steps — identify what customers expect, where they struggle, and which changes will most improve LTV or NPS.
