How Hard Is It to Be Your Customer Journey Mapping Book

At Heart of the Customer, we’re pleased to introduce our forthcoming book on journey mapping best practices!

Journey mapping opens up extraordinary avenues for business growth, but only when done wisely and well. Through insight from CX pros, extensive research, and real-world case studies, you can learn the best way to capture your customers’ experiences to drive action that gets results, boosting loyalty, satisfaction, and your bottom line.

Heart of the Customer’s Mapper-In-Chief Jim Tincher and Practice Lead Nicole Newton have teamed up to write the definitive guide to journey mapping. Featuring interviews with dozens of CX practitioners and a survey with hundreds more, this book shows you how to do journey mapping in a way that leads to action.

The book will be published by Paramount Books and released in May. You can learn more at www.HowHardIsIttoBeYourCustomer.com.

Ten things you will learn in the book:

  1. What are the most common business cases for journey mapping?
  2. Should I focus on a specific sub-journey or map the end-to-end customer experience?
  3. Do I need to invest in specialized journey mapping software or other tools?
  4. Do I need to do any prep work, or can I just jump right into mapping the journey?
  5. How do I discover the Moments of Truth that matter most to my customers?
  6. How do I incorporate personas into my journey maps?
  7. Do I need a graphic journey map or is a grid good enough?
  8. How can a journey map show what my customers are thinking and feeling?
  9. What are the biggest mistakes companies make when doing journey mapping on their own?
  10. What do I do with my customer journey map once it’s created?
