Customer Experience Glossary of Terms
• Customer: Any person coming in contact with the brand
• Experiences: The sum of what the customer takes away from ALL the interactions they've had with you
- Customers always have an experience (good, bad, or indifferent)
• Interactions: A memorable event – with a beginning, middle, and end
- The activities in which customers engages with the brand
• Touch Points: Inbound, Outbound, Interactive – human or automated
- A Touch Point is where emotions, process, systems, data all intersect - often the ‘fault line ‘between the company and the customer

Difference Between CX & UX
Customer Experience Design - Looks at the entire experience across ALL
Interactions and throughout the entire customer journey
• Customer’s touch points with the brand are various and only some may involve
products or services
• Requires a great deal of business skills
User Experience Design - User interacting with one product or interface
• UX is a small subset of CX, as each product needs to be user friendly
• Requires physical design and ergonomics

representation• Robust analytic modeling possible
– Predictive analytics, “Look Alike” & targeting
Benefits of Personas• Bring to life what customers are
thinking/doing/feeling• Provide emotional cues• Readily relatable• Enriches organizational
understanding

Then Use Your Data – Big, Smart or any ;^)
• Compile your data to reflect the customer lifecycle and journey
• Pull data together from all technologies and platforms
• Map to the lifecycle then:
- Create scenarios by buyer segments
- Look at path to purchase – best, worst, most trodden
- Look at path to repurchase – best, worst, evangelism
- Is there an obvious loyalty path?
- Look at other elements based on your Industry/Vertical
- Don’t forget to add in partners or multi-level B2B supply chains

Approach – First wide then strategic drill downs• Map as many competitors comparisons as possible to have a range of information to draw from• Personas are great here – especially if you are targeting prospect groups you don’t know well• Pinpoint key moments of truth – lifecycle, friction in the process, personas that have very different
expectations
Outcomes• ID Actionable opportunities• Investment guidance – what's table stakes – what's nice to have – what not to focus on at all
Next Steps
• Augment with robust user research
• Story telling by lifecycle and persona brings it to life

purposes of driving design, and UX

Consumer Mapping
Experience Mapping isn’t a stand-alone exercise
32
Mapping only outbound touchesDoes not address the whole customer experience. Omits initiation points as Well as feedback loop. Solution: Map ALL interactions to get a full picture
No clear view of outcomes Interesting collection of facts that are not actionable. No understanding of how they connect.Solution: Focus on actionable insights and the initial objectives .
Organizational Alignment Need the full cooperation and access to the staff across the organization to be sure the right information is collected and shared.Solution: Be as deep and wide as possible
Process Only MappingProvides lots of data but no real insight into the emotions of the employees or customers limiting actionable insights. Solution: Be sure to add emotional inputs, ethnographic research and VOC /VOE.
