Steady steps for success.
When it comes to optimizing customer journeys, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. After all, the customer journey is like a puzzle with many interconnected pieces—touchpoints that influence how customers perceive, interact with, and feel about your brand. But here’s the truth: tackling this challenge doesn’t require a grand overhaul or endless resources. Instead, it’s about taking steady, meaningful steps—one touchpoint at a time.
To illustrate this, let’s borrow an old saying: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
The Elephant and the Touchpoints
The idea behind this saying is simple. When faced with a seemingly massive task, trying to do everything at once is a surefire way to stall. But breaking it into small, manageable actions makes progress not only possible but sustainable.
Imagine your customer journey as the proverbial elephant. You might have dozens of touchpoints—your website, social media, email campaigns, customer service, in-store experience, and more. Trying to optimize all of them in one go is daunting. But what if you chose just one?
One Bite: Start Small, Stay Steady
The magic of Viral CX lies in its simplicity: you don’t need to tackle everything at once. Start by identifying a single touchpoint that could benefit from improvement. For instance, let’s say your website’s checkout process is causing friction.
By focusing on this touchpoint:
1. Set a measurable objective
2. Define actionable key results
3. Measure your progress
Once you’ve nailed this, move on to the next touchpoint.
Why One Touchpoint at a Time Works
This method works because:
• It avoids overwhelm: Teams can focus their energy on one area, creating better results.
• It builds momentum: Every improved touchpoint adds value, creating a ripple effect throughout the customer journey.
• It fosters learning: Each step teaches you what works (and what doesn’t) for your customers, making future changes easier and more effective.
