Then, Talk With Customers • Sounds simple, right? • Amazing how many people don’t • Ethnographic research vs focus groups or surveys • Lots of tools for this...

Understanding Customers • What do your customers actually need or want? • What do your customers actually get? • How do they think of you? • Redefine your market in terms of customer activities and customer outcomes - not “products and services”
Customer Journey • Time-based sequence of logically related activities • Consumers • Stage of life (education, career, parenting, retiring) • Specific interest (rock climbing, auto restoration) • Ownership of asset (home, car, camera, motorcycle) • Business • Process (logistics, risk management, HR, finance) • Assets (computer equipment, machinery, trucks)
Customer Journey • Leads to defined customer outcomes • Retirees want “financial independence” • Diners want “good food without the hassle” • Computer buyers want “higher productivity” • Flyers want “to get there on time with a positive attitude”
Exercise: What do your customers buy from you?What do they ultimately want?Example:Avanceon
