Providing a digital, omnichannel customer experience is a clear imperative. Allowing customers the flexibility to digitally self-serve can dramatically increase customer satisfaction, and lower your operating costs. Gartner reports that self-service costs around $0.10 per contact compared to live channels which cost an average of $8.01 per contact. However, current technology solutions are not meeting demand.

For many years, companies focused on customer touchpoints to gauge customer satisfaction. In recent years, companies have seen that touchpoints do not capture the whole picture.

The customer journey map (CJM) is a useful and crucial tool to help businesses uncover and visualize the experience their customers have when interacting with the brand from the customer’s point of view. That last underlined phrase underscores the criticality and validity of the customer journey. It must be derived from the customer’s perspective otherwise it’s made up of assumptions and speculation versus hardcore evidence.

Like most American consumers, I had no reason to understand the complexities and challenges companies face implementing an efficient field service strategy… until I spent five months without a working oven.
