In the current competitive auto market, having an online presence is a must. Before they even set foot in your door, chances are the majority of your customers will have checked you out online. Websites and social media function as extensions of your dealerships. They are virtual showrooms where customers can view your newest models, meet your team and get to know your dealership’s culture.
However, not all online presences are created equal. Though almost anyone today can create a site or put up a dealership Facebook page, if not executed properly, these online tools can cost you customers. It’s vital, therefore, to be able to evaluate your online customer experience so you can ensure their digital interactions are ones that motivate them to take the next step: coming over for an in-person transaction.
This is where mapping comes in. Mapping is a process that allows you to gauge which aspects of your online strategy are working and which need to be done away with pronto! It does this by using customer feedback to create a visual representation of what your clients experience when interacting with your online platforms.

No single tactic will deliver on the ultimate customer experience (CX) vision. Just like most matters in business, it takes the right mix of people and processes or methodologies to deliver a meaningful experience.
Customer journeys are at the core of understanding your customers, their needs or issues they may be facing so you can take action to deliver a great customer experience. Customer experience problems vary in complexity from simple to difficult, and the persistent ones are often complex because they occur over time, over channels, and fall between the cracks of organizational silos.

Over time, customer journey mapping has become a wildly accepted tool, and leaders are far more willing to leverage their power; particularly, when given guidance on how to construct a map that will offer visibility to improvements across people, process, and technology.
While customer journey mapping is popular today, I’ve often seen companies benefit from four strategies to garner more value from mapping efforts. I’ll list these four approaches below and discuss two of them this week and the other two in next week’s blog.

Customer feedback is a vital part of customer journey mapping and improving the customer experience.
Negative feedback highlights where you need to improve and positive feedback helps to understand which elements to amplify.
We teamed up with Dan Moross, the Director of Customer Experience at MOO, to put together a guide on how you can improve the quantity and quality of feedback from your customers and how you can use it to enhance their experience with your brand.

I just came back from hosting the CXPA’s Insight Exchange and talking all things customers. Of course, I tended to hang out in the customer journey mapping sessions. While the practice is maturing, there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
In the spirit of sharing best practices, we at Heart of the Customer put together our Top 10 Reasons that Journey Mapping Projects Fail, a la David Letterman.
Without further ado, let’s proceed!
