The shift to a customer experience-driven sales and marketing (or even business) focus is often followed by the question of where to start with the redesign of processes? Business Model Strategy Expert Nicolas Eckhard shares a proven three-step approach.

Three Steps towards the Next Level in Customer Experience
Define customer archetypes
Define groups or archetypes from your customers. Analyze their respective consumption behavior in order to tailor messages around service offerings to their needs.
Define interactions
What acts do these archetypes typically have with the company? Detail those and include all interactions, from awareness through the sales process itself to billing and beyond, well into trouble-shooting in customer service, to be aware of every contact interaction.
Prioritize customer acts
Which customer acts have the highest impact? Prioritize them accordingly and work on redesigning one customer act at a time.
As you improve the individual customer acts, you redesign your customer experience and get ready to establish a new level of quality in the relationships with your customers. And remember: The goal is not getting finished – but getting better constantly.
