What is Customer Journey Mapping?
A complete guide to understanding customer journey mapping and why it matters for customer success teams.
Definition
“Customer journey mapping is the process of visualizing and documenting every touchpoint, interaction, and experience a customer has with your company from initial awareness through long-term advocacy. Journey maps identify key milestones, emotional states, pain points, and opportunities for improvement at each stage of the lifecycle.”

Why It Matters
Journey mapping reveals the gaps between what you think the customer experience looks like and what customers actually experience. It enables CS teams to design proactive interventions at critical moments, standardize the experience across all accounts, and identify the touchpoints that most strongly influence retention and expansion decisions.
