Customer journey success: reducing internal friction

Customer journey orchestration offers great opportunities to provide better experiences for our customers, but often internal data, process, and systems gaps can get in the way of speedy implementation. Thus it is important to identify internal gaps early on.

When looking for areas where there is the least friction internally, it’s essential to consider the specific needs and pain points of your customers. However, some common areas where there may be less friction internally include:

  1. Data and analytics: If your organization already has a strong data and analytics infrastructure in place, you may experience less friction when trying to gather insights and understand customer behavior. This is because you will already have access to the tools and resources needed to analyze data and make informed decisions.
  2. Marketing automation: If your marketing team is already using marketing automation software, such as Marketo or Pardot, you may experience less friction when trying to streamline marketing processes and improve efficiency. This is because the tools and systems are already in place, making it easier to leverage technology to improve the customer journey.
  3. Customer service: If your customer service team is already using a helpdesk or ticketing system, you may experience less friction when trying to improve response times and resolution rates. This is because the tools and processes are already in place, making it easier to leverage technology to improve the customer experience.
  4. Sales enablement: If your sales team is already using a CRM system like Salesforce, you may experience less friction when trying to provide sales teams with the resources they need to close deals more efficiently. This is because the tools and processes are already in place, making it easier to leverage technology to improve the customer journey.
  5. Product development: If your product development team is already using agile methodologies and collaborative tools like Jira or Trello, you may experience less friction when trying to improve the customer experience through product enhancements and innovation. This is because the processes and tools are already in place, making it easier to leverage technology to improve the customer journey.

Looking for areas where there is the least friction internally can help you identify opportunities to create a more seamless and efficient customer experience. By focusing on these areas and leveraging existing strengths, you can simplify your efforts and achieve greater success with customer journey orchestration.
