Customer Relationship Journey: The macro journey consisting of the universal stages of: Awareness, Knowledge, Consideration, Selection, Satisfaction/dissatisfaction, Loyalty, and Advocacy.  Customer can advance to, stay in or return to any or all of the stages of the Journey.

Customer Transactional Journey: The Transactional Journey is a subset of relationship journey and can happen once or repeatedly within relationship journey.  This is the Journey the customer takes each time to understand, select and pay for product/service.  The stages of a Transactional Journey are specific to the organization. A typical B2B Transaction Journey would cover: marketing, sales, ordering, fulfillment, billing and payment.  A typical B2C Transactional Journey would cover: marketing, purchase and use.

Customer Value-Add Journey: This is a Journey a customer takes that adds value beyond or in addition to a product or service. Examples include obtaining education/training, engaging in social networking, attending a special event like a holiday party, etc.

A. Journeys are made up of experiences, which are made up of touchpoints and influenced by factors. Factors and touchpoints individually & together drive customer decisions & perceptions. Touchpoints drive emotional connections, the key to motivating customers along the Relationship Journey to the stages of loyalty and advocacy, and to achieving the organization’s Experience Strategy.

Experiences: A series of touchpoints that combine to make up a step or component of one of the three Customer Journeys.

Touchpoints: Each interaction - communication, physical, human and sensory - with and within an organization.

Factors: Considerations that are not interactions. Examples of factors include price, location, choices, etc.

A: Valued Touchpoints are the output of Touchpoint Value Workshops and are: A standardized interaction that is customer-centric while advancing the organization's Values, Identity and strategy, and the touchpoint's goal(s).

A: Brigman’s travel originates from Jacksonville, Florida.

A: Customer Experience Management (CEM) is a new discipline.  Just as sales, marketing and accounting are disciplines, so too is CEM. 

CEM is all about improving the quality and profitability of your organization's relationships with its prospects, customers, partners and employees. Sounds easy, but this can best be accomplished through a program designed specifically to deliver value at each customer interaction, or touchpoint.

Think of it like this. Companies want to improve relationships with customers to increase sales, loyalty, and advocacy. But they often leave improving customer relationships to individual employees or customer teams. An individual employee or team can take a customer out to a ballgame or golf, but if that customer's bill is wrong or they have a bad experience with customer service, then these efforts to improve the relationship are negated. The truth is that the true owner of the relationship isn't a person or a team, but the entire organization. That's why organizations need the discipline of Customer Experience Management.

Through Hank Brigman’s implementation model, your organization will develop and implement its CEM Plan to deliver your Experience Strategy and improve customer experiences across the enterprise. The results? Consistently delivering Valued Touchpoints. This improves prospect, customer, partner and employee relationships, which means more sales and greater customer loyalty and advocacy.

Brigman's programs resonate with audiences made up of any or each of these departments.

• Executives

• Marketing

• Sales

• Customer Service

• Accounting
