A Pain POINT is any problem that your customer (TARGET CUSTOMER) may experience along their customer journey.
Your goal is to create the PERFECT customer experience.
Common but Critical Pain Points
- Information- can they quickly find out critical information that they may need to buy (warrantees, free shipping and returns, chat support, etc.)
- Contacting your company- http://Hotels.com vs. Amazon. Amazon still has the best phone customer service available and others make it impossible to speak with an actual person who can help- hotels.com, Comast, etc., etc.
- Buying made fast and simple- one-click, Paypal, 4 pay plans, memberships. etc.
- Additional products and services that your customer may want and need (and not even realize they need) such as making suggested items they may like.
- FREE RETURNS WITH A LABEL- make returns effortless not a project
- Survey to see what more they want need or wish you would improve
Sean shares his approach to the drudgery zone, disinterest zone, and distraction zone, and desire zone. Finally there is the development zone. This is inspired from Michael Hyatt's book, Free to Focus.
