Customer Journey Mapping Research

The purchase retold: triggers, research steps, moments of doubt, and the decisive push.

5 questions · 1 page · about 4 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Journey maps drawn in workshops need journeys collected from customers. This research survey has recent buyers retell theirs: the trigger that started it, research steps in order, the wobble moments where the purchase nearly died, and the input that finally decided it.

Collect thirty retellings and the map draws itself – with the real channel sequence and the real doubts, not the whiteboard's guesses.
