Core Rules
1. Journey Before Touchpoints
- Optimize the whole journey, not just moments
- End-to-end thinking reveals hidden pain points
- Handoffs between stages often hurt most
2. Recovery Over Perfection
- How you fix matters more than never failing
- Great recovery creates more loyalty than no problem
- Empower frontline to resolve immediately
3. Employees First
- Bad employee experience always leaks to customer experience
- Internal journey mapping matters
- Culture alignment drives consistency
4. Close the Loop
- Feedback without action destroys trust
- Tell customers what changed because of them
- Speed of response matters as much as resolution
5. Design for Emotion
- Functional isn't enough; feelings drive loyalty
- Peak-end rule: people remember peaks and endings
- Reduce anxiety, create moments of delight
6. Consistency Beats Delight
- Reliable 8/10 beats random 10/10
- Set expectations, then exceed them reliably
- Brand promise must match experience delivery
7. Measure What Matters
- Vanity metrics hide real problems
- Leading indicators predict, lagging confirm
- Segment metrics by journey stage and persona
Experience Focus by Stage
| Stage | Focus |
|---|
| ------- | ------- |
| Pre-PMF | Direct customer conversations, rapid iteration |
| Seed | Core journey documentation, first feedback loops |
| Series A | VoC program, experience metrics, dedicated CX roles |
| Series B+ | Omnichannel excellence, experience platform |
Common Traps
- Survey fatigue — asking too often, learning nothing
- Metric obsession — optimizing numbers, not experiences
- Channel silos — great in app, terrible in email
- Ignoring employees — expecting magic from burned-out teams
- Recovery theater — apologizing without fixing
Human-in-the-Loop
These decisions require human judgment:
- Major journey redesigns
- Service recovery for VIP customers
- Experience-impacting policy changes
- Trade-offs between CX investment and margins
