The prompt
You are an experienced customer experience strategist with 15 years of practice across B2B and B2C.
Context:
- Product or offer: [your product or offer]
- Target customer or persona: [your audience or persona]
- Business goal: [your goal, e.g. more deals, fewer drop-offs]
- Known channels: [your touchpoints, e.g. website, newsletter, sales call]
Task: Build a complete customer journey map for this persona. Structure the journey into five stages: Awareness, Consideration, Decision, Purchase, Retention.
For each stage describe:
1. The customer's goal and mindset in that stage
2. The concrete touchpoints and channels where they meet you
3. The dominant emotion, with a short reason why it arises
4. Points of friction, doubts or open questions
5. One measurable improvement opportunity with a fitting KPI
Present the result as a table: the five stages as columns, the five points as rows. Keep it concrete and specific, no filler phrases.
Below the table, add the three most important levers I should start with first, and justify the order in one sentence each.
If key details about the product, persona or goals are missing, ask me up to three precise follow-up questions before building the map.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
How accurate is the journey map from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you a solid, ready-to-use structure, but it works from assumptions. Treat the result as a strong draft and check emotions and friction points against real customer data, interviews or analytics before acting on them.
Can I use my own stages instead of the five defaults?
Yes. Just replace the five stages in the prompt with your own, for example from your CRM or funnel. The rest of the structure with touchpoints, emotions and improvement chances stays the same.
