📌 Introduction
In a competitive market like travel—especially for agencies offering personalized experiences—the customer journey begins long before booking and continues well after the trip ends. The CXO methodology helps map all critical touchpoints, identify emotions, expectations, and friction points, and create a seamless, memorable, and differentiated experience.
🧭 Challenge
A boutique travel agency receives leads through multiple channels and relies heavily on referrals, but struggles with:
- Unstructured processes (e.g., informal WhatsApp communication)
- No unified customer history
- Difficulty measuring satisfaction and acting on feedback
- Lack of segmentation for post-trip campaigns and loyalty programs
🎯 Objective
- Streamline and optimize the end-to-end customer journey, from first contact to repeat bookings
- Centralize interaction history for personalized service
- Implement experience-driven KPIs (e.g., satisfaction, NPS)
- Build loyalty and referral opportunities
🧩 Applied CXO Strategy
- Journey Mapping & Research
- Quick customer interviews (via Typebot or forms)
- Phases mapped: Inspiration → Inquiry → Proposal → Booking → Pre-Trip → Travel → Post-Trip
- Unified Customer Support Hub
- Integrate channels (email, WhatsApp, website forms, social media) via Chatwoot
- Personalized responses based on customer profile & history
- CRM integration (Krayin or n8n) to track every interaction
- Satisfaction & NPS Analysis
- Automated post-trip survey (48h after return, via Mautic + Typebot)
- Segment customers into promoters/passives/detractors for targeted follow-ups
- Personas & Customer Segmentation
- Analyze behavior patterns: family trips, romantic getaways, adventure travel, senior travelers
- Define personas based on goals and expectations
- Loyalty & Referral Programs
- Tiered rewards: discounts on second trips, free upgrades, exclusive experiences
- Incentivize referrals (e.g., “Refer a friend, get a free spa day”)
