The customer journey is the real path a prospect takes—from discovery to decision to delivery. It includes every touchpoint, every moment of friction or delight, and every internal conversation they’re having along the way.
Unlike the funnel, which is linear and operational, the customer journey is emotional and messy. It might start with a LinkedIn post, loop through a podcast, bounce off your pricing page, and return two months later via a referral.
Mapping the customer journey helps you see what they’re feeling, not just what they’re clicking. That matters when you’re trying to improve messaging, target the right segments, or fix bottlenecks in your conversion paths.
So what’s the difference between a funnel and a customer journey?
When both are mapped—and both are understood—you build a growth machine that feels frictionless, not forced.
Most teams grind for growth, but the best ones systemise it. In this step, you’ll see why a structured approach always beats random tactics. You’ll follow Random Rick, Specialist Steve, and Solid Sarah to understand how a system-driven growth approach can double revenue without doubling workload.
If your marketing and sales teams are too busy firefighting — fixing tools, chasing data, and dealing with messy handovers — you’ll never have time to focus on real growth. The Growth Operations Programme fixes your operations first, so you can finally work on scaling up.
Turn visitors into leads and booked meetings. Landing pages, nurture sequences, and conversion tests that plug leaks and accelerate hand-raisers.
