Brain dump: everything that happens

Service I’m mapping

Date

Before you sort anything, get it all out of your head. Write every single thing that happens with one customer: every call, text, form, wait, question and payment. Small stuff counts and messy is fine, because you’ll sort it on the next pages.

BeforeUntil they arrive

How do they hear about you? Where do they look you up?
How do they reach you, and how fast do you answer?
What do they decide, send or fill out to book?
What confirms it? What happens the day before?
How do they get to you, or let you in?

DuringThe visit or the job

Who greets them, and what do they hear first?
What do they wait for, and does anyone say how long?
What do you explain, and what could surprise them?
What changes mid-job, and how do they find out?
How do they pay?

AfterOnce they leave

What do they leave with: receipt, care tips, a next date?
When do you reach out next, and how?
How do they leave a review or send a friend?
What reminds them to come back?
If they don’t come back, would you know?

Easy to miss: tick any of these that apply to you and aren’t written down yet.

Fix it, and count what it’s costing you

Your bumpy and stuck steps: start with the stuck ones, and keep each fix small enough to try this week.

If you’re not sure how many don’t come back, count last month’s new customers and how many of them booked again; the difference is your first number.

What’s already working?

Write down why your smooth steps work, so you keep doing them as you grow.
