The Challenge: Misalignment and Missed Opportunities

Many businesses pour resources into Google and Meta ads, SEO, and other marketing tactics to drive leads. However, despite these efforts, many find themselves struggling with poor conversion rates and misaligned sales and marketing teams. The issue? They’re addressing the symptoms, not the root cause.

In fact, research from Forrester shows that companies with aligned sales and marketing teams see a 32% higher revenue growth rate than those without alignment. Misalignment leads to inefficient lead nurturing, where marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) fail to convert into sales-qualified leads (SQLs). Sales teams are often frustrated by unqualified leads, while marketing teams feel their efforts go to waste.

Insight: A fragmented customer journey results in missed opportunities and poor collaboration between sales and marketing. Without alignment, you’re likely to struggle with lead conversion and closing deals.

The Solution: Mapping the Customer Journey

This is where customer journey mapping becomes invaluable. At Mo Works, our Discovery Phase is designed to map out your entire customer journey—from the moment a potential customer first becomes aware of your business, all the way to the post-purchase phase. By taking a holistic view of every touchpoint, we uncover gaps and opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

According to Deloitte Access Economics, businesses in Australia that invest in customer experience see 5.1 times higher revenue growth than those that don’t. By mapping out your journey, you not only identify areas for improvement but also align your sales and marketing teams to create a seamless experience for your customers.

Our Discovery Phase provides a clear understanding of how your customers interact with your business at each stage—awareness, engagement, decision, onboarding, and post-purchase. This might involve optimising your website for a better user experience, refining your content strategy, or aligning your sales and marketing efforts more closely to ensure leads are nurtured effectively.

Insight: Investing in customer journey mapping can result in significant business growth, especially when focusing on delivering an enhanced customer experience across all touch points.

The Benefits: Aligning Sales and Marketing for Real Growth

One of the biggest benefits of mapping the customer journey is the alignment it brings between your sales and marketing teams. When both teams have a clear understanding of the journey, they can work together to nurture leads, close deals, and build lasting customer relationships.

In complex industries such as energy and manufacturing, where the sales cycle can be long, a well-mapped journey ensures that marketing efforts are targeted and relevant at each stage. According to Forrester, companies that focus on aligning their sales and marketing teams through customer journey mapping experience 38% higher win rates on deals.

Additionally, businesses that actively manage and optimise their customer journey report a 23% increase in average deal size. This alignment helps ensure that by the time a lead reaches the sales team, they are engaged, informed, and ready to make a purchase decision.

Insight: Aligning your sales and marketing teams through journey mapping can significantly increase lead quality and improve deal closure rates.

Driving Efficiency and Growth with Digital Tools

The Discovery Phase goes beyond just mapping the journey—it also leverages digital tools to streamline processes and increase efficiency. The Australian Digital Transformation Index found that businesses that embrace digital solutions in customer journey mapping saw 21% faster revenue growth and 15-20% cost savings in their sales and marketing efforts.

By identifying opportunities for automation and better processes, businesses can save time and reduce costs while still delivering a personalised and seamless customer experience. This is particularly important for industries where sales cycles are long, as it ensures consistent communication and follow-up with prospects.

Insight: Implementing digital tools and automation in your customer journey mapping helps reduce costs and improve operational efficiency, leading to faster revenue growth.

The Discovery Phase: A Partnership for Success

At Mo Works, our Discovery Phase is more than just a service—it’s a partnership. We work closely with you to understand your business objectives, the challenges you face, and the unique needs of your customers. By the end of the Discovery Phase, you’ll have a clear and actionable plan that not only maps out your customer journey but also prioritises the steps needed to improve it.

By investing in the Discovery Phase, businesses can expect to see improved alignment between sales and marketing, enhanced customer experiences, and more efficient processes—all of which contribute to long-term growth.

Insight: Australian businesses that prioritise customer experience and journey mapping see up to 26% higher gross margins and an 8-12% increase in customer lifetime value, according to PwC Australia.
