🎯 HOW TO USE IT:

  1. Map your actual customer journey

  2. Generate the framework

  3. Interview 5-10 customers to validate

  4. Find your biggest drop-off point

  5. Fix that first before optimizing everything

💡 PRO TIP: Most businesses obsess over getting new customers (awareness/consideration) and ignore retention. It's 5-25x cheaper to keep a customer than acquire a new one. Fix your leaks before pouring in more leads.
