Free tools to define your customers

Customer Empathy Map

A Customer Empathy Map is used to put yourself in the shoes of your target customer. When creating advertising messages it’s easy to let personal bias creep in and do things from your perspective. However this tool challenges you to approach the solutions from a customers perspective

Customer Persona Template

A Customer Persona Template is used to capture what you know about your customer and to back it up with data. Although it may seem a little simplistic, this is a good exercise to go through with your team. The information should be free of assumptions which is a good reason to co-create this with your sales and direct customer service teams. You could incorporate direct quotes or feedback from market research.

Customer Value Proposition

A Customer Value proposition will help you articulate what you are delivering for your customers. Be prepared to put yourself in their shoes again to understand the benefits and proof points that you are offering, taking away any risks to determine the value you are creating. This may be challenging to draft at first but it’s the best way to get to a simple statement about what your business delivers. Taking this a step further, you might want to translate it into a short paragraph statement. Using the prompts below, have a go at writing this value statement.

Tencent Voove

Tencent is most widely known for it’s social media app WeChat but their new video conferencing platform is worth checking out for its ability to host up to 300 people in HD video conferencing with a handful of AI enabled features. Who could look past the Beauty App function to fool your colleagues into thinking you’ve gone all out for the meeting when really you’re still wearing your pyjamas!

Google Meet

What is Google Meet? It’s one of the simplest video conferencing platforms to use, especially if you’re using Gmail or familiar with the Google Suite platforms. As more people are working or learning remotely, Google has opened up it’s premium features for free. So anyone can now hold video conferences for up to 250 people, or setup live streaming for up to 100,000 viewers and recording.

Slack

What is Slack exactly? In the beginning it looks like another messaging platform but it’s the integrated widgets which make this a powerful collaboration tool. Each project or group can be setup as a “Channel” allowing you to be across multiple projects with people within and outside of your business. With built in apps for your Calendar, Documents and Cloud drives this is an easy way to be efficient and share stuff, whilst chatting all in real-time.
