Most people have at least once caught themselves thinking: “Wow, this service works smoothly, seems to be perfectly organized”. But not many people realize that the easier things seem to be, the more well-thought-out they are.
Car sharing service is all the rage these days. And since clients have a long list of offers to choose from, they become extremely picky, and that makes service owners bend over backwards to deliver an outstanding experience to their clients, which is a competitive advantage.

Break each persona’s journey into stages. The stages will fully depend on your mapping goals. For example, if you know that your clients experience problems when choosing a vehicle, focus on these journey stages.
4. Map out the journey
Use stickers and a whiteboard, some offline software like PowerPoint, or professional journey mapping tools to build a CJM for your car sharing service. How to do it? Read the guide on the
