How to Map Customer Entry
A step-by-step approach to tracing every path a person takes from intent to a next action.
You cannot fix a path you have not mapped. Mapping customer entry means tracing every route a person takes from the moment they show intent to the moment the business creates a clear next action.
List every entry point
Calls, forms, chat, referrals, walk-ins, after-hours. Write down every place a person can first reach the business.
Trace each path to its next action
For each entry point, follow what happens next. Does it route, qualify, book, or stall?
Mark where the path ends
Identify every place the path stops without a clear next action. These are your front door problems.
Assign an owner to each open loop
Every unfinished path needs a named owner. No owner means no follow-up.
Make the loops visible
Put open inquiries somewhere they can be seen and tracked, not buried in a shared inbox.
