Consider this,

After a tiresome workweek, you woke up late at the weekend. But, after roaming around the house, you realize you lack some groceries. What would you do?

Earlier times, even in pre-covid years, we used to buy from shops or supermarkets. But!! First, You search it online, review the products, quantity, time of delivery, and budget. If the need is immediate, visit the shop. Since you can wait, you order it online.

In the payment section, you get a discount added, and done the order is ready to ship.

Is it over?

Wait, As the order is yet to deliver.

Then, when you track your order on the website or your app. The app gives tracking details of operations. Like, For instance, locations, time duration, and transportation. You finally receive the notification of delivery, and (doorbell rings) here’s your delivery.

But, what happens when you don’t like it?

Will you keep it?

Let’s say you return it, and you call customer service. The spokesperson asks for the bill number, suggests another option. But you stand firm on returning it. The person who accepted your request shared refund procedures. And a few days later, you got refunded. And finally, you return your order.

Sigh!! That’s a long process,

And why would we take this example?

Relax!! We will explain the contribution of CRM in the buyer’s journey with the above example.
