Course overview
🚀 This course will teach you the core principles and methods behind Customer Jobs-to-Be-Done (JTBD) research — leveraging the power of OpenAI's ChatGPT (Generative AI)!
🎉 BONUS 3RD SESSION just added!
You'll learn:
🔍 → How to create Synthetic Personas to evaluate customer progress through the eyes of individuals with different motivations, desires, avoidances, and jobs-to-be-done.
🧠 → How to apply the Big Five Personality Traits model (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) to create three or more synthetic personas.
🛠️ → The critical difference between Product-Market Fit and Language-Market Fit — focus, goal, indicators, and outcome.
🎯 → How to use ChatGPT prompting to uncover Language-Market Fit across synthetic personas, testing headlines, sub-headlines, social proof, and features-as-benefits.
📣 → How to apply what you learn about Language-Market Fit across your website, email marketing, and social media..
🧑💻 Hands-on Case Study Experience
We'll work through a real-world case study using 30+ interactive ChatGPT prompting scripts (yours to keep!) to make the learning process fun and interactive.
You'll also master 📚 The Wheel of Progress® Framework, covering the Cycle of Customer Progress:
🌀 First Thought
🕵️♂️ Passively Looking
⚡ 1st Triggering Event
🔎 Actively Looking
⚡ 2nd Triggering Event
🤔 Deciding
✅ Hiring/Firing
📱 Consuming
♻️ Continuous Use
🛤️ You'll dive deep into identifying the Twelve (12) Elements of Progress:
📅 Events
🎯 Forces and Desires (habits, pushes, desires, avoidances, pulls, anxieties)
🎯 Jobs, Pains, and Gains
🧰 Solutions (core job, prior, in-conjunction, co-existing)
🚧 Constraints (internal, external, temporal)
Plus, you'll understand how Switching Behavior happens when promoting forces (pushes, desires, pulls) outweigh blocking forces (habits, avoidances, anxieties).
🧘♀️ Case Study Focus:
You'll act as a researcher, product marketer, product manager, or experience designer, exploring the customer JTBD of "achieving mindfulness" through The Serenity App.
