Course overview

Learn and apply customer JTBD research using an interactive ChatGPT case study.

🚀 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.


🎥 ALL SESSIONS RECORDED!

By the end, you'll walk away ready to apply:
