Transcripts
Note that the Customer Segment portion has 3 sub sections
Jobs, Pains and Gains. Let’s go through them one by one.
First, Jobs.
These are simply things that the customers are
trying to get done in their work or in their life.
For example, customers of taxi aggregators like Uber, are trying to solve the problem
of getting a ride to work or getting picked up from a friend’s home at midnight.
So a customer job could be a problem they are trying to solve, a task
they are trying to perform or complete and the needs they are trying to satisfy.
Keep in mind that jobs should be described from the point of view of the customer.
What may not be important to you may be extremely important to the customer.
Also you must remember that not all jobs are equally important for the customer.
Some matter more to the customer than others.
A customer may deem a job important because it occurs frequently
or because it results in an outcome which is important.
Next are the Pains.
Pains are things that annoy a customer before,
during or after trying to get a job done
or it maybe something that prevents a customer from getting a job done.
Pains describe potential bad outcomes, or risks,
related to getting a job done badly or not getting it done at all.
And just as jobs can be important or insignificant,
a customer pain can be moderate or severe.
Next, Let’s look at Customer gains.
Gains are the outcomes or benefits that the customer actually wants.
There are some gains that are expected, or even
required, whereas some come as a pleasant surprise.
You should keep in mind that a gain can go from being something just nice to have,
to something highly essential.
Since there will be many jobs, pains and gains,
all of which varying in importance to the
customer, it is a good idea to prioritise them.
Use a simple table to do so.
Start with the most important or essential on top and the least at the bottom.
So now, let us use an example to understand the canvas better.
