Would Your Customer Experience Pass the Coffee Test?

Imagine this:

You’re sitting across from a potential customer at a coffee shop.

They take a sip of their double mocha latte with cinnamon on top (sounds terrible, but we don’t judge), then look up and ask:

“So… how does this work?”

If you can’t clearly explain how someone buys from you - what they get, how they get it, and what happens next - before their coffee gets cold, your process might be too confusing.

And in business, confusion costs money.

Whether you sell handmade soaps, graphic design packages, digital downloads, coaching sessions, or custom dog sweaters - you need a buying process that’s simple, fast, and friendly.

Why Simplicity Sells

Let’s be real:

No one’s sitting around hoping to read a wall of text or decode a mysterious checkout process.

Your customers want to know:

1. What am I buying?

2. How do I get it?

3. What happens after I pay?

If you make them scroll, guess, or email you for info, chances are they’ll bounce faster than that one friend who always “forgets their wallet.”

A confusing process = fewer conversions.

You might be the best at what you do - but if the path to purchase feels unclear or clunky, people will hesitate.

How to Simplify Your Customer Journey (Before the Coffee Gets Cold)

You don’t need a complex sales funnel or a fancy onboarding app. You just need to make it really, really easy for someone to give you money.

Here’s how:

1. Break It Down in 3–5 Simple Steps

Think of this like a recipe - easy enough to follow without burning the kitchen down.

Example:

1. Choose your product or service

2. Place your order or book a time

3. Get an email with confirmation + next steps

4. Receive your item or attend your session

5. Ask questions or get support if needed

That’s it. Clean. Straightforward. Zero mystery.

Whether you're shipping something in a box, delivering a PDF, or offering a strategy call, your process should feel smooth and logical.

2. Use Friendly, Plain Language

Talk to your customers like a helpful human—not like a corporation from a dystopian sci-fi movie.

Instead of:

“Once payment is confirmed, our automated CRM will initiate client onboarding protocols.”

Say:

“After you check out, I’ll send an email within 24 hours with everything you need.”

Imagine your customer has never bought something like this before—because a lot of them haven’t. Don’t assume they know the lingo.

3. Put It Everywhere

Once your process is crystal clear, make it super easy to find. Post it on:

• Your homepage

• Your product or service pages

• Your email sequences

• Your order confirmation messages

• Your packaging inserts

• Your Instagram highlights or pinned posts

If someone has to hunt for the next step, you’re losing momentum.

The tools you work with are more than just conveniences; they’re the levers that propel your business forward. The right ones help you work smarter, get more customers, and grow faster - without wasted time or guesswork. Not sure which tools we're talking about?

This Applies to Every Kind of Business

It doesn’t matter what you’re selling - if someone has to guess how to buy from you, that’s a problem.

If there’s a price tag, there should be a clear path.

Clear Steps = Confident Buyers

Confidence sells. And clarity builds confidence.

So here’s your mini action plan:

• Write out your process in 3–5 steps

• Use normal human words

• Put it everywhere your customers hang out

This tiny improvement can make a big difference - no new tools, ads, or redesigns required.
