Expert Insights from Jenniffer Camacho
During this Mastermind session, Jenniffer, the Product Lead at Nespresso, shared a behind-the-scenes look at how the global coffee brand is evolving its mobile app to better meet the needs of its loyal customer base. From leveraging customer data and feedback to drive iterative improvements, to maintaining a customer-centric mindset throughout the development process, Jenniffer provided valuable lessons that all product and marketing teams can apply. Her insights shed light on the importance of adaptability, user research, and challenging internal biases - key ingredients for creating innovative, customer-loved products in any industry.
Let’s dive into the 3 key takeaways from Jenniffer’s session, covering the essential factors for success in personalising your user experience and taking an omnichannel approach.
-
Embrace Uncertainty and Adapt Quickly
Jenniffer emphasised the importance of being open to the unexpected and having the agility to adapt your product roadmap based on customer feedback. She shared how Nespresso's new mobile app development process embraces an iterative, test-and-learn approach, rather than building in a "black box". This allows the team to quickly incorporate customer insights and make changes as needed, rather than rolling out a final product that may miss the mark.
-
Prioritise Customer Data and Insights
A key lesson from Jenniffer was the critical role that customer data and user research plays in driving product decisions. Rather than relying on internal assumptions, the Nespresso team makes a concerted effort to gather direct feedback from customers through methods like beta testing and user testing. This "first grind of insights" ensures every product change is grounded in real customer needs and behaviors.
-
Remember You Are Not the User
Perhaps the most important takeaway was Jenniffer's reminder that as product builders, we can't assume our personal preferences and perspectives represent those of our target customers. She emphasised the importance of constantly challenging your own biases and staying focused on the true user experience, even if it differs from your own. Maintaining this customer-centric mindset is essential for creating products that truly delight.
Overall, Jenniffer's insights highlighted the power of an iterative, data-driven, and customer-obsessed approach to product development - a model that all product teams can learn from. By embracing uncertainty, prioritising user feedback, and staying grounded in the customer's perspective, brands like Nespresso can continually evolve their offerings to meet the changing needs of their audience.
