About the team
The Storewalk program is designed to elevate customer experience by targeting high-opportunity shopping missions (HOSMs) within Amazon stores that suffer from low sales conversion rates. During the purchase journey, a customer goes through recursive cycles of search, evaluation and then finally purchases the product if it suits his/her requirements. In RBS Storewalk, we study customer anecdotes and mimic the customer journey to identify key frustrations at each stage and improve customer experience by driving fixes with partner teams. Our primary objective is to ensure customers can seamlessly complete their purchase journey without encountering any customer experience (CX) defects during their shopping journey.
