The basic formula for jobs-to-be-done is simple: When ______ , I want to ______, so I can ______.
Intercom has written extensively about how it applies the jobs-to-be-done framework to product development. Looking at Intercom's marketing site, it's quickly apparent just how obsessively it practices this habit.
Intercom built a single workflow for managing customer communications, and each of the company's products solves a sub-job that's a part of the larger one.
On the homepage, you see marketing copy that's super broad:
Intercom makes communicating with your customers "simple and
personal for everyone." The landing page for each product-
Acquire, Engage, Customer Feedback, Customer Support-literally
paints the job-to-be-done, and reinforces it with clear marketing
copy.
