Convincing potential users to sign up for your product isn’t easy. But what happens next is far more important. The latest batch of billion-dollar companies are built on high customer retention. They help their users be successful, and that means providing great onboarding. At Traction Conference, an event all about how to keep and grow customers and revenue at scale, I explained how to build onboarding based on your customers’ goals, and why when your product improves, your onboardi

Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

When a visitor or lead gets in touch on your website, it’s important to get as much context as you can around the live chat conversation you have with them. Your aim should be to understand what they want, how you can help them and to judge how fast they need a solution. With lots of inbound leads, you’ll need to prioritize which ones need a response first, and it’s not always as easy as you might expect to make this judgment call.

I was behind a truck recently that had a cool LED lighted border around the license plate. Little red lights danced around and framed the driver’s message. Here’s what this driver had displayed on his flashy license plate border: “If your reading this, than your to close.”. Do you see what I saw? Not one, not two, but four typos! The message should read: “If you’re reading this, then you’re too close.”.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

Super customer service experience is about positive feelings but leaders grouse that they can't build a business on the randomness of feelings. Well customer feelings are NOT random. Look behind the impact of the customer's request and you'll find the pain and then deliver the gain -- for them and for you. The post Super Customer Experience: Feelings Aren’t Random appeared first on KateNasser.com.

Time flies… I realized the other day that Outside In was published nearly 6 years ago. And while a lot has changed in the world and in the sphere of customer experience during that time, I firmly believe that the analysis and advice in the book are just as relevant in 2018 as they were in 2012. Part of the reason for that is that the book talks primarily about how organizations work and how they need to change—and, unlike technology, organizations don’t change all that quickly.

Product management is about solving problems. How can we help our users complete their job-to-be-done cheaper, faster or easier? Finding those problems to solve, however, becomes increasingly difficult as you scale – where the volume of feedback, and noise level of the vocal minority, compounds by the day. Not to mention changes to workflows affecting an increasingly large amount of users.

Companies that would make your mom proud prove with their actions that they have their customers’ best interest in mind. This is at the heart of companies that grow most organically—earning ardent admirers who grow their business for them. They earn a bigger piece of the pie, because they improve customers’ lives. This is a simple idea to accept, but oh-so-hard to execute.

Tax season is finally over, and many accounting and tax services providers are coming back online and starting to think of how they can improve in 2019. Maybe software needs updating, staff needs better training, or processes need to be streamlined. As the old saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. Before trying to decipher which improvement initiative will yield the highest impact, accounting and tax service providers can skip the headache entirely by simply asking clients what they can do better nex

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
