Value-first onboarding and how to stop losing new users you don’t even know you’re losing

What is value-first onboarding and how should it be done? With the growth of SaaS increasing, understanding the right metric is critical. Value-fist onboarding may seem strange but it’s the best way toward growth.

Andrew Capland elaborates on the 6 steps that will help you optimise users and help your business achieve its expected potential.

One Media:

What is happiness? Is it subjective? What are certain emotions that either lead us towards it or take us away? Mo Gawdat unexpectedly lost his son in 2014 during a routine medical procedure. His world came crashing down in an instant, but he then set a mission to make 1 billion people happy. Forget everything you have heard about happiness and listen to this captivating discussion.

One Tool:

HockeyStack is a one shop stop analytics and attribution tool for SaaS. You can view marketing, sales, and product touchpoints across channels. Create reports to understand what drives the highest quality leads. 5-minute, no-code setup. It saves time and has all its features on one platform!

One Framework:

In product development, speed and quality are two important variables. Prioritising one is typically at the expense of the other. This framework will help you make that trade-off. You also need to validate (based on data) your confidence in finding a solution to your problem before using this framework

The left side:

You do not have customer data but want to validate your product or idea. In this case, speed is important. A landing page and newsletter to see if it gathers interest.

The right side:

You are confident and have the customers’ data to back it up. In this case, build the product or feature and don’t take shortcuts. You focus on high-quality output.

Decisions are based on confidence initially and then your execution. Choose your side accurately.
