5 years ago, Jonathan Kim started Appcues to help product and growth teams create more relevant onboarding flows. Today, Appcues serves over 1000 customers and has grown to nearly 70 employees. Jonathan’s idea all started at the end of his career at Hubspot, as he was having a conversation with his boss, the future founder of Drift, David Cancel. In his words: “David Cancel comes over to my desk and he's like, ‘Hey man, like I've been seeing you and you're either at 110% and you're super passionate about something, or you're just not passionate at all. We caught up a little later and you know I started talking about this thing. I was like, oh man, how about we crack this huge problem around user onboarding — and check out this landing page I built and it could be like a real product.”And he said, "The way you light up about that, ‘that's what you're really passionate about.’” He was like, "You should go do that." And I said, “Okay I guess you're right. I just kinda quit on the spot because I was so passionate about the problem.”In this episode you’ll learn:0:00 Introduction 1:28 What exactly is Appcues?

Wed, 15 May 2019 12:22:08 +0000 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Seo-House/~3/zgx57F_oCtM/103-richard-bretschneider-seohouse 4b3533aac89db88aa8c85f89fc6bc284 SEO-House Podcast Spätestens seit den letzten Updates ist UX ein größeres Thema für alle SEOs geworden. Als alter Informationswissenschaftler habe ich beides zwar schon immer zusammen gesehen, bin aber selbst definitiv tiefer im SEO als im UX. Zeit deshalb, einen UX-Experten in die Show zu holen. Mit Richard Bretschneider von eresult haben wir einen echten UX Experten gefunden. Richard selbst sagt von sich, dass er wenig mit SEO zu tun hat. Dieses merkt man auch direkt daran, dass er andere Begriffe verwendet. Auch wenn diese quasi ein Synonym zu unseren sind, haben sie doch andere Konnotationen, andere Perspektiven und erweitern so den Raum zum Denken, zumindest für mich. User Experience-Einführung Nach der Vorstellung von Richard sind wir direkt ins Thema eingestiegen. Richard hat eine schnelle Einführung in das 1x1 der UX gegeben. Wobei es “die” UX an sich nicht gibt. Zielgruppe und Motivation sind entscheidend für eine gute UX. Wenn beides nicht klar ist, dann kann ich auch keine gute UX anbieten. Ich kann zwar funktional gute Seiten bauen, wenn ich Regeln wie räumliche Nähe, Kontrast etc. einhalte. Ob am Ende der Besucher zum Nutzer wird entscheidet dieser allein aus seiner Motivation, solange ich keine funktionalen Fehler mache. Klingt sehr nach der Search Intent Diskussion wie bei uns, sind halt immer Menschen um die es geht. Auch steuern wir mit der Traffic-Akquisition die Motivation mit. Wenn wir auf Werbemitteln versprechen geben, müssen diese auf der Landingpage auch eingelöst werden. Gleiches gilt für die SERP-Snippets im SEO, die am Ende ja unsere Werbetexte für die Website sind. Auch wird klar, dass ich für unterschiedliche Motivationen der Nutzer uU verschiedene Seiten zum selben Produkt benötige. Was einige Streitgespräche in Unternehmen abkürzen könnte. Wenn man nicht versucht einen Kompromiss für alle Sichten zu finden – der am Ende meist keinem genügt – kann man so intern Frieden finden und den Kunden besser bedienen. User Onboarding für eine bessere Bounce Rate Dieses Thema war für mich das spannendste. Nach dem letzten Google Update wurde viel über die Bounce-Rate diskutiert. Als eine Kennzahl dafür, ob man den User Intent getroffen hat und Gewinner des Updates eine tendenziell bessere Bounce Rate aufweisen. Richard spricht hier vom User Onboarding. Also wie kann der Nutzer schnell überzeugt werden, sich mit meiner Website, APP etc. zu beschäftigen und welche Faktoren sind dabei hinderlich. Mir hat diese Sichtweise gut gefallen. Geht es doch nicht darum, wie ich eine technische Kennzahl verbessere. Vielmehr steht beim Begriff “User Onboarding” der Nutzer schon in der Aufgabe. Es ist auch wesentlich positiver konnotiert. Wie kann ich die Nutzer an Bord bringen? Klingt doch besser als "wie verhindere ich, dass Nutzer abspringen" als von etwas abhalte, was er eigentlich tun will. Ähnliche aber eben nicht die gleiche Problemstellung.

Tag 5 des UX Tagebuchs, Freitag der 11. Januar 2019. Heute fährst du mit mir an die Hochschule zu meinen Studenten, anschließend zu einem Kundentermin und dann wieder zurück an meinen Schreibtisch.

On this week's episode of The SaaS Revolution Show, I talk with Jonathan Kim, CEO and Founder of Appcues about the user onboarding that acquires, wins and retains customers. While working as a front-end engineer at HubSpot, Jonathan got increasingly frustrated by the fact that B2B companies didn't have the sort of seamless self-service onboarding that the likes of Facebook or Twitter had. Whether it was salespeople, account managers or customer success reps, they all did the same thing day in and day out manually onboarding users. Before long Jonathan decided to leave HubSpot and pursue finding a solution on his own, fulfilling his dream to be an entrepreneur. That was five years ago and Appcues was born. Today, the company based out of Boston has 55 employees and has just raised a Series A funding. Listen on to hear: Why user onboarding is important How to go about creating great user onboarding What are the effects of good user onboarding Appcues Director of Marketing, Ty Magnin will be joining us on the SaaStock 18 growth stage where he will talk about product-led growth. For the three days of the conference, he will be joined by speakers such as Morten Primdahl, Co-founder, Zendesk; Heather Zynczak, CMO, Pluralsight, Corey Thomas, CEO Rapid7 and many more. Grab a ticket for the conference now and sign up for the bootcamps and workshops we will be running on Monday the 15th, which are limited in capacity https://www.saastock.com/tickets User onboarding is such an important part of any SaaS success that we are collaborating on the creation of the most extensive onboarding book to date. We will be presenting 30 case studies from companies like Intercom, Drift, Buffer, Clearbit and Typeform among others during SaaStock18. We still have a few more case study slots so if you are particularly proud of your user onboarding you should get in touch. Be quick and Send an email to irina@saastock.com stating your interest.

If you’re a marketer, you probably spend a huge amount of your time slaying your acquisition strategy. The usual story goes something like this: You go behind a myriad of channels, spend heaps of dollars, craft the perfect message and call-to-action and wait for your potential buyers to land on your website. Several optimizations, personalizations, and conversations later, the visitor converts into a user. Phew! Happy ending? No. In a span of one week, around 86% of converted leads drop off and never come back (12.18 of this episode). Two words that can prevent this leakage from happening – Great Onboarding. Let’s look at some non-vanity metrics that can translate your acquisition costs into ROI – Activation, Retention, Revenue, and Referral. They are all by-products of one single thing – Onboarding. Limited to tooltips, siloed help centers, and transaction mailers, onboarding today has been tossed between customer success, product management, and product marketing. And most often, that one crucial metric that can have the biggest impact of onboarding goes unmeasured and unoptimized. Close the gaps in onboarding by tuning into this action-packed episode. We chat with Ty on: How GTM strategies today have transformed from an enterprise-based to consumer-based approach Onboarding in a world of self-service and freemium experience The ideal owner of onboarding: Whose court is the ball in, really? The metric that has the most impact on MRR and why it’s not acquisition or retention The nuance between user onboarding and activation The analogy between onboarding and dating How Canva gets onboarding right The written word and why it’s the most important quality for marketers

Today on the Startup Chat, Steli and Hiten talk about what user testing is, why it’s important, and some tips on how to do it right. This comes after a series of blog post Hiten and his business partner have been working on around the topic. After user testing products like Duolingo and Grammarly, Hiten shares what he’s learned from the process, including what works so well for those products and what could be done to improve the overall user experience. Hiten also shares some tips on how you can user test your own products the right way and, if you choose to, test those of your competitors as well. Time Stamped Show Notes: 00:00 About today’s topic. 00:44 Why this topic was chosen for this episode. 02:36 What user testing means. 03:43 Hiten talks about the user test he carried out on Grammarly. 04:19 How much the study cost. 05:10 Why it’s a good idea to user test your competitor's products. 06:08 Lessons Hiten learned from user testing Grammarly. 10:40 Tips to help you user test your products or those of your competitors. 3 Key Points: User testing is the ability to see how people react to an experience. If you're trying to figure out what your users hate about your product, you need to ask them. User testing allows you to understand what’s working and what’s not.   [0:00:00] Steli Efti: Hey everybody, this is Steli Efti.   [0:00:03] Hiten Shah: And this is Hiten Shah. Today on the Start-up Chat, we're gonna talk about a series of blog posts I've been doing with my business partner Marie, around user testing and the value of it. It was a hard one for us to share, and we'll talk about why. Steli, you wanted to talk about it, so I'd love to get your take, as always, because apparently you're reading my crap.   [0:00:26] Steli Efti: Yeah, dude. You're killing it with product habits. Again, for people that are listening. I'm pretty sure that people that listen to the Start-up Chat are already subscribed to Product Habits, but for those that are new that haven't, go to ProductHabits.com and subscribe. I've been on your email list for a long time now, and the content you're sharing right now is the best content you've ever shared, in my opinion. Really it's-   [0:00:51] Hiten Shah: Wow, thank you.   [0:00:52] Steli Efti: It is killer. It is really, really fucking good. The emails that you send are really good. I know that you and Marie, you've kind of gone from a model of considering having a content team that writes these emails, to getting back to the two of you writing these emails, and spending a lot of time back and forth until you get it right. And it really fucking shows. It's unfortunate, but there's no shortcut to excellence and to greatness. You have to put in the work. I love the new format right now, the new thing that you guys do where you do these research studies on other companies, right. On their products, on their user onboarding. You do really deep dives and then you share the deep dives and the learnings that you have with brands that are pretty popular. And are teaching even how they could do things better. So I love that content. It's incredibly insightful. I wanted to pick the last one you did on Grammarly, and share some of the insights you learned there. And then for people that want to learn more, they can just go to ProductHabits.com and read these user research or product research studies in much more depth and detail. But let's talk a little bit about user onboarding and what you've learned through doing these deep dives so far. What are some of the key learnings that you guys took out of it as takeaways?   [0:02:16] Hiten Shah: Yeah, absolutely. A couple things. One, for those of you that don't know what user testing is,

Jonathan Kim took an interesting path to becoming the founder of a tech company. A journalism major at BU, Jonathan taught himself how to code before becoming a software engineer at HubSpot. It was there that he identified the problem companies face with onboarding users to platforms. Instead of wanting to solve this problem with people, he wanted to solve it with product. To solve this he started Appcues, a user onboaring company for software companies.   In this episode, Jonathan shares amongst other things: What most companies get wrong about user onboarding When companies should start automating user onboarding What frustrates users the most How to use UX to gain the user’s trust Why he wouldn’t focus on finding a co-founder if starting over Why Appcues engineers also handle customer support Links from this episode: David Cancel Fasten Wistia Litmus Firebase Keen IO Price Intelligently Buffer’s transparency dashboard Hojoko The Advantage Lean In   If you liked this episode: Follow the podcast on Twitter Subscribe on iTunes or your podcast app and write a review Get in touch with feedback, ideas, or to say hi: nic {AT} startupbostonpodcast [DOT] com Music by: Broke For Free

Attention WordPress agency owners…or hopeful owners! In today's episode, I sit down with Jennifer Bourn of Bourn Creative and hash out what it takes to go from freelancer mode to agency mode. One of the lessons I'd like you to take away from this chat is sharpening your onboarding process. That subtle, yet oh-so-important phase from the first e-mail contact up to price negotiations round. We'll cover that and more in today's episode! Interview with Jennifer Bourn Can you purchase one specific software package and get the magic key to organizing your business, getting more clients and generating more revenue? Acquiring a software package is just a the first step to creating a path or process called client onboarding.

Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to make an independent living selling your expertise? In my book Authority I lay down an end-to-end plan for how to research, write, and publish a book to an excited and profitable audience so you can do just that. As it turns out, the methods I outline in Authority work extremely well for many people. Luckily I was able to get a few people who've had amazing success on a hangout; we talked for a while about their experiences publishing their first books (and earning very impressive revenues from them). Keep in mind that none of these talented folks had big audiences when they started.This is part 1 of a two part episode showcasing some of our most successful Authority customers.
