Heute freue ich mich, Robin Sharma als Gast begrüßen zu dürfen. Robin ist UX-Generalist mit Design-Fokus und arbeitet bei move:elevator, einer der größten inhabergeführten Digitalagenturen Deutschlands mit Kunden wie AUDI BKK, Stepstone, LUEG und dem Phantasialand.Seit 2020 ist er Teil des Teams und hat 2022 den Schritt vom Ruhrpott nach Sachsen gemacht, wo er am Dresdner Standort in einem agilen, crossfunktionalen Team arbeitet. Besonders stolz ist er darauf, dass er das Thema User Research im Unternehmen nachhaltig verankern konnte – insbesondere seit seiner CPUX-F-Fortbildung gemeinsam mit Kolleg:innen. Während Wireframes und Webdesigns sein tägliches Brot sind, liegt ihm vor allem die Durchführung von Usability-Tests und Interviews am Herzen – am liebsten „quick & dirty“, ein Prinzip, das er übrigens aus diesem Podcast mitgenommen hat.Neben der Arbeit steht für Robin die Familie an erster Stelle – und wenn er nicht gerade UX-Strategien entwickelt, verwöhnt er seine Liebsten mit selbstgemachter Pizza aus 72-Stunden-Teig oder Smashburgern. Außerdem ist er unter dem Künstlernamen Novvel musikalisch aktiv, produziert Chill Beats, schreibt Songs, spielt Gitarre und lernt aktuell zusammen mit einer seiner Töchter Klavier.Wir sprechen mit Robin darüber, wie er den Mut zu "quick and dirty" User Testing gefunden hat, wie ihm User Insights mit emotionaler Musik helfen, Pitches zu gewinnen und warum für ihn Support Teams wahre UX-Goldgruben sind.Robins LinksRobins LinkedInmove:elevator WebsiteChillbeats NovvelEchofuchs (Deutsche Texte, Indie-Pop)RessourcenE31 über BenchmarkingCPUX-F FortbildungSponsor: uxcon Viennauxcon vienna wird fünf – und das wird vom 6. bis 8.

Eliot Brooks is the CEO and co-founder of Cocoon. Cocoon is driving the industrial circular economy, starting with a process that helps the steel industry continue supplying a critical feedstock for cement production. This feedstock is increasingly at risk as steelmaking transitions from coal-based blast furnaces to lower-emission electric arc furnaces. Cocoon was founded on the realization that as industries decarbonize, certain process changes disrupt circular supply chains. The connection between the slag byproduct of steelmaking and the demands of cement production is their starting focus. Earlier this year, Cocoon announced a $5.4 million pre-seed round led by Wireframe, Gigascale, SOSV, and Celsius Industries.In this episode, we cover: [1:33] Introduction to Cocoon[3:13] The challenge steel decarbonization poses for the cement industry[9:56] Cocoon's process for transforming steel slag into a cementitious material[10:51] Eliot's background and journey to working on this technology[15:46] Cocoon's business model and go-to-market strategy[19:43] Decarbonization pathways for steel and the role of electric arc furnaces[21:10] Cocoon's current technology readiness and near-term deployment plans[22:05] Building industrial expertise at Cocoon[25:07] Comparing the US and Europe as initial target markets[27:57] Cocoon's recent $5.4 million pre-seed funding round[30:00] Eliot's perspective on bringing expertise from other industries to address challenges in steelmakingEpisode recorded on Nov 20, 2024 (Published on Jan 16, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?

We start with some questions debating User Stories vs Wireframes, how to break an Epic into User Stories, and whether you can be a Product Manager and be liked. And then we dig into the latest ways AI is enabling humans to do terrible things, including a start-up that wants to scan your junk for STIs in a medically inaccurate way, an eastern European candidate who possibly lost his election thanks to an AI Deep Fake, and the US House of Representatives blocking access to Microsoft's Copilot AI before it could accidentally leak government secrets.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, where every click counts, crafting compelling copy and designing user experiences that resonate with your audience can be the difference between stagnation and skyrocketing success.  For today's episode, Jaryd Krause has invited Chris Silvestri to share his expert advice in copywriting and UX that creates exceptional profits. Chris is the founder and conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy, a company specializing in assisting SaaS and ecommerce businesses in converting website visitors into loyal customers. His professional journey has taken him from a background in software engineering in industrial automation to copywriting and UX design at a usability testing startup. As a "conversion alchemist," Chris leverages his diverse skill set to help clients achieve growth and success. They talked about digital psychology. How much work goes into research when creating clever copywriting and user experience? How does Chris separate the research into three different areas? What are they, and why does he do that? They also dive into constructing a homepage that your audience loves and wants to take the next step with you. Why is good copywriting not about fancy words and the actual writing itself? And what good branding can do, examples of good branding and how to use these strategies for yourself? There's so much value in this episode that it's something you definitely won't want to miss. Tune in now!     Episode Highlights 03:27 What is digital psychology?  09:08 The 3 important areas for copywriting and UX research 12:22 Proper implementation of collected data 20:29 CTAs depend on the type of decision makers 34:40 How to be good at copywriting?  37:36 How can businesses set themselves apart from the competition?     Key Takeaways ➥ Chris explains that digital psychology is his branded way of defining his services, aiming to be more specific than traditional copywriting. It involves understanding people, and research is a significant part of it, making up about 70% of his work. He dives deep into understanding the thought processes, decision-making, and knowledge gaps of potential and existing customers, using this research to inform his copywriting work.   ➥ In homepage development and testing, Chris specializes in user-centric strategies. One of his key focuses is on homepage positioning, which begins by addressing the immediate needs and thoughts of visitors, aligning with their intent and concerns. Furthermore, he tailors the placement of Call to Action (CTA) elements based on user types, distinguishing between fast and slow decision-makers. Chris relies on data-driven insights to inform the precise positioning of CTAs. The testing process is divided into several stages, starting with usability testing, an initial phase involving real users to identify usability issues. Wireframes and mockups come into play for early usability testing, and high-fidelity mockups are subjected to further validation. This meticulous approach extends into the development phase, ensuring that the website engages users effectively and guides them seamlessly through their online journey.   ➥ Chris highlights the significance of understanding a client's brand personality and using it consistently in messaging, which builds trust and allows for artistic expression while staying on-brand. They discuss how creativity can set businesses apart, even in perceived "boring" industries like SaaS B2B, by giving them a unique voice and angle on their value proposition.   About The Guest Chris Silvestri is the founder and conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy, where they help SaaS and ecommerce businesses convert more of their website visitors into loyal and excited customers. He went from software engineer in industrial automation to copywriter, then to UX designer at a usability testing startup. As a conversion alchemist, he combines everything he learns along the way to help his clients grow.

And we all remember stories. And why is that? It's how we connect. It's how we share experiences. And our experiences, well, that is our story.” - 00:03:52 Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsSimplify to Amplify. When communicating your vision, it is crucial to keep it simple and easily understandable. Avoid complex explanations that may confuse or overwhelm your team. By simplifying your vision, you increase the chances of it being remembered and shared effectively.Engage the Emotions. Facts tell, but stories sell. Craft a narrative that hits the heart and makes your team see themselves as the heroes of the story. By making your team the hero, you create a sense of purpose and alignment that motivates them to execute the vision with enthusiasm.Foster Open Dialogue. Communication is a two-way street. Create a no-judgment zone for brainstorming and idea sharing. By fostering open dialogue, you empower your team to contribute their ideas and perspectives, leading to better alignment and collaboration.Start with Wireframing. Wireframing is like a digital sketch, a visual representation of your ideas. It's a powerful tool that anyone can use, not just designers or developers. It helps you flesh out your ideas and iterate before diving into UI design.Remote Work Culture. Remote work is here to stay, and companies need to adapt. Embrace collaborative tools and asynchronous workflows to replicate in-person experiences. Set boundaries and prioritize work-life balance to prevent burnout.Guest ResourcesLeon Barnard (Twitter): https://twitter.com/leonbarnardLeon Barnard (Linkedin):

Wireframe Ventures backs early-stage founders focused on the health of people and the planet. Co-founders Harsh Patel and Paul Straub make initial investments of $500K to $2m at the seed or pre-seed stage, and then work closely with founders to turn their world changing ideas into scaled companies. For example, Wireframe led the seed round in Span.io, to reinvent the hundred year old electric panel, and has since raised over $120M to bring his vision from concept to commercial deployment, and frequently makes early investments in companies at the forefront of scientific innovation like Mammoth Biosciences, co-founded by Trevor Martin and Nobel Prize winner Professor Jennifer Doudna.

Let me ask you something. How confident would you be buying a meal from a food truck that is so rusted and smoke-stained that you can't make out its name on the side? Or how confident would you be staying at a motel where the paint was peeling off the doors, siding was missing on the building, and duct tape held the cracked windows together? Or how confident would you be buying a car from an auto dealer whose windows were so dirty you couldn't see through them and whose sign was missing a couple of letters? I bet your confidence wouldn't be very high in those situations. How do you think a client would feel if they came across a website that contains errors while looking for a designer? I bet they wouldn't feel too confident in hiring that person. That's what I want to talk about today, making sure your messaging doesn't contain errors. Let me give you a bit of background here. I decided to talk about this today because someone sent me a message earlier this week. Now, if you've ever contacted me for whatever reason, there's a good chance I looked at your website. It's just something I do. Any time someone emails me or contacts me on social media, I'll try to find their website to see how they present themself. So, someone sent me a message earlier this week, and when I found their website, the first thing I saw was a spelling mistake. The very first line of the website was “I Designs Websites.” Other places on the website included passages that lead me to believe this person is not a native English speaker. But I'll touch more on that later. And even though it was a beautifully designed website, and this person had a fantastic portfolio, those spelling and grammar mistakes made me question the quality of this person's work. Now imagine I was a client looking for someone to build a website for my new business. Those errors may be enough to make me second guess this person and move on to another web designer. Be careful with jargon. But it's not just spelling or grammatical errors that can hinder your chance of landing clients. Another section of this same website described their services and how they work. They mention that the first thing they do is build a wireframe to show the client before making their website using WordPress. Elsewhere on the site, it said their web hosting includes a CDN. You probably understand what I just said if you're familiar with websites. Imagine a client with no knowledge of websites other than knowing their business needs one. “Wireframe,” “WordPress,” and “CDN” don't mean anything to them. Reading these things may cause them more confusion, which may make them look elsewhere for a web designer. I talked about Jargon in episode 217 of the podcast. Jargon is common terminology in specific industries but maybe not so common outside of them. I'm a web designer, and I remember wondering what wireframes were the first time I heard someone use that term. It wasn't until I understood what a wireframe was that the word became part of my vocabulary. I'm not saying you shouldn't use these jargon terms in your communication. But if you do, you should add some clarity for anyone unfamiliar with them. For example: “We start by building a wireframe, a mockup layout of your website for you to approve before we start building the real thing in WordPress, a popular website platform, powering over 60% of the world's websites.” “Our web hosting includes a CDN, a content delivery network that improves the efficiency and speed of your website and helps you rank higher in search engines.” Even if a client doesn't recognize the jargon, they can still understand what you're saying because of the descriptions. A designer's job is communication. As designers, people think our job is to make things look good. And in part, it is. But more importantly, a designer's job is to ensure a message is told clearly and understandably. Design is about communication. And if the communicated message is confusing, then the person, company or organization behind that message will appear less competent. But what can you do? The first suggestion I have is simple. Spell and grammar check your work. A spell and grammar checker can help eliminate most problems, but only to an extent. They can identify misspelled words but are not as good at finding incorrect or better words. For that, I use a tool called Grammarly. I've been using Grammarly for years. Not only does it find spelling and grammar errors, but it helps improve my writing by suggesting alternatives. It helps me be a better writer by making me sound better. It's well worth the small price. Be wary of mistakes in headlines. I read a report that said there were more errors per capita in newspaper headlines than in the body copy. It said that, on average, there was one error for every 1000 words of body copy compared to four errors for every 1000 words of headline copy. Most people don't read headlines; they skim them—even the proofreaders whose job it is to find errors. Don't only rely on spell checkers. The other thing about spell checkers is they won't help you identify jargon. For that, you need to have someone else read over your text and tell you if there are problem areas. We do this all the time in the Resourceful Designer Community. People share their work, and others point out any problem areas they detect. Then the designer can choose whether or not to make a change. Having someone else read your work is especially important for anyone where English isn't their first language. This is probably the case with the website I looked at this week. The person wrote the copy themself to the best of their ability, but the fact that they are not native English speakers is evident. And this may turn away potential clients. The more precise and accurate your writing, the more professional you'll sound, and the more willing clients will be to work with you. Different dialects for different regions. And it goes beyond just language. Regional dialects also come into play. For example, if you're targetting clients in North America, you may say something such as. “I design custom logos.” However, if you're targetting clients in Europe, you may want to write “I design bespoke logos.” Both words mean the same thing, but “Custom” is more common in North America, whereas “Bespoke” is used more often in European countries. Colour is another example. You're going to spell it c-o-l-o-r if you're talking to Americans and c-o-l-o-u-r for most other parts of the world. I'm in Canada. And any time I'm looking for a printer or supplier, I'll take note of the spelling on their website. If I see "color," I'll know it's an American company, and I may continue my search to find someone in Canada. Make it count. You only get one chance to make a first impression. And if you fail at that first chance because of poor writing, there's not much you can do to regain someone's trust. So I suggest you take some time and closely go over your website and other marketing material. Or have someone else do it for you. Identify any problem areas or areas that could be improved and make changes. The better you sound, the more professional you'll appear, and the better the chances are that a potential client will hire you. Don't lose out because of poor writing.
