Intercom co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Des Traynor discusses why retention is more important than conversion in modern subscription businesses.
At BSG, we believe in taking a proactive approach to driving positive change through innovation. The document discusses BSG's approach to innovation, which involves iteratively testing ideas with customers to build confidence before fully committing resources. Their process focuses on identifying customer needs, developing minimum viable products to test solutions, and using feedback to pivot or persevere until achieving product-market fit before scaling. This approach aims to replace guessing with ongoing customer validation to support confident investment decisions.

How to 2X Your Growth with a Product-Led Strategy - Liz Cain, OpenViewTraction Conf
Why is it that companies like Dropbox and Atlassian are worth 2x more than regular software companies post-IPO? How do they grow faster and more efficiently than their peers? The answer is simple: the product itself is the primary driver of growth.
Product led growth (PLG) is a go-to-market strategy that relies on the product itself as the primary driver of user acquisition, conversion and expansion. Come hear how you can implement PLG as a part of your strategy and use it to more than 2x your growth.
The document outlines 5 biggest mistakes companies make which are: not utilizing social media, wanting success now without putting in the time and effort, not accepting employees' new methods, not listening to customers, and not pivoting when necessary. It concludes by promoting a company called Tallyfy that helps standardize and automate processes.

This document outlines 10 steps to achieving product/market fit according to Ash Maurya:
1. Validate your problem and solution by building an MVP and getting early customer feedback.
2. Formulate an implementation strategy and focus on early adopters to define your business model.
3. Continuously measure key metrics like acquisition, activation, retention, revenue and referrals through a feedback loop with customers.
4. Identify your engine of growth whether it's paid, sticky, or viral and ignore other metrics to focus on scaling one thing at a time. The process focuses on learning through experiments rather than long-term planning.
This document summarizes lessons learned by Adam Nash over 20 years of product management experience. It discusses that product managers are judged by their products' results, not their authority. It also discusses prioritizing features into three buckets: metrics movers to drive revenue, customer requests to maintain trust, and delight features to inspire loyalty. Great products combine all three. Understanding what drives virality and engagement is also key. Product teams should focus on reducing friction but also increasing desire. Simplicity is important - products should do the core job simply without extraneous features. A great product leader focuses on behavior, values, and continuous learning as products are never truly finished.

This document provides an overview of developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) using Lean methodology. It emphasizes building iteratively based on customer feedback in order to validate assumptions quickly and minimize risks and costs. An MVP should deliver the core functionality that tests the main value proposition while engaging early customers. Through rapid build-measure-learn cycles, unnecessary features can be eliminated and the most important priorities identified to efficiently guide development. This process is aimed at achieving product-market fit and monetization faster while engaging and delighting customers.

3 Insights for Consumerization of the Enterprisesaastr
Success in the Enterprise means ensuring consumerization is a part of your strategy. Scott Belsky, CPO, EVP of Creative Cloud at Adobe will explore key tactics to focusing on the user experience.
This document provides 20 lessons learnt from running a software product business that has over 600 customers in 30+ countries over 5 years. It discusses lessons around targeting the right markets and keeping departments aligned, developing products that compete on value rather than chasing features, pricing strategies like starting high and cutting prices, and messaging to different customer types. It also outlines lessons around creating a new category that requires patience, partnering with complementary products, monitoring the customer value stream, and addressing challenges of the Indian market having fewer early adopters.
Making your first $100 online is easy.
Actually that’s not quite true – actually earning your first $100 online IS pretty easy...and what I’m going to show you in this book makes it easier.; What’s hard is believing you can do it, and sticking with the method.
Once you’ve made $100 then replicating the system is easy. You know you can do it, your sub-conscious belief system kicks into place and before you know it, pulling in $100 daily will be a pretty simple matter.
It’s that first step that takes some doing.

Presenter: Tristan Harward
In this fun interactive session, we'll explore using diagrams, maps, visual aids, and charts to help us make better products. Learn about mapping the user landscape, understanding the flow of value, visualizing jobs to be done, and mapping internal process flows. Most of all, let's break down the barrier to visualizing the things around us to understand them better—no drawing skills required!
Tristan has worked on products in engineering, design, and product capacities for over 10 years. He brings together systems thinking, design, and leadership skills to help build the context teams need in order to make great products. He's currently leading Product Design at Appcues, and before that did the same at Localytics.
The document provides guidance on developing a minimum viable product (MVP) and conducting customer interviews and solution validation. It recommends building the smallest possible product to test assumptions with customers, conducting 10+ customer interviews to understand problems and validate solutions, and creating a 3-page landing page to pitch the solution during interviews. The goal is to learn the most about customer needs and product-market fit with the least effort and resources before fully developing the product.

An e-commerce company selling lingerie has seen decreasing sales over months. Lean UX is introduced as an approach to test hypotheses for increasing revenue before major investments. It involves building minimum viable products to test hypotheses through quick design-measure-learn iterations. For example, a button for bra fitting consultancy could be tested on product pages to see if it increases purchases. This allows identifying effective changes while minimizing risks from unsuccessful investments.
How to frame a business challenge for innovation teamsFranck Debane
The document provides guidance on how to properly frame business challenges for innovation teams. It explains that challenges should be clear, measurable problems focused on business or customer value. Vague requests need to be narrowed by zooming in on specific problems or zooming out to understand broader objectives. A business challenge template is proposed to align stakeholders and define goals, customers, resources, and metrics of success for the team. Exploration workshops are also suggested to help map problems, transfer knowledge, and ideate solutions. Framing challenges properly gives teams boundaries while allowing flexibility and a shared understanding of success.

Lean Management Review at Volunteer MauritiusMushood Badulla
Start Up Mauritius provides lean management training to help participants successfully complete an entrepreneurial internship. The training covers lean startup techniques like developing value and growth hypotheses to test assumptions about business ideas. A key technique taught is creating a minimum viable product (MVP) - a basic version of the product with minimum features - to test assumptions without large investments. Participants will learn to test MVPs, analyze results, and either improve the product or "pivot" the business strategy based on what they learn to increase chances of success. The goal is for participants to gain experience from an initial failure in order to succeed in future business endeavors.

This document provides guidance on starting a small business through a toolkit called "Be Your Own Boss." It introduces the toolkit as a simplified guide for new entrepreneurs based on over 10 years of research. The toolkit breaks the complex startup process down into checklists to complete tasks like ordering business cards and incorporating the business. It encourages entrepreneurs to make mistakes quickly and get feedback to learn what customers want. The overall message is to stop planning and start doing the work of starting a business.
Using Customer Research to Build Your ProductArpit Rai
The document discusses using customer development to build a SaaS product. It recommends validating hypotheses by talking directly to customers to understand problems rather than assuming ideas. Customer development should happen early at the idea stage and ongoing to prioritize features.

60. Why do switch interviews?
1. Understand the consideration set of people who buy your product.
2. Understand the emotional and social jobs that the product
accomplishes.
3. Understand the situations that drive people to change.
61. People encounter situations that
drive the need for a job. They hire a
product or service to get the job
done.
62. Our recent customer encountered a
situation that drove the need for a
job. Why did they hire our product
to get the job done?
66. Listen to each customer recording and look
for 6 special elements.
67. 6 Key Elements
1. Struggling Moments

4. Perceived Value
5. Experienced Value
6. Existing Solutions Considered
68. Struggling Moments
{{ Insert the situation your interviewee brought up, that caused them to
struggle and seek a new solution }}
Example
{{ When I’m trying improve how the number of leads I generate each
month, but I'm not sure how to setup campaigns in Facebook ... }}
69. Motivations
{{ Insert what the interviewee was trying to accomplish with a new
solution }}
Example
{{ I want to figure out how to build out a Facebook lead funnel to
automate the whole process of lead generation... }}
70. Driving Forces
{{ Insert the emotions your interviewee feels, pushing them to seek a
new solution (instead of continuing to do things the way they already
are) }}
Example
{{ I'm frustrated that I haven't hit my lead gen goal in the last couple
months }}
71. Perceived Value
{{ Insert how your interviewee envisions life being better once they have
a new solution }}
Example
{{ So I can convert & retain more paying customers without hand
holding each one }}
72. Experienced Value
{{ Insert how your interviewee experienced the product and what drove
them to upgrade }}
Example
{{ I felt I had an easy, scalable way to convert & retain more paying
customers }}

Wesley Bush
bit.ly/product-saas-growth
Well, my name is Wesley Bush. I’ve worked for several of Canada’s fastest growing B2B SaaS startups such as Vidyard and have acquired well over a 100,000 free trial users. Now, I run an agency called Traffic Is Currency that specializes in helping B2B SaaS companies double their free trial to paid conversion rates. I love this stuff!
So, if you find me talking way too fast or smiling a little too much, that’s probably why….or who knows...I might be running out of time.
People will hire and fire products that solve their pain better to help them get their jobs done better and faster, and they also want solutions that satisfy their emotional and social considerations.
It’s Friday afternoon and I decide to work at my favorite cafe.
The snuggie is the blanket that has sleeves! Some might even say it’s revolutionary.
Do 5 second test
Intercom isn’t competing in the live chat space. They are competing in an entirely different market. They are simply competing with other solutions that acquire, engage and retain customers. This could be email, customer success representatives, knowledge base companies… you name it.
What I want you to do by EOD is send this email to 3 recent customers and eventually keep sending 3 emails out each day until you talk to at least 10 recent customers.
You’ll see what things sold them - in my past experience, I’ve found this so helpful to identify what items played a big role in their decision to buy the software - you can then highlight this item in the future
Note: I find driving forces to be the “holy grail” for paid advertising and driving conversions because it is instantly relatable to someone who is in a specific situation.
You are looking for a Value Gap between the perceived and experienced value.
