High-performing product metrics masked a painful customer experience. New users struggled to reach first value, support conversations were purely reactive, and critical expansion opportunities disappeared before teams could intervene.
Mapped the end-to-end journey with voice-of-customer research, quantified drop-off points, and aligned teams on a single source of truth.
Built personalized onboarding paths, lifecycle communications, and in-product education for each customer segment.
Automated health scoring, intervention playbooks, and cross-functional alerts to keep teams ahead of risk.
Analyzed product analytics, support transcripts, and 60 qualitative interviews to expose journey friction and sentiment trends.
Designed segmented onboarding flows, in-product prompts, and communication cadences aligned to customer goals.
Implemented 5 onboarding flows, 12 automated touchpoints, and integrated product signals into CRM for real-time coaching.
Established weekly journey reviews, predictive churn scoring, and executive dashboards tying experience metrics to revenue.
Guided setup tailored to role-based objectives with milestone tracking and in-product tours.
Activated lifecycle campaigns encouraging feature expansion based on usage triggers and intent signals.
Lifecycle scoring surfaced upsell readiness and piped opportunities directly to sales for consultative outreach.
Automated NPS follow-ups and champion enablement nurtured case studies, reviews, and reference programs.
We wired product, support, and billing signals into a unified health model that elevated the right playbook every time.
When every team owned a slice of the journey, customers experienced the seams. Creating a shared journey model, clear swimlanes, and real-time feedback loops closed those gaps and made the experience feel orchestrated instead of improvised.
