The Secret to Asking Your Users the Right Questions
at the Right Time




 Lars Lofgren
 Marketing Analyst - March 2013
@larslofgren
We’ll cover...




1   How to know where to start

2   The scripts and tools

3   Q&A
How do we know what our customers want?
Weak questions get weak answers...
Different customers need different things...
Use the customer lifecycle
The Stages of Your Customer



 1   Stranger

 2   Prospect (visits your site)

 3   Free Trial

 4   Using Your Product

 5   Paying Customer

 6   Cancelled
The 3-step process to understand customers




   1   Find the roadblock using a funnel

   2   Go to your script and tool list

   3   Use one and start getting feedback
Here’s your funnel:
Keep an eye on churn and cancellations.




   A monthly churn rate of over 5% is
  a major problem. Your goal is 1-2%.
Stage 1 - Strangers




      1
Your Options



 1   Target market interviews

 2   Surveys
Understand the problem you’re trying to solve.
This email got me 10 meetings in 1.5 hours
The second half of the email...
Use surveys to judge current behavior
Stage 2 - Prospects




      2
Your Options



 1   Targeted questions on your site

 2   Live chat

 3   Heatmaps
Use Qualaroo to ask targeted questions



1   Does this page make
    you want to use our
    product?

2   What’s keeping you
    from wanting to try our
    product?
Use Olark for live chat.
Easy way to figure out what people use: heatmaps
Stage 3 - Free Trials




       3
Your Options



 1   “Need Help?” boxes

 2   Autoresponder asking for replies

 3   Usability tests
Make it easy to reach your support team.
Ask people what their biggest challenge is.
Run usability tests on signups and features.
Stage 4 - Using Your Product




           4
Your Options



 1   Customer interviews on value received

 2   The P/M Question

 3   Survey to those that didn’t upgrade
How much value do users get from your product?




   Set up interviews with people that
    have been using your product.
At least 40% should say “very disappointed”
Survey for people that didn’t upgrade.
Stage 5 - Customers




       5
Your Options



 1   Feedback box in product

 2   Customer interviews for new features
Put feedback boxes in your product.
The email we get for each piece of feedback.
Planning a feature revamp? Interview customers.




   Have them show you exactly how
     they use the feature. What’s
      essential? What’s missing?
Stage 6 - Cancelled




      6
Your Options



 1   Email and survey

 2   Feedback box during cancellation
Start with a survey.
Ask people why they’re canceling.
Can also build it into your product.
Action Steps




   1   Measure your funnel

   2   Find your roadblock

   3   Pick an option from the list above
