users for your product
without any marketing

“Reach. Get our messaging in
front of the right audience”
“Attract. Get that audience to visit
our site and become leads”
“Convert. Persuade leads to sign
up and become customers”
“Educate. Help customers get
increasing value from and love
our product”

“…write code and talk to users…”

(frequency improvement).
• Or you can change it so more people can use it
(adoption improvement).”
Always ask “Why?”
