Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address

17. Follow-Through in Action
“Ever since we signed up with Ruby Receptionists we've been
able to recover 10-15% of our inbound leads and over $1,600 in
marketing costs per month. That's a huge return for our
investment with Ruby Receptionists and we're just getting
started! I highly recommend Ruby Receptionists. They're
extremely professional, we love their service and so do our
clients!“
- Ariel Instueta, Instueta Roofing
18. What should you look for in a
virtual receptionist service?
18
• Do they answer all calls live during business hours, and
within just a few rings?
• Do the receptionists sound like they’re right in your
office?
• Are the receptionists friendly, delightful, and helpful?
• Do they charge any hidden fees, such as call connection
or message fees?
• Do they have a mobile app and customer website?
• Can they answer basic questions about your business?
• Do they deliver a great first impression to your callers?
19.
20. The Human Touch
“As a small business owner I always try to deliver great
customer service on all levels and Ruby Receptionists
definitely gives me the edge. If I am in the showroom with a
potential new client or on the phone, I don’t want to divide my
attention to a new call. But each new call may lead to new
business. Hiring Ruby was the answer. Every call is personally
answered in a very friendly manner and the Ruby staff will
know to take a message based on rules that I can easily set on
my phone and now on my Apple watch. The human touch is
missing in so many transactions, and Ruby makes our business
standout.”
- Alan Andrews, North Star Stone
21. 3 Key Takeaways
• Deliver great first impressions by making sure a real person
always answers the phone
• Pay attention to lost momentum and productivity – your time
is valuable!
• When searching for virtual receptionists, ask a lot of
questions to ensure they’re delivering a great experience to
callers – and providing the human touch!
