The sign-up process is a crucial step in the customer journey, and it can greatly impact the success of your product. Make it too complex and people will drop out of the process altogether. Make it too simple and you won’t collect enough information to personalize their experience.
By asking customers about their experience setting up their account, you can identify any pain points in the process and make improvements to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
For example, let’s consider the case of a new online fitness platform that offers personalized workout plans. The product manager noticed that many users were abandoning the sign-up process before successfully creating their accounts. They decided to conduct a survey to identify the problem and discovered that users were finding the sign-up process too time-consuming and confusing. Based on this feedback, the product manager streamlined the sign-up process by reducing the number of required fields and simplifying the instructions. As a result, the platform saw a significant increase in completed sign-ups.
By simply asking customers about their sign-up experience and expectations, you can gain valuable insights into the customer journey and make improvements that enhance the user experience. Running this survey on an ongoing basis ensures a smooth onboarding experience and sets your product up for success.
