Product

What's been going on?

Our goals

Taking a step back...

  1. A REFINED AND FOCUSED PRODUCT (CORE SERVICE)

  2. A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAYBOOK

  3. A CONSISTENT & REMARKABLE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

first tasks

we started with

  1. The whatarmy way

  2. defining the product

  3. kicking off 'the playbook'

since then

over the last few months

  1. CONNECTWISE REVIEW

  2. ONBOARDING REVAMP

  3. SALES & Billing REVAMP

Onboarding

challenges

 

  • Client: not always clear on what happens next & when

  • Client: goes through 3-4 different people to be onboarded

  • Client: no single point of contact on WhatArmy side (often resorts to salesperson)

  • Client: doesn’t always understand timeline / why things can take a while

  • Internal: need better visibility across sales/finance/ops on where new clients stand

  • Internal: the responsibility of creating a great onboarding experience is divided among 3-4 people, accountability is dispersed

  • Internal: we have catered to too many variables (different agreement levels, different client types, custom contracts / projects / workorders)

Where have we struggled in the past?

keep it simple

let's work on this:

can we build a simple & effective onboarding process focused on new (standard) WordPress Support Plan clients?

The playbook

It's all in the playbook.
