When you have a solid understanding of what users love and hate about your solution, your product development efforts can become much more strategic. Instead of building every feature, just build what leads users to advocate for your solution.
Though users may not play a huge role in the initial purchase, adequately meeting their needs is vital for retaining key accounts. Whether you’re offering productivity software or a specialized SaaS solution, Cascade Insights finds out how well your solution helps users accomplish their jobs-to-be-done.
Improve Customer Satisfaction
In tech, it’s common to see applications or services that have robust functionality but are a complete nightmare to use. The average B2B company’s customer-experience index rating comes in at less than 50%.
Cascade Insights’ User Persona Research can help you determine what adjustments are needed to improve customer satisfaction and lower churn.
Go Beyond Simple UX Research
Cascade Insights’ B2B User Persona Research dives much deeper than just how a user interface is interacted with. Through double-blind research, you’ll gain clarity around the needs, pain points, and behaviors of users. We also delve into ease of integration, onboarding experiences, and what ROI end-users and business leaders see from the solution.
