This week we feature an article by Anand Subramanian, a content writer from Freshflows, a product management app for B2B SaaS product teams. He shares how to improve the SaaS customer experience to encourage customer loyalty.
Software as a service (SaaS) has grown rapidly in recent years, particularly in recent months. A distinctive product is no longer sufficient. It’s easy to miss the new B2B buyer demands. Many SaaS firms neglect their current clients to acquire new ones. Profits from loyal customers are a company’s most valuable asset. So, while creating a product, focus on customer success to ensure customer satisfaction and reduce churn. A happy client is more likely to become a loyal one who can help you boost income. So, offering a pleasant customer experience is critical to the success of your organization.
Generally, obtaining new clients is more expensive than retaining existing ones. It’s tough to keep customers and get repeat business if you don’t prioritize client pleasure. A SaaS firm depends heavily on client retention and repeat business. Customer experience is a key difference for SaaS firms. If your first-time customers aren’t happy, you’ll lose them shortly.
Now that we know its importance, let us consider ways to improve customer experience.
Every company needs a proper online user experience, but SaaS firms need it more than others. This is because your website is generally your customers’ primary point of contact. They’ll use your site to do things like research information, get support, and compare costs. Your website must provide an exceptional user experience.
What are you doing wrong? Difficulties in your site might discourage potential customers from buying it. Assume your website includes:
By optimizing sites that cause these sorts of problems, you’ll be on the right track to a better client experience.
You can start your customers off right with a great onboarding experience. It’s one of the most effective ways to increase client satisfaction. Your onboarding process should be tailored to your customers’ needs to help them feel welcomed and supported from the start.
Here are 2 ways of achieving successful onboarding
After onboarding and orientation, your customers are ready to utilize your SaaS products. They purchased or subscribed to your product to solve an issue or alleviate a pain point. However, clients may run across obstacles along the way that detract from their experience. How will you know whether your product satisfies their expectations? To find out, you must regularly seek user input.
There are various efficient approaches for SaaS organizations to gather client feedback in order to assess their entire customer experience.
Create an action plan based on the input you received. Your SaaS experience management strategy will reap rewards as you continue to gather and act on feedback.
Internal organizational silos are known in B2B SaaS. Whether you are a small start-up or an enterprise SaaS firm, your users may suffer when your teams are not aligned. For example. Features that are promised but never delivered may indicate sales, marketing, and customer experience silos that need to be addressed. It is tough to do business with customers in silos, decreasing loyalty and increasing churn.
To get your staff on the same page, create internal teams entirely focused on customer success. A customer success team helps convert prospects into regular users. Keeping an eye on the customer journey can help your team uncover ways to boost engagement and retention.
How can SaaS companies measure and improve customer satisfaction? You can track improvements in your CX by measuring key customer experience KPIs. Here are some customer success metrics to consider when developing a data-driven customer success strategy:
Providing a great SaaS customer experience has far too frequently been an afterthought. But, in these competitive times, it can’t last. Your company should adopt a customer-centric strategy by soliciting input, acting on it, and assessing progress so that you know where you stand.
