Converting Trials Into Paying Customers with Claire Heginbotham
As marketers, we spend a lot of our time getting people to sign up on our website, converting them into leads. Too often, the job can feel done after this, but we’re far from it. Those free trial and freemium users need to be onboarded, engage with the product, and get enough usage out of it to be willing to pay for it. Claire Heginbotham joins the podcast today to do a deep dive into the art and science of onboarding, including the critical strategies SaaS companies can use to guide potential customers from initial sign-up to full product adoption. This week, episode 88 of the FiredUp! podcast is about converting trial users!
In this episode of the FiredUp! podcast, Claire Heginbotham shares her tips on creating personalized onboarding experiences that keep users engaged in your product and actionable steps you can take right now to nurture these free trial and freemium users, turning them into valuable paying customers.
Claire Heginbotham is a SaaS onboarding strategist and founder of Copy Island who is passionate about optimizing early product experiences to turn new users into committed customers. Since 2018, she's helped B2B SaaS companies transform their approach to user activation through her Unstoppable Email Onboarding Framework, enabling CMOs to leverage email for increased engagement, retention, and paid conversions.
