I just need to understand a few key areas before giving tailored advice: Ask: 🎯 What’s your main goal right now? (e.g., faster onboarding, fewer tickets, better feature adoption) 🛠️ What assets or platforms are you currently using? (LMS, help center, email, in-app guidance, etc.) 👥 Who is your audience? (new users, admins, power users, different segments?) ⏱️ What stage of the customer journey do you want to improve? (onboarding, activation, maturity, renewal) 📉 Any specific pain points or KPIs you're struggling with? (low activation, poor NPS, high support volume?) 🧱 Are you building from scratch, revamping, or scaling?
