Growth is the key importance of customer education in the overall success of an enterprise

While companies are investing 5x more into getting customers rather than keeping those they already have 90 percent of them recognize the benefits when they invest in educating their clients. Furthermore, education-related content has substantially increased the probability of customers purchasing from them by 131 percent. The company you work for can help increase the number of customers who use your product by providing easy-to-follow instructions as well as step-by-step instructions.

The benefits of educating customers extends beyond making them make use of a product. If companies monitor how clients use and interact with their products, companies are able to spot any issues early and correct issues before forcing users to leave. This approach creates an excellent chance for growth through demonstrating the value of and advantages.

When customers are educated through details, they will discover various ways to make use of the services, try the latest features and examine the products that are related. An easy purchase of a subscription turns into a lucrative relationship.

The Acquisition Problem The Causes The traditional growth model is not effective by 2024.

The SaaS industry is facing major challenges that put several pressures on those businesses who are dependent on regular income. Simply gaining more customers isn't enough for growth any more.

The statistics tell a shocking truth: you pay five times harder to acquire new customers than to keep an existing customer. However, most customers who test the product don't become paying customers. Furthermore, 97% of users churn without warning signs, and 80 percent consider their experience to be more important than the software itself.

These are alarming indicators that suggest that old-fashioned strategies of growing aren't viable anymore. As the costs for acquiring customers are rising and retention has become more crucial and companies are starting to recognize the importance of their Net-Dollar Retention (NDR) strategy must undergo changes, and focus on the education of customers and their experiences as the primary drivers of the long-term growth of their business.

Change Customer Education into your most effective growth engine: An Strategy Framework

Education for customers doesn't need to solely about facts. It's more about engaging with customers in crucial moments to boost business performance.

How to use it to your advantage:

     1. Start a Strategic Onboarding Course

• "Quick is the winner" (Days 1-7) which cover the crucial aspects of set-up
• "Core Features" (Days 8-15) with a particular focus on daily usage
• "Advanced Implementation" (Days 16-30) to improve efficacy and effectiveness.

Make use of the technology platform you've chosen and work with your team to design automated tracking systems for five of the most vital measures: acceptance rate for the feature as well as duration of time from first to completion rates, NPS scores and reduction of ticket occurrences - ensuring that your new client hits the key measures of success by 40% more quickly than conventional onboarding.

     2. Engaged Learning Pathways that are designed to be engaging.

• Embed quick-win activities that show the value in a flash
• Create and design a custom course of training which is based on the needs of each user and their objectives

Each program is divided into mini-learning sessions that last 5-10 minutes Combining

• Video tutorials
• Step-by-step directions
• Exercises that are hands-on and users can take part in inside your program.

Develop specific tracks to suit the roles (Admin Track, End-User Track, Developer Track, End-User Track Track) by using a custom content plan and relevant use cases that are specifically for each individual user.

     3. Use data-driven interventions to improve areas of intervention

Data is an important resource. Make use of it to determine what's going on to your customers. Install an alert system that alerts users when they not connected to the system for more than seven days, have not done the steps required to set up or have a declining use of basic capabilities. Create particular "rescue campaign" that provide specific details on the three most important areas of friction for the customers.

1. Initial issues with getting set up
2. Feature underutilization
3. Integration problems.

Develop an automatized drip schedule of content that will be active when usage has lower than 40% for clients who are typically regular. This will include informational content, stories of success and direct communication with representatives from customer service or the team of success.

     4. Create a learning community powered by a network of learners

Create a 3tier certification system (Basic Advanced, Expert and Basic) with clear guidelines as well as real-world assessment and rewards for professional growth at each degree. Salesforce Trailhead is a prime example and boasts its Trailblazer Community having 500+ members across 90 countries.
   
    Create a platform for community participation where registered users are able to:

• Earn points of reputation for answering the question
• Utilize templates and give tips
• Make how-to guidebooks and offer suggestions to other users

Pro Tips: Set up a "Global Champions" program that identifies and enable users from various regions to create localized content and create regional user groups by identifying the top five regions.
