PRO Session: The Growth Wheel: How Value Reports Transformed Customer Retention

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

ProductWorld MAIN STAGE

Benji Azaria, Cloudinary, VP Data

Most of our customers do not know how to quantify the time and money we save them, as they don't analyze data or calculate the value we provide. This lack of understanding makes it challenging to renew licenses or secure repeat purchases. If customers understood the exact savings, their satisfaction would increase, leading to internal marketing and higher consumption. Despite having extensive data on customer actions, we've primarily used it internally. Our customers are eager to understand how they compare to competitors, their effective use of our services, and potential growth areas. Providing this information will help them articulate our value and calculate ROI, making license renewals easier. In my presentation, I will detail our process, share industry examples, and highlight the impact on customers and our organization

PRO Session: Beyond Failing Fast: How to Use Fast Feedback to Learn Without Failing

Thursday February 13, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

ProductWorld MAIN STAGE

Michael Mace, UserTesting, VP Market Strategy

The idea of failing fast has become so central to Agile development that it’s almost a religious belief. It’s been the subject of countless articles and even full books. According to Google Trends, the phrase “fail fast” has been on the rise since late 2009.

We’ve become so focused on the “fail fast” mantra that it’s easy to forget that the goal of failing fast isn’t actually to fail; it’s to maximize your speed of learning, so you can evolve a better product quickly. Back when cloud computing first appeared, deploying software was so fast and customer research so slow that it made sense to try things and see what worked rather than waiting months to do a research study.

But today the situation has changed. Through fast feedback products, you can now get customer feedback almost instantly on virtually any idea or experience —within a sprint, without waiting to ship it.

In this session we'll give specifics on how product teams are using fast feedback to make higher-confidence decisions without slowing down the agile process -- reducing rework and increasing customer satisfaction. We'll give real-world examples and practical advice based on UserTesting's own processes, plus examples from other companies.

Speakers

Michael Mace

UserTesting, VP Market Strategy

Mike is a 25-year veteran of the tech industry. He held marketing and strategy roles at Apple and Palm, founded two startups, and has also consulted with many tech industry leaders.
