Tip 4: Stay connected to your customers
"Knowing exactly how your customers use your product, where they get stuck, and when they need your help has a significant positive impact on your business growth. No customer will recommend you further if they only know how to use 25% of its features and don’t get the full value. Minimize friction points in the user journey, and promote how the product can be used to accomplish customers’ business goals."
