  • After the company launched but realized their churn rate was increasing, Turnbull reached out to every single customer for feedback.
  • The customers identified pain points in the on boarding process, bugs customers were having with the app, new features customers wanted, and more.
  • The company was able to repair customer relations, launch bug fixes, improve their copy and marketing, and focus in on feature's customers really desired.
  • In doing so, the company began to see results in just a few months, with customers being more positive about the product. Eventually, the company reached their target net promoter score of over 40%, which signaled they had found product market fit.
