Start-ups: During the trial of a B2B SAAS product, what steps can we do to improve the conversion rate?

Suresh Venkateswaran, Founder@Lean Foundry, Product & Tech Advisor answered:

The trial period is your courtship period, and the best opportunity to convert the user into a paying customer.

Areas of focus
- on boarding communication that includes welcome email, on boarding education of the platform, links to additional material on product/service
- timely communication throughout trial period staying engaged with user, reaching out to ask for feedback or answer any questions
- still better if the platform is able to track Usage statistics and contextually do a reach out
- opportunity to A/B test with different communication to see if conversion varies across the different methods

It is key to stay engaged with the user optimally without overloading them with communication.

I have had success with these methods and would be happy to discuss over a call, once I understand your unique situation
