Amaze customers by nailing the first impression. Research cited by Amanda Johns Vaden shows it takes only seven seconds to form a first impression, and 55% of that impression is visual rather than verbal. Your website, onboarding process, and employee interactions all shape how prospects judge your company from day one.
Customer implementation is the process of helping buyers find the best way to use a product after purchase. Research by Frederick Reichheld at Bain found that a 5 percent retention increase can raise profits by 25 to 95 percent. Implementation is a direct driver of revenue growth.
