Summary & Strategic Recommendations

What’s Working - Amplify and Protect

1. Customer Support Excellence (42% of promoters) - This is your moat. Feature prominently in marketing, invest in maintaining quality during scaling, and consider support as a key hiring priority.

2. Intuitive UX Design (35% of promoters) - Lead with ease-of-use in positioning and competitive comparisons. Create case studies showing time-to-value vs competitors.

3. Reliability and Performance (18% of promoters) - While promoters praise this, detractors cite problems. Ensure infrastructure investments keep pace with growth.

4. Responsive Product Development (14% of promoters) - Maintain transparency around roadmap and continue showcasing user-driven improvements.

What’s Broken - Fix Urgently

1. Missing Integrations and API Limitations (48% of detractors) - HIGHEST PRIORITY

   • Immediate action: Audit top 10 integration requests and prioritize Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack
   • Short-term: Expand API access to lower tiers or create mid-tier with API access
   • Medium-term: Build integration marketplace or partner with Zapier for faster expansion
   • Impact: This single issue affects nearly half of all detractors and creates active churn risk

2. Mobile Performance and Technical Bugs (27% of detractors) - URGENT PRIORITY

   • Immediate action: Dedicated sprint to address Android mobile stability issues
   • Track and prioritize bug reports by frequency and user impact
   • Consider mobile app performance as Q1 engineering focus area
   • Impact: Daily frustration erodes trust and prevents mobile adoption

3. Pricing and Feature Tier Structure (21% of detractors) - MEDIUM PRIORITY

   • Review tier boundaries and consider moving high-value features (API, exports) to lower tiers
   • Communicate value more effectively, especially around recent price changes
   • Consider grandfathering existing customers or providing migration path
   • Impact: Perception of poor value creates churn vulnerability to competitors

4. Onboarding and Documentation (15% of detractors) - MEDIUM PRIORITY

   • Create guided setup flows for new users
   • Audit and update documentation, especially for advanced use cases
   • Consider self-service video tutorials
   • Impact: First impression problems set negative tone for entire relationship

Key Metrics & Insights

• Net Promoter Score: +46 (60% promoters - 14% detractors) - Healthy but vulnerable
• Conversion Opportunity: 116 passives (25%) represent potential promoters with targeted improvements
• Churn Risk Concentration: Integration gaps and performance issues create vulnerability to competitors
• Competitive Moat: Support quality and UX are strong differentiators worth protecting

Strategic Pattern Analysis

Promoters love your service experience (support + UX) but detractors need product expansion (integrations + features). This suggests a two-speed strategy:

1. Protect the core experience - Support and UX are retention drivers
2. Close the feature gap - Integrations are table stakes for enterprise expansion

The gap between promoter themes (service quality) and detractor themes (product functionality) indicates you’ve built strong operational excellence but need product roadmap acceleration to retain growth.

Immediate Next Steps

1. Week 1: Launch integration requirements survey for all detractors and passives
2. Week 2: Begin Android mobile stability sprint
3. Week 4: Publish updated integration roadmap with specific timelines
4. Month 2: Review pricing tier structure based on competitive analysis
5. Quarter 1: Deliver top 3 integration requests (recommend: Salesforce, Slack, HubSpot)
