Sometimes the most valuable feedback is the most painful to get. In our usual in-person demos, we guide users through our application, which we had assumed was quite intuitive. But this week, I received a spontaneous 12-minute video of a potential partner trying out our application on their own for the first time—without any prior instruction. It was, to put it mildly, painful to watch: - “No, don’t click there yet.” - “Oh, you need to activate this part first!” - “Wait, why did you go there now?” But that was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! It pointed out the many missteps that can prevent a user from experiencing the actual functionality of the application. I am glad we launched early and got that valuable feedback early on. Chances are, we couldn't figure this out without letting people use it. A special thanks to our partner for taking the time to evaluate the tool and share their experience with us. Again, that’s a valuable exercise that only motivates us to get better. #ProductDesign #CustomerExperience #UserFeedback #StartupLife #UIOptimization

I'm challenging myself: Starting now, for 24 hours, I'm creating free interactive demos for your product. Why? Because interactive demos: - Improve website conversions - Close more deals - Engage buyers like nothing else - Give you a competitive advantage Despite their benefits, many of you haven't had the chance to try them out. All you’ve to do is drop your product link in the comments section (or DM me if you prefer to keep it private). 👇 My only ask is that your product is self-serve (DM me with the access if it's not self-serve) and doesn’t require a credit card for signups. Let's go!!! Update: Completed 14 interactive demos. This was fun! For all those who missed out, it takes <10 mins to create an interactive demo with Storylane and it's 100% free - storylane.io

Looking to increase play rates for your product demos? 🎯 Here's a tip: Add more branching paths in your intro chapters. According to our 2024 Benchmarks Report, the highest-performing interactive demos use 1.4x more branching paths in their intro chapters. Why? Because it makes the demo more engaging and personalized, helping to keep your audience hooked. People want to understand how you solve *their* point. They don't want to see every detail of your product. 🔍 Check out our benchmark report to learn more about what makes a great interactive demo: https://lnkd.in/e9YTFjNe  ------ P.S.
