Announcing the second edition of 'Intercom on Onboarding'
This brand new edition of "Intercom on Onboarding" book captures our latest thinking on the topic, reflecting everything we've learned from onboarding tens of thousands of our own customers, as well as building a tool, Product Tours, to help other companies onboard their own users.
Since we first published Intercom on Onboarding back in 2016, awareness about the critical importance of excellent user onboarding has grown considerably.
With the relentless rise of SaaS in particular, the need to help users find value and discover their “aha” moment is more important than ever. The one-off transaction has been superseded by an ongoing relationship, and excellent user onboarding is central to the success of that relationship.
“Onboarding is the one truly universal problem every piece of software has”
And yet, all too often the quality of our onboarding experiences don’t match up to the quality of our core products. That’s despite the unavoidable reality that onboarding is the one truly universal problem every piece of software has.
Since we released the first edition of this book, we’ve launched an entire new product in the space, Product Tours, so as you’d guess, our perspective on the topic has matured quite a bit.
Capturing our latest thinking
This edition of Intercom on Onboarding captures our latest thinking, reflecting everything we’ve learned from onboarding tens of thousands of our own customers, as well as building a tool to help other companies onboard their own users.
