They\u2019re just trying it out.<\/p>\n<p>A great first use experience has to prove to these new and uncertain customers that your product will actually make their lives better. It\u2019s not surprising that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/new-book-intercom-onboarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">onboarding flows<\/a> focused on demonstrating all the features of a product become leaky buckets as new customers quickly lose interest.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is to build your onboarding experience around user value and drive new customers to an \u2018aha\u2019 moment, not a tour through product features. Here\u2019s how to do that.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-1-identify-the-job-that-new-users-hire-your-product-to-do\">Step 1: Identify the job that new users hire your product to do<\/h2>\n<p>Great onboarding starts with a clear understanding of why customers are buying your product. At Intercom, we use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/videos\/finding-jobs-your-product-is-used-for\/\">Job-to-be-Done (JTBD) framework<\/a> to understand the value our customers seek to get out of a product. JTBD highlights how customers buy a product to solve a problem, not for the product itself.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when customers buy a Snickers bar, the job they want the chocolate bar to do is stave off hunger and power them through the day. This is different from other chocolate bars, which deliver on an escapism and enjoyment job. A good first use experience for a Snickers would be providing the buyer a feeling of energy and fullness. These reasons that customers buy your product should be the foundation for your new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/strategies-for-onboarding-new-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user onboarding<\/a> experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18311 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Snickers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Snickers.jpg 487w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Snickers-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em>The job-to-be-done of a Snickers bar is to provide energy and sustenance, hence the tagline, &#8220;You&#8217;re Not You When You&#8217;re Hungry&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your product may do different jobs for different market segments.

These are the features that new customers need to experience in order to realize the benefits of your product, and should be the focus of your first use experience. Showing\u00a0 customers how to find and use every feature is an important part of onboarding, but it\u2019s best saved for later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18307 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1928\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM.png 1928w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM-768x195.png 768w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM-700x178.png 700w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM-600x152.png 600w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-6.58.51-PM-1400x356.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1928px) 100vw, 1928px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-3-remove-all-non-essential-steps-and-find-shortcuts-to-value\">Step 3: Remove all non essential steps and find shortcuts to value<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified what value looks like, the next step is to find the shortest path to get new users there. For features that are key to delivering value, do everything you can to remove barriers for new users to experience them. This minimum viable onboarding flow will vary by customer segment and use case, so make sure you customize onboarding for each segment. A common way to do this is to remove configuration and set up steps using <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/positiveslope\/crafting-the-first-mile-of-product-7ed25e8f1027\">templates and presumptuous defaults<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If your product involves long or complicated installation or configuration steps that are unavoidable, find other ways to demonstrate how your product provides value. Even smaller \u2018aha\u2019 moments help motivate new users to continue through the process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2754\" height=\"1378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM.png 2754w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM-700x350.png 700w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM-600x300.png 600w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Image-2018-10-21-at-7.05.44-PM-1400x701.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2754px) 100vw, 2754px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em>Progressive, an insurance company, estimates how much a new customer might save as a shortcut to demonstrate value and motivate new customers through the long and complex application process\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-4-frame-your-first-use-experience-around-the-value-users-want-to-see\">Step 4.
