Transcript: MOVING METRICS IS NOT ENOUGH ... Challenges Growth Teams Face & Tips to Resolve Them 3 Team Lovely Weekly Performance Touchbase Weekly Progress - March week 1 & March week 2 Highlights/Acheivements/Challenge Achievements: Challenges: Mitigating Action Plans: -We have maintained our Attendance to 100% and 99.9% in our Adherence. -We have achieved our set-up goal on week 2 to hit 4.5 CSAT score and even topped it out with an outstanding score of 4.54 rate. -Quality increased by 1.06 %. from 97.50% on week 2, we are now 98.56% as week 3 arrived. - 3 of us don't have detractors on week 3. - We still hit the required target score for AHT. This week 3, our Team AHT score is 11.13 minutes -While we have maintained a pretty good score for Attendance, Adherence, AHT, Quality and successful achievement for CSAT, our PRODUCTIVITY went down by 0.93 points -From rank 11 during 2nd week of March, we are now rank 13. -While productivity isn't an issue this Quarter 1 since we have low contact this time, we would not take this for granted. We will coordinate with our subordinate and construct an attainable goal. And planning to implement the "reward system" for them. -Coordinate with Sir Kim regarding TYUP productivity. Weekly Progress - March week 1 & March week 2 You assembled a full-stack team. a.) You assembled a full-stack team. a.) You selected metrics to move. b.) You assembled a full-stack team. a.) You selected metrics to move. b.) You gathered hypotheses, launched tests, drove results. c.) That’s it, right? Not quite... Here's what else you should be doing to maximize the effectiveness of your Growth team. THE CHALLENGE Product Marketing Analytics Engineering Design Growth Lots of potential for “bumping” Clearly defined lanes 1 Not a data & experiment-driven culture yet CHALLENGE 1 TIPS: 1 Prove yourself with some quick wins focus on an area where you can show impact right away. Your role exists because the company already has product/market fit - there is something to optimize & most likely the company needs to scale from being gut/intuition-driven to adopting a systematic approach to growth. 1 ROGERS ADOPTION / INNOVATION CURVE 2.5% 13.5% 34% 34% 16% Early Majority Late Majority Laggards Early Adopters Innovators Invoice2go - founder had authentic pain point around invoicing and solved it well without investing in Sales or Marketing became the #1 top grossing Business app in > 50 countries I had to prove my value quickly... One of the first experiments we launched was an onboarding change that drove a 30% increase in registration rate - that ability to show immediate impact helped us earn credibility internally. 2 Evangelize growth thinking You are the culture-carrier for this way of thinking & Growth team shouldn’t have exclusivity on being data & experiment-driven. 2 No such thing as over-communicating Helps to have an executive sponsor (head of Prod, CEO, etc.) - signals that Growth is important to the business Your job is just as much driving results as evangelizing growth thinking internally Teach people the business metrics/growth levers, experimentation process & tools 2 Teams are territorial “Hey, I should own that.” CHALLENGE 2 TIPS: Common story...: Me to Growth lead: “How do you guys work with Core Product?” Growth lead: [quizzical look] “We don’t. The CEO just lets us do whatever we want.” -> This is a recipe for confusion and potential conflict… 1 Clearly define roles & responsibilities Basic framework to document roles/responsibilities for Growth & Core Product 1 Pick some areas no one else is focused on...easier to gain credibility and avoid tension/politics Revisit this document regularly - roles/responsibilities will evolve based on company priorities and team bandwidth, skillset CORE PRODUCT GROWTH SHARED 2 Learn when to be autonomous (Optimization mode) & when to be collaborative (Innovation mode) 2 At Invoice2go we inherited an existing product and spent a lot of time in “Optimization mode” where we iterated quickly on experiments to drive conversion, retention, etc.; we did this as an autonomous, full-stack team.. ...but for our V2 redesign we entered “Innovation mode”, where Growth was embedded in the design & development process with Core Product, collaborating from beginning to end. In “Innovation mode” (redesign or new features/products) it’s important to embed Growth in the process as early as possible rather than thinking of it as an afterthought to optimize later...
