At Raff Technologies, there was good traction with developers signing up and students exploring the dashboard, but few converted into paying customers.
The approach was treated as an engineering problem, focusing on diagnosing, iterating, and scaling what works to convert curious users to subscribers.
Tracking user behavior post-signup revealed that in 80% of cases, users never launched a VM, highlighting a major drop-off point in the conversion process.
Implementing smart triggers based on behavior significantly improved open rates, click rates, and user decisions to upgrade, creating a more seamless and natural conversion process.
