The obvious product adoption win – and most SaaS brands aren't doing it | ft. Diony McPherson, co-founder of Paperform
Q: How does Stepper relate to Paperform in the expansion strategy?
Stepper is presented as a complementary product that extends Paperform's capabilities into end-to-end workflows, emphasizing that it should be exposed to Paperform audiences and integrated into the same dashboard to drive cross-use and adoption among current customers.
The obvious product adoption win – and most SaaS brands aren't doing it | ft. Diony McPherson, co-founder of Paperform
Q: What are the three experiments they discuss for changing perception about Paperform?
They propose three approaches: a major brand-name reframe (potentially Paperflow), a more targeted template and communication strategy to highlight diverse use cases, and a new onboarding flow that leverages AI to create forms from scratch or from templates, with emphasis on surfacing existing templates and resources.
