Goals

Increase Conversions Rates - Converting trial sign ups to active users to paid customers
Drive Adoption of Golden Features - Build tech touch engagements to help users adopt key features and encourage conversions
Establishing a cross-functional PQL Framework - Leverage the features/ usage, ICP, outcome as buying intent to qualify a lead

KPIs

Focus on user retention during the trial - Identify and reduce friction points in the customer journey and use email nurturing to reactivate users
