Summary

The text discusses the importance of creating an ideal onboarding experience for complex products used by businesses. It highlights five essential tactics to achieve this: providing immediate utility or demonstrating it as realistically as possible, organizing the flow based on value rather than technology, motivating users through the process by linking tasks to benefits, reassuring and coming back to high-anxiety tasks, and guiding customers through non-product tasks too. These tactics aim to reduce friction and anxiety while making the onboarding experience easy and compelling for new users. By doing so, complex products can deliver a revolutionary value proposition that justifies investment and adoption.
