Hot take 🔥

Product friction gets a bad rep, but when implemented well, can slingshot users further down the funnel - and boost engagement, reduce churn, and accelerate conversion & expansion.

When introduced in the right context, friction within the product can:

⏭️ Direct users to the next step in their onboarding

🎉 Delight users and invoke high brand recall

🪑 Invoke the IKEA effect and make users strong advocates

🏆 Nudge users to monetization & expansion pathways.

Tune into our conversation with Ramli John as we talk about why friction during onboarding can sometimes be... a good thing.
