4. The trick?
Made it look NON-automated
No fancy formatting
No images
No marketing BS
Just a simple "hey, noticed you left, what happened?"
People actually reply to these because they don't scream "automated message" 🧠

3. 2 hours of coding later:
- Auto-sends plain text email (looks like I typed it myself)

- Already got 2 customers back
- Collecting gold mine of feedback

2. I was spending 2-3 hours EVERY week just copying and pasting the same stuff 🤦
Then my dev brain kicked in:

4. My biggest lesson?
Listen to what customers say
But watch what they do
Took months to get this balance right, but transformed how I build

3. My best decisions came from data, not discussions
Proof:
- Abandoned cart recovery: $10k+ back to customers
- Basic promo codes: 20% conversion jump
Both outperformed my "dream features" list

2. The feature requests trap got me good
Sure, my users knew their problems
But finding real solutions meant ignoring half of those requests

1. Customer feedback hits different when you're the founder
Got caught between users demanding opposite features
One needs tax management
Another runs away from it
The real growth came from decoding what my product lacked

6. This year will be different
Not because I've become smarter
But because I've become more honest with myself about what our customers actually want

5. Looking at purchase data:
- Most bought our highest tier
- Many asked about annual plans
- Several inquired about bulk licenses
They had budget. They needed value. I was solving the wrong problem

4. The reality hit hard:
These weren't price-sensitive customers hunting deals
These were entrepreneurs investing their year-end profits into tools for 2024
And I was competing on... price? 🤦♂️

3. Mistake #3: Obsessed over discount numbers
Analyzed our buyers later: 90% were course creators, coaches, and indie founders

2. Mistake #2: Started prep 2 weeks before BF
My emails? Buried under hundreds of offers
My ads? Crazy expensive
Me and my co-founder? Stressed and overworked
Should've seen it coming. Most buyers had already picked their tools weeks before BF

Skip the fancy marketing. Focus on being the answer to specific Google searches
Your digital product becomes the obvious solution when someone is desperately looking for help - not when they're mindlessly scrolling
