Urgent but Unspoken Save Tactics
|
TL;DR - This daily email series is what we'll cover in the "Save Customers" workshop on Jan-15 (16 in Australia). It's good stuff on it's own; it's better if you come to the workshop and get the details. Drastic times call for drastic measures. This step is all about taking immediate action using emergency tactics that can stop churn in its tracks. Whether it’s leveraging the Deflect, Distract, Delay method, employing dark patterns and "cancel flow" sludge, or even taking advantage of temporary regulatory gaps like the FTC’s new "Click to Cancel" rule not being enforced until May 2025, these measures are not for the faint of heart. Please note: these are NOT customer-centric, but are reserved for those dire situations where saving the customer at all costs is the priority. Like, if you don't save customers you lose your job, the org gets fired, or your company goes out of business. These tactics demand precision and an understanding of the psychology behind customer - human - decision-making. Used recklessly, they can backfire and cause long-term damage to trust and brand reputation. In the workshop, we’ll break down these emergency measures, explain when to use them, how to mitigate risks, and why knowing their limits is critical. Learn more and sign up for the workshop here. Tomorrow, I’ll send you an email on the next tactic: Save the Right Customers, Ignore Others. Stay tuned! ~ Lincoln BTW: We're doing two sessions on Jan-15 (Jan-16 in Australia) that cover most time zones. So you don't have an excuse to not join live. Learn more and Sign-up today. .... |

While SaaS stocks got destroyed because of the threat of AI, we were spinning up AI agents at ListKit that make our team 5x more productive. We have Agentic workflows that literally do work for our customers they can't and don't want to do themselves allowing us to open up an entirely new revenue stream. We pivoted our underlying infrastructure to optimize for AI, which unlocked customer-facing product enhancements we couldn't have shipped before. Our customers are getting better results....
It's Friday. Somewhere right now, one of your customers is looking at what they pay you every month, looking at what they actually use, and thinking: "I could just vibe code this on Lovable this weekend." But here's the thing. Most of them don't actually want to. They don't want the headache. They don't want to maintain it. They don't want to be the person who ripped out a working tool and replaced it with something they duct-taped together in Claude over a weekend. They just want you to know...
