Input: UX consultant helped a B2B SaaS company reduce user onboarding drop-off from 67% to 28% over 8 weeks. Key deliverable: redesigned onboarding flow + in-app guidance. Client quote: "We recovered 40% of users we were previously losing in week one."
A growing B2B SaaS company was losing two-thirds of new users before they ever experienced the product's core value. Despite a strong acquisition funnel, their 67% onboarding drop-off rate meant that the majority of trial users were churning in the first week — before converting. Three internal attempts to fix the problem had failed to move the needle.
Over 8 weeks, the team conducted user research to identify the exact moments where new users were getting stuck, frustrated, or abandoning the flow. The findings revealed three critical friction points in the first-session experience. The team redesigned the onboarding sequence from scratch — restructuring the initial setup wizard, adding contextual in-app guidance at the highest-drop moments, and building a personalized "quick win" flow that got users to value within 5 minutes instead of 30.

The key insight: users weren't leaving because the product was hard to use — they were leaving because they couldn't see the value fast enough. Fixing the first 5 minutes fixed everything else.
