Trial-to-paid conversion jumped from 8% to 27% in 90 days.
The Problem
NovaSpark offered a generous 14-day free trial but most users never activated the core feature that demonstrated product value. Churn during the trial period was high, sales reps had no visibility into which trial users were engaged, and there was no in-app or email guidance to push users toward the "aha moment".
Our Solution
We mapped the full trial journey, identified the single activation event that correlated with paid conversion, and built a 7-email onboarding sequence that drove every new user to that event within 48 hours. We layered in in-app tooltips and a progress checklist. A lead-scoring model flagged high-intent trial users for same-day outreach from the sales team.
"The activation sequence paid for itself in the first week. We finally understand the user journey."
