Hey Reader,

Did your clients ever ask you how to get my business show up in ChatGPT? Mine did. I was asking the same question for a while; many people still do, and although we’re kind of figuring out the answers, there are still a lot of speculations out there passing as legitimate info. One thing is for sure tho - Press Releases are influencing the AIs more than ever - ChatGPT, Gemini / AI Overviews, Perplexity and more.

​How to Turn First Impressions into Long-Term Customer Success – Webinar with Ramli John​

In this webinar hosted by Emanuel, founder of How About Some Marketing, special guest Ramli John, an expert on B2B onboarding, shares valuable insights and strategies on improving the onboarding process to enhance user experience and achieve customer success.

​

Key Takeaways

Onboarding is everyone’s job. Great onboarding connects marketing, product, and customer success.

First impressions define trust. The early moments shape long-term loyalty.

Success has three parts:

• Functional success: what customers can do now.
• Emotional success: how they feel about that success.
• Social success: what others say about their achievement.
• Emotional connection drives retention as much as product performance.

The User Success Canvas helps teams visualize what success looks like from the user’s perspective and align on shared goals.

• Personalize onboarding for different customer segments.
• Simplify complexity with small, guided steps that build confidence.
• Show your human side through tone, visuals, and personalized communication.
• Avoid generic tours. Tailored experiences create real loyalty.
