Our startup
branding journey
PART3
Howtobuild
along-term
mission?
Hi! We are CustomerIcare Live Chat.
We want to go
from this
To that
If you don’t know it yet, we have a mission!
So we’re working on a new
brand and sharing
our journey with you!
We’ve got an awesome response on the
first 2 parts (20k views woohoo!)
SEE PART 1 SEE PART 2
To sum things up, here’s what we
want to achieve:
BECOME
MEMORABLE
STAND OUTTHINK
LONG-TERM
CREATE
CONSISTENCY
CONNECT
WITH CLIENTS
THINK LONG TERM
In this deck we’ll see how to
First, what do I mean by
« THINK LONG TERM » ?
When you’re a startup, like this
it’s easy to get stuck on a
really short-term mission.
In short, we have a mission called:
« making money »
So this happens:
Ooooh
money!
OMG! Mo’
money!
You know what they say,
Mo’ money, mo’ problems!
Nah, just kidding, here’s the real problem:
Saying the purpose of your company is to
make money is like saying your purpose in
life is to breathe.
You need a more
meaningful
long term mission
That will help you
create a brand!
So, how do you create a
long-term mission
while still testing
new things every day?
It comes down to
few key points:
- Solve a problem that’s
bigger than your product
- Share your mission with
everyone
- Create a long term plan
even if you don’t follow it
- Define simple rules to
guide decision making
!
It comes down to
few key points:

everyone

- Define simple rules to

!
I love the example of Slack.
Look at what they say on their website
This gives them a lot of room to
release new products while still
respecting a long-term mission
If you want to grow huge,
you have 2 options:
You have a product that
you can distribute to an
insanely large audience
(eg. Facebook)
You start with a product
for a smaller audience
and launch new products
in the future (eg. Slack)
Most companies go for the
second option.
!
So, how do you create a bigger
mission starting with a niche
product?
1 Piece of advice:
Pick something you are passionate
about!
It could be changing the way we
work, making customer service
more human, helping anyone
pursuing their dream…
In our 2 years running CustomerIcare,
we realized 1 thing:
Companies and customers are often presented as 2
opposite parties. Customers mostly reach out when
they have a problem and companies try to have as little
contact with customers as they can. We think that
there is a need for a new model. A model where
companies and customers collaborate.
So, here’s the mission for
our new brand
We want to create a real dialogue
between customers and online
businesses so customer service is not
only about solving problems but about
collaborating.
And our niche product:

Aurelie Chazal
Hi! Is there anything I can help you with
today?
We let you add a live chat window
to your website. You can be
proactive and greet online visitors
instead of waiting for them to write
FIND OUT MORE HERE
After live chat we could launch
anything that fits within our mission
That’s the beginning
of our journey
That’s the world
of possibilities that
fit within your
mission

Hi! Is there anything I can help you with
today?
It doesn’t
matter which
path we take
as long as we keep
solving 1 big problem….
Aurelie Chazal
Consultant
Aurelie Chazal
Hi! Is there anything I can help you with
today?
And that’s what will allow us to
keep testing tons of new ideas
while still thinking long term!
It comes down to
few key points:
- Solve a problem that’s
bigger than your product
- Share your mission with
everyone
- Create a long term plan
even if you don’t follow it
- Define simple rules to
guide decision making
Let’s see how you can share your
mission with employees,
business partners, customers
and everyone really
The first thing you should do is
write it down!
It will help you define it better and
make it real.
The next step is NOT to print it
and put it on the wall.
In order for your mission to make
sense you need to put your
words into actions.
The 1st step is to create this kind of
dialogue with our customers
2. Treat customers
like real partners
who will help
develop our app
3. Pay attention
to the little
details people
share with us
1. Make it
really easy for
customers to
reach out to us
For that we need our entire team to be
on the same page. This means:
A good hiring
process
READ MORE
Good employee
onboarding
READ MORE
The 2nd step is to share our mission with
customers and partners
With a mix of
social content contact
It comes down to
few key points:
- Solve a problem that’s
bigger than your product
- Share your mission with
everyone
- Create a long term plan
even if you don’t follow it
- Define simple rules to
guide decision making
Having a long term plan doesn’t
mean creating a rigid schedule
for your employees to follow
new feature release
customer service ebook
JANUARY 2016
Set ambitious
goal instead
reach 500
paying users
JANUARY 2016
Plus, know where you want
to take your product
focus on more
integrations
build more
features
Just don’t draft a plan blindly.
Use the data you have so far!

looks like a good
idea to focus on
SlideShare
Imagine that, on average:
1 SlideShare
100,000 views
2,000 clicks back to
your site
260 new leads
26 new customers
You could set a goal to reach
1 Million views on Slideshare
10 SlideShares
1,000,000 views
20,000 clicks back to
your site
2,600 new leads
260 new customers
But if you notice at any time that
your presentations aren’t
converting as much, you can
always change your strategy
Having a plan will help you be
consistent and think long term
growth!
It comes down to
few key points:
- Solve a problem that’s
bigger than your product
- Share your mission with
everyone
- Create a long term plan
even if you don’t follow it
- Define simple rules to
guide decision making
Having a plan helps you make
sure you are growing.
!
Making sure you stay true to
your mission will help you
grow the right way.
Let’s take Zappos, for example.
That’s their mission statement:
"To provide the best customer service
possible."
Yup, it has absolutely nothing to do
with what they sell
It’s what guides all
their decisions
Outsourcing
customer
service?
Will it help deliver the
best customer service?
YES NO
24/7 support Everyone should
be involved in
customer service
Low quality
save costs to
invest in other
things
In that case the decision is easy.
The NOs easily outweigh the YESes
They could offer 24/7 support in-
house and save cost elsewhere. If the
outsourced service is bad quality, this
would kill the mission.
Unfortunately, all decisions
aren’t that easy
LITE
$0 forever
Should we
offer a free
plan?
This is something we
are still struggling
with at CustomerIcare
Would it help encourage dialogue
and collaboration between
companies and their customers?
YES NO
It would help making the
software available to really
small companies with tight
budgets
It’s a great way to spread
the word about our
product and mission
A free plan means more
customers with less
revenues which makes it
hard for us to have a
relationship with every
customer + create
valuable content
We ended up saying no to the
freemium model few months ago
It paid off but we are running into one
big problem with our WordPress plugin
Tell us please, what is the reason
for deactivating our plugin?
Send & deactivate plugin
We started collecting
feedback from WP
users with this popup
And here’s what we got:
« paid » « trial version »
« there’s no free plan. »
« need free »
« not free »
We also got a 1-start review because we were
not clear enough about it being a paid plugin
(totally our fault though :/)
CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
Conclusion?
We don’t have the answer. But we are
sticking with free trial + paid plans for
now because we are not freemium
ready at all.
That’s it for now folks!
!
Hope you enjoyed the
presentation and we’d love to
hear your thoughts!

Our Startup Branding Journey - Part 3: How To Build A Long-Term Mission

  • 2. Hi! We are CustomerIcare Live Chat. We want to go from this To that If you don’t know it yet, we have a mission!
  • 3. So we’re working on a new brand and sharing our journey with you!
  • 4. We’ve got an awesome response on the first 2 parts (20k views woohoo!) SEE PART 1 SEE PART 2
  • 5. To sum things up, here’s what we want to achieve: BECOME MEMORABLE STAND OUTTHINK LONG-TERM CREATE CONSISTENCY CONNECT WITH CLIENTS
  • 6. THINK LONG TERM In this deck we’ll see how to
  • 7. First, what do I mean by « THINK LONG TERM » ?
  • 8. When you’re a startup, like this it’s easy to get stuck on a really short-term mission.
  • 9. In short, we have a mission called: « making money »
  • 11. You know what they say, Mo’ money, mo’ problems! Nah, just kidding, here’s the real problem: Saying the purpose of your company is to make money is like saying your purpose in life is to breathe.
  • 12. You need a more meaningful long term mission That will help you create a brand!
  • 13. So, how do you create a long-term mission while still testing new things every day?
  • 14. It comes down to few key points: - Solve a problem that’s bigger than your product - Share your mission with everyone - Create a long term plan even if you don’t follow it - Define simple rules to guide decision making !
  • 15. It comes down to few key points: - Solve a problem that’s bigger than your product - Share your mission with everyone - Create a long term plan even if you don’t follow it - Define simple rules to guide decision making !
  • 16. I love the example of Slack. Look at what they say on their website
  • 17. This gives them a lot of room to release new products while still respecting a long-term mission
  • 18. If you want to grow huge, you have 2 options: You have a product that you can distribute to an insanely large audience (eg. Facebook) You start with a product for a smaller audience and launch new products in the future (eg. Slack)
  • 19. Most companies go for the second option. ! So, how do you create a bigger mission starting with a niche product?
  • 20. 1 Piece of advice: Pick something you are passionate about! It could be changing the way we work, making customer service more human, helping anyone pursuing their dream…
  • 21. In our 2 years running CustomerIcare, we realized 1 thing: Companies and customers are often presented as 2 opposite parties. Customers mostly reach out when they have a problem and companies try to have as little contact with customers as they can. We think that there is a need for a new model. A model where companies and customers collaborate.
  • 22. So, here’s the mission for our new brand We want to create a real dialogue between customers and online businesses so customer service is not only about solving problems but about collaborating.
  • 23. And our niche product: Aurelie Chazal Consultant Aurelie Chazal Hi! Is there anything I can help you with today? We let you add a live chat window to your website. You can be proactive and greet online visitors instead of waiting for them to write FIND OUT MORE HERE
  • 24. After live chat we could launch anything that fits within our mission
  • 25. That’s the beginning of our journey That’s the world of possibilities that fit within your mission Aurelie Chazal Consultant Aurelie Chazal Hi! Is there anything I can help you with today?
  • 26. It doesn’t matter which path we take as long as we keep solving 1 big problem…. Aurelie Chazal Consultant Aurelie Chazal Hi! Is there anything I can help you with today?
  • 27. And that’s what will allow us to keep testing tons of new ideas while still thinking long term!
  • 28. It comes down to few key points: - Solve a problem that’s bigger than your product - Share your mission with everyone - Create a long term plan even if you don’t follow it - Define simple rules to guide decision making
  • 29. Let’s see how you can share your mission with employees, business partners, customers and everyone really
  • 30. The first thing you should do is write it down! It will help you define it better and make it real.
  • 31. The next step is NOT to print it and put it on the wall. In order for your mission to make sense you need to put your words into actions.
  • 32. The 1st step is to create this kind of dialogue with our customers 2. Treat customers like real partners who will help develop our app 3. Pay attention to the little details people share with us 1. Make it really easy for customers to reach out to us
  • 33. For that we need our entire team to be on the same page. This means: A good hiring process READ MORE Good employee onboarding READ MORE
  • 34. The 2nd step is to share our mission with customers and partners With a mix of social content contact
  • 35. It comes down to few key points: - Solve a problem that’s bigger than your product - Share your mission with everyone - Create a long term plan even if you don’t follow it - Define simple rules to guide decision making
  • 36. Having a long term plan doesn’t mean creating a rigid schedule for your employees to follow new feature release customer service ebook JANUARY 2016
  • 37. Set ambitious goal instead reach 500 paying users JANUARY 2016
  • 38. Plus, know where you want to take your product focus on more integrations build more features
  • 39. Just don’t draft a plan blindly. Use the data you have so far! source visitors conversion Google Direct SlideShare Twitter Quora 122,908 98,204 87,878 40,989 10,927 4.05% 7.05% 12.92% 1.91% 9.02% looks like a good idea to focus on SlideShare
  • 40. Imagine that, on average: 1 SlideShare 100,000 views 2,000 clicks back to your site 260 new leads 26 new customers
  • 41. You could set a goal to reach 1 Million views on Slideshare 10 SlideShares 1,000,000 views 20,000 clicks back to your site 2,600 new leads 260 new customers
  • 42. But if you notice at any time that your presentations aren’t converting as much, you can always change your strategy
  • 43. Having a plan will help you be consistent and think long term growth!
  • 44. It comes down to few key points: - Solve a problem that’s bigger than your product - Share your mission with everyone - Create a long term plan even if you don’t follow it - Define simple rules to guide decision making
  • 45. Having a plan helps you make sure you are growing. ! Making sure you stay true to your mission will help you grow the right way.
  • 46. Let’s take Zappos, for example. That’s their mission statement: "To provide the best customer service possible." Yup, it has absolutely nothing to do with what they sell
  • 47. It’s what guides all their decisions Outsourcing customer service? Will it help deliver the best customer service? YES NO 24/7 support Everyone should be involved in customer service Low quality save costs to invest in other things
  • 48. In that case the decision is easy. The NOs easily outweigh the YESes They could offer 24/7 support in- house and save cost elsewhere. If the outsourced service is bad quality, this would kill the mission.
  • 49. Unfortunately, all decisions aren’t that easy LITE $0 forever Should we offer a free plan? This is something we are still struggling with at CustomerIcare
  • 50. Would it help encourage dialogue and collaboration between companies and their customers? YES NO It would help making the software available to really small companies with tight budgets It’s a great way to spread the word about our product and mission A free plan means more customers with less revenues which makes it hard for us to have a relationship with every customer + create valuable content
  • 51. We ended up saying no to the freemium model few months ago It paid off but we are running into one big problem with our WordPress plugin
  • 52. Tell us please, what is the reason for deactivating our plugin? Send & deactivate plugin We started collecting feedback from WP users with this popup
  • 53. And here’s what we got: « paid » « trial version » « there’s no free plan. » « need free » « not free »
  • 54. We also got a 1-start review because we were not clear enough about it being a paid plugin (totally our fault though :/) CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
  • 55. Conclusion? We don’t have the answer. But we are sticking with free trial + paid plans for now because we are not freemium ready at all.
  • 56. That’s it for now folks! ! Hope you enjoyed the presentation and we’d love to hear your thoughts! Tweet us @customericare Chat with us on customericare.com
