Customer Experience Research - Internship

Hearth Contractor Experience

Over the course of my internship I conducted three months worth of customer research and developed a deck to help my team build empathy for our users. The goal of this deck is to provide both insight and opportunity to aid the team in building a more seamless customer experience for Hearth.

What I found:

  • Three buckets of users: First Use Failures, Contractors with Low Approval, and Power Users

    • These buckets have different needs and require different tools from us.

    • Most importantly the first bucket, First Use Failures, account for a majority of our inactive users. This bucket presents the most opportunity. Getting our contractors active and constantly using our sales tool will help them see value and as a result move to our Power User bucket.

  • There are gaps in accessibility and knowledge in financing along with a general lack of trust in our product.

    • Few opportunities presented itself within these insights:

      • How can we be more trustworthy as an organization?

      • How can we educate our contractors and help them become better sales people?

      • How can we integrate Hearth early in their sales process?
