Anita Toth

Customer Retention/Churn Consultant

Currently residing in Hamilton, Canada (-05:00 UTC)

I help B2B companies increase their user retention by understanding the wants, needs and desires of their users. Using 20+ years of academic qualitative research, I help companies develop a feedback strategy to fully understand the goals their users have and to highlight those areas preventing their users from reaching those goals. This strategy ultimately increases retention, increases loyalty and increases revenues.

Digital Strategist & Trainer - Passionate about Content Marketing and CRO

Currently residing in Sofia, Bulgaria (+02:00 UTC)

I've spent more than a decade in digital marketing, with a primary focus in e-commerce and SaaS. My last role at a B2C SaaS startup with more than 500,000 registered users. Then I decided to go solo and work as an independent consultant on other exciting projects - and I always like to see new ones! I have extensive experience using the Jobs-to-be-done methodology to execute product repositionings.

Get advice on setting up a JTBD framework

Jobs-to-be-done is a framework for understanding why people do what they do. To put things in perspective, the “job” in this framework is what customers are “hiring” a product or service to do for them.

There are two aspects to these jobs. The first, and the most obvious, is the functional aspect. For example, I’m buying a BBQ because I want to grill my meat on an open flame instead of cooking it in the oven.

The second aspect is emotional, which can further be broken into two separate dimensions, personal and social. In the example above, we could say an emotional aspect of the JTBD with a social dimension would be to impress friends and family.

By understanding the true motivations behind users, marketers can better position their products in crowded marketplaces. Compared to the classic buyer persona (e.g. customer is 30-33 years old, masters degree, owns a Dog and drives a Volvo), the JTBD framework is much more effective.

If you’re using the jobs-to-be-done framework in your startup speaking to a growth mentor might be helpful. These JTBD experts can help you through some challenges, typical pitfalls and share some practical tips about tiny things (you won’t read about on blogs) which can make a big difference.

It is a good idea to connect with the other person once the session is accepted and the details are given. This ensures that the correct details were given and when it is time to start, you can start on time.

Here are some tips on how to get the maximum bang for your time on growth mentor calls.

Come into this with realistic expectations. They’re mentors, not magicians.
Ask your mentor if they’d be cool with you recording your screen with Loom
Give contextual information to help paint the picture of your current situation.
Growth mentors will be asking you lots of questions, answer them as honest as possible.
Don’t be afraid to push the boundaries of question asking. Be inquisitive. Stories are gold.
Don’t feel pressure, just relax. There’s no right/wrong way to do this. Avoid binary thinking.
Try to form mental patterns, especially if you speak with multiple mentors. Pay attention to metadata.
Embrace alternative views. Ask the mentors to play devil’s advocate and challenge your assumptions.
Be friendly and authentic. If you’re likable, the mentors will be your biggest supporters (even after the call is over).

Yup! Many of the mentors offer monthly coaching packages for members who want to really dive deep into a specific area.

Each mentor creates their own package so what they offer and the price vary from mentor to mentor. You can find their coaching info at the top of their profile.
