[Friday Fun] Kajabi Chats About the Unique Way They Address Customer Needs (That's You!)
Hello and Happy Friday!
On Fridays, I post some #FridayFun for you! These are just little extras to make you smile, laugh, feel inspired, and be encouraged in your online course, membership, or service business with Kajabi.
This week, I'm sharing a recent "Fireside Chat" by Kajabi's Jay (Partner Program) with Jeremy (Chief Product Officer). While it is fun to watch - complete with laptop yule log - it's also very enlightening .
Jobs to be Done (JTBD) vs Ideal Customer Avatar (ICA)
Jeremy explains the framework that Kajabi uses to figure out what customers need and how to fulfill those needs. This includes things like:
- The "Four Forces" that drive consumer behavior
- How a "Job Story" (instead of a "Customer Avatar") helps you build better products
- What is the job that Kajabi solves for customers?
"Main job: Kajabi exists to build and scale your digital products business"
In my observation, it's a responsibility that Kajabi takes very...

Kajabi Feature: NEW Email Subject Line Validation

No matter what platform you use to send marketing emails to your list (including Kajabi), you may have noticed it's getting harder to get past the spam filters of popular providers like Gmail. Their algorithm is getting tougher and tougher to get through.
In fact, Gmail has one of the best "junk mail banners" in the business AND they claim a huge portion of the marketshare; not a great combination to go against for the email marketer.

You can be doing everything "right" and sending from a trusted sender (like Kajabi) and still be bummed about your deliverability rates at times. I mean, your list can't learn to know/like/trust you and eventually buy from you if you can't even get through. Frustrating!
Here's Kajabi with a Solution: Email Subject Line Validation

One of my favorite things about Kajabi is their transparency. Since becoming a member in December 2016, I've noticed how they always make it a point to:
- invite suggestions and feedback
- improve and add features (for the same price)
- communicate their plans for what's next

The "Old" Solutions for Updates and Feedback
Prior to now, Kajabi used ProductBoard software to collect feedback.
To share updates on new features and progress leading up to new releases, they used this Kajabi-based Changelog. Again, HERE's the link and a screenshot but presumably it will be shut down with the advent of their new solution for feedback and updates.
