Summary

  • Early wins deserve recognition. This play identifies users who’ve hit activation milestones, celebrates their progress, and nudges them toward deeper feature use when they’re most excited to grow.

Why this works

  • Leverages motivation from early success

  • Encourages users to keep exploring

  • Reinforces adoption behaviors with well-timed nudges

Goal

(1) For the reader

Celebrate progress to build momentum and steer users toward advanced usage.

(2) For the company

Drives activation depth and long-term engagement through positive reinforcement.


Accoil Signal

(1) Primary signal

  • Account in onboarding

  • Activation milestone(s) achieved

  • Within first 30 days

(2) Additional insights

  • Role = Admin or high-frequency user

  • Strategic account or upsell segment

  • Clear next-step opportunity available


Action steps

  1. Identify Win Accounts

    • Use activation and engagement scoring milestone tracking

    • Layer in account value, role type, or timeline if needed (dependent on configured traits)

  2. Send Positive Reinforcement

    • Use celebratory language: “You’re making progress”

    • Include specifics: “You’ve completed setup—what’s next?”

  3. Recommend What’s Next

    • Suggest a key feature, integration, or advanced workflow

    • Share guides or short tutorials to get them there faster

    • Offer checklists or examples of other successful users

  4. Add Light Incentives

    • Unlock premium content or trial extensions

    • Give milestone badges or achievement icons

    • (Optional) include account-specific reward path

  5. Monitor Response + Loop

    • Track follow-up actions: who takes the next step

    • Re-target non-movers with a second nudge

    • Share results internally to inform onboarding improvements
