Imagine having a groundbreaking product with the potential to change the game for the whole industry, but your users struggle to unlock its full potential. 

This was the challenge that Certiverse faced when the team launched a game-changing product for certification testing. 

We spoke to Mollie Baker, a creative executive at Certiverse, to understand how they leveraged product education and automation to drive product-led growth. 

Understanding the importance of product education

Certiverse, a pioneering SaaS company, has revolutionized the process of creating certification tests, enhancing both reliability and validity for test takers and organizations. 

For such a revolutionary platform, Mollie highlighted the critical nature of product education in supporting clients. 

"Product education is critical for us to be able to support our clients," Mollie stated, emphasizing the necessity of helping users navigate their innovative platform effectively. This educational support is particularly vital for a young company like Certiverse, which is continually refining its offerings.

Streamlining client education to enhance product interaction

Certiverse managed client inquiries manually—an approach that rapidly became unmanageable as user demand escalated. 

Mollie highlights the challenges they faced early on, "Initially, it was people reaching out, and we quickly realized it's just not scalable." 

This realization led to a strategic pivot from a purely reactive customer service model to a more proactive and scalable client education system. By automating responses and educational resources, Certiverse could handle a larger volume of inquiries without a corresponding increase in direct human labor.

Mollie elaborates on the transformation to an automated system for client education, which significantly enhanced operational efficiency and ensured that clients could maximize the benefits offered by Certiverse's platform. 

The transition involved integrating sophisticated educational technologies that could deliver interactive, self-serve content. This content includes tutorials, FAQs, and automated guides that help users understand how to use the platform without needing to reach out to a support person. 

Mollie highlights the importance of this shift, saying, "It quickly started to escalate, and we realized we're going to need to offer a lot more support for people just to get them started." The automated systems not only addressed immediate questions but also anticipated common challenges, thereby improving overall user satisfaction and engagement.

Overcoming the challenge of keeping educational content current

With Certiverse's platform rapidly evolving, updating educational content continuously presents a considerable challenge. 

Mollie shared how the team has adopted tools like Flo to facilitate swift updates to instructional materials, ensuring their relevance and utility. This capability is crucial as the platform undergoes frequent updates, requiring agile responses to educational needs. 

Mollie noted the dynamic nature of their operations: "We're building the plane while flying it," illustrating the need for educational content that keeps pace with technological advancements.

Enhancing scalability through intuitive tools

The adoption of intuitive and user-friendly tools was a critical strategy for Mollie and her team. These tools ensured that content creation was manageable and could be easily delegated to other team members. 

She highlighted how these tools have enabled the rapid creation of educational content, essential for effectively onboarding and supporting users. The simplicity of these tools means they can be used by team members who may not be familiar with advanced demo software, thereby democratizing the content creation process within Certiverse.

Looking forward: Continuous improvement of educational resources

As Certiverse continues to grow, the focus remains on enhancing and expanding the production of educational content to cater to the diverse needs of their user base. 

Mollie's discussion emphasized the importance of continuous adaptation and refinement of their educational strategies to keep up with the platform's expansion and the evolving needs of their clients. This approach not only supports current users but also prepares Certiverse to meet future demands effectively.
