Improve feature adoption and retention by announcing new features and keeping users informed about key events. Tailored for consulting & professional services companies to address industry-specific challenges.
Challenges in Consulting & Professional Services
Professional services firms rely on project management, time tracking, knowledge management, and client collaboration platforms. Consultants who bill by the hour have zero tolerance for software that slows them down, and firm-wide tool adoption directly impacts profitability.
Consultants resist new tools that add overhead to their billable work
Knowledge management systems go unused, causing teams to repeatedly reinvent solutions
Time and expense tracking compliance is low, impacting revenue recognition and client billing
Client collaboration portals have low adoption, increasing email volume and misalignment

Frequently Asked Questions
How do consulting firms get consultants to adopt new tools?
Consultants adopt tools that make them more effective, period. Tours must demonstrate immediate time savings. Show a consultant how the PM tool auto-generates the status report they spend 30 minutes writing every Friday. Show how the knowledge base surfaces a relevant past proposal in seconds. ROI must be obvious and immediate.
Can product tours improve time tracking compliance?
Yes. Contextual reminders that prompt time entry at natural workflow breakpoints (end of meeting, project milestone completion) are more effective than weekly nagging emails. Smart tips that suggest time entries based on calendar events and project activity reduce the perceived effort of tracking time.
How do professional services firms onboard clients to collaboration portals?
The client onboarding tour should be brief and focused on the client's perspective: where to find deliverables, how to provide feedback, and how to track project progress. Clients who see the portal as more convenient than email adopt it willingly. The tour must be polished since it represents the firm's brand.
