Tagline

Non-technical, first business, wants a guided path and a person to ask. Evaluates support before features.

Background

Opened a boutique hospitality company after fifteen years in hotel operations. Comfortable with people, not with software. Will pay more for a product that answers the phone and explains things in plain English.

Goals
  • Reach a human quickly
  • A guided setup with clear next steps
  • Plain-language explanations of financial terms
Pain points
  • Chatbots that loop
  • Jargon like 'sweep' and 'ACH return'
  • Being made to feel like the only one who doesn't get it
Behavior

Opens help or the widget early; prefers video walkthroughs; abandons at unexplained jargon.

Triggers

Opening a first business; a bookkeeper's referral; being stuck on a form with no one to ask.
