How do you incentivize churned users to share honest feedback?

Lowering prices because of exit survey data is a classic trap.

If a tool saves someone hours of work they won't care about a twenty dollar price tag, but if it lacks a key integration, no discount will keep them around.

The hardest part is getting them to reply once they've already canceled and moved on to another tool.

Did offering a small gift card or discount help increase your exit interview response rate?

Which companies do you think will completely use AI instead of human beings?

More big tech companies bet on AI instead of employees.

  • @Duolingo is starting to prioritise AI over employees and contractors.

  • @Shopify is planning on going "AI first."

  • @Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman just sent his employees the most brutally honest email: "AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it's coming for my job too."

  • Firecrawl hires AI agents and has a Slack channel solely for AI agents.

1 thing I was proud of that turned out to be the easy part

I finished a piece of work last month and felt genuinely proud. It was clean, it was well structured, and it worked exactly as intended.

Then someone asked what I was going to do next, and I realized the work I had been proud of was the part I already knew how to do. The part that scared me, the unclear part, the part that required talking to people and possibly being wrong, I had not touched at all.

What Was Your Biggest Achievement of 2025?

Hi PH fam,

As 2025 comes to a close, it s time to pause and reflect.

Every journey has its milestones. Some loud, some quiet. Some planned, some unexpected.

What was your biggest achievement of 2025?
It could be a goal you finally reached, a habit you built, a fear you overcame, or simply not giving up when things got tough.

Stop waiting for users to explain themselves. They never will.

I learned this the hard way after spending weeks staring at dashboards trying to reverse-engineer why people dropped off.

Someone showed interest didn't convert. Someone signed up never came back. Someone was on a trial quietly disappeared.

What's one startup lesson you had to learn the hard way?

I'm a marketing tech builder. I've sold a startup, angel invested in a few, and am now building another.

Some things I believed 10 years ago turned out to be completely wrong. Others took me years (and quite a bit of money) to understand.

Making mistakes harder isn’t always better UX

A confirmation dialog seems like an easy way to prevent mistakes.

But think about deleting something in a product you use every day.

You click delete, get a warning, confirm, and move on. After seeing that dialog enough times, you probably stop reading it.

I ve been looking at this more as a recovery problem than a prevention problem.
