What to Measure
Measure your KPIs against Industry benchmarks
Activation Rate by Source: Who actually engages after signup?
Trial-to-PQL Ratio: Are these users even hitting product milestones?
Signups with No Usage: How many vanish after day 1?
Conversion to Paid by Channel: Who’s bringing the buyers?
How to Fix It
Refine Your Offer: Be specific. Tell them exactly who it’s for.
Add Friction: Yes, really. Slight friction filters out noise.
Use Intent Signals: Website behaviors, enrichment, form fills.
Gate Entry with Purpose: Ask key questions before letting them in.
Re-score Leads Post-Signup: Requalify after usage kicks in.

Should I reduce signup volume to improve intent?
You may need to. It’s better to have 100 qualified signups than 1,000 empty ones.
Can I recover low-intent users?
Sometimes. Use onboarding personalization and nurture flows—but start with prevention.
