AlpineApps, a Boulder project management startup, was bleeding potential customers.
"We had this incredible 73% completion rate for users who finished onboarding in one session. But here's the kicker - only 31% of signups actually did that. The other 69%? They'd start, get interrupted, and never come back. We were essentially throwing away 2 out of 3 potential customers."
The painful reality: 69% abandonment, generic 'come back' emails ignored completely, no systematic way to win them back - $230K annually in abandoned signups.
"We calculated that if we could get just 20% of our abandoned users to complete onboarding, we'd add $40K monthly recurring revenue. But we had no systematic way to win them back."
– Jennifer Martinez, Head of Growth at RockiesRetail

// Automatically identifies stuck users
const abandonedUsers = await getAbandonedJourneys({
inactiveFor: '72 hours',
minSteps: 2
});await startReengagementCampaign({
users: abandonedUsers,
template: 'contextual_recovery',
timing: 'optimal_for_user'
});Real-time analytics show what works, auto-optimize messaging.
// Escalating engagement strategy

Stop watching potential customers slip away. Start turning abandoned signups into loyal customers with intelligent re-engagement.
P.S. Our re-engagement success rate (34%) is higher than the percentage of people who successfully complete a second attempt at climbing the Third Flatiron. And with significantly less risk of injury.
P.P.S. We've recovered $2.3M in abandoned revenue for customers this year. That's more than the total cost of all the abandoned construction projects on US-36 (though admittedly, that's a pretty low bar).
