How might we provide better self-serve options for small businesses?

The customer service team was spending too much time on small businesses, which weren’t their primary target audience. A significant number of incoming calls were from this segment. To optimize customer service hours, we needed to implement more self-service solutions for small businesses.

The Process

The 6 weeks were broken down into the following phases:


  1. Empathize & Learn 

    We conducted a website audit and interviewed 24 stakeholders to identify opportunities for enhancing the user experience.


  2. Define & Focus

    We targeted self-service improvements for the medium business segment by analyzing client personas, pinpointing specific needs, and mapping out user journeys to illustrate how these needs would be addressed through the website.


  3. Ideate & Wireframe

    We held collaborative brainstorming sessions, drawing inspiration from similar challenges faced by companies like BDC, WealthSimple, TD, BMO, and CIBC, to explore potential solutions.

Key Findings & Opportunities

Product ambiguity

Opportunity: Speak in the language of the customer 

Lack of transparency

Opportunity: Provide more information on product eligibility criteria 

Unclear next steps

Opportunity: Include a consistent and clear next step with information on next steps

Difficulty finding relevant information

Opportunity: Add crossing linking to supporting information

Lack of self-service features

Opportunity: Small businesses were missing self-service features that could help them assess their own eligibility without contacting the customer service team

Inconsistent module use

Opportunity: Use components consistently

Hand-off Documentation

The 30-page handoff document detailed the user needs for each template, provided component rationales, and explained all interactions. The next step is to test these designs with real content to ensure the UI effectively supports the content, helping users understand the product and determine their eligibility.
