The world is filled with:
Growth marketers
Growth managers
Growth hackers
Product growth hackers
You also need a growth designer in your SaaS team!
Reason1: Most UI/UX designers are studied in design school
They don't know much about real customer psychology and how to acquire customers. Instead, they only focus on improving visuals and user experience.
Reason2: Designers don't know about CRO
Conversion rate optimization is another essential skill that a traditional designer lack. Why this is an important skill, you may ask?
Well, if the design is not improving the profit of the SaaS, why does someone bother to hire a designer?
In 2018, Snapchat lost millions of users because of the redesign. If their designers know CRO, they will not redesign the whole app but improve the flow bit by bit!
