Transforming Customer Acquisition

Transforming Customer Acquisition Across a National Telecom E-Commerce Platform

Summary

A national telecom provider was experiencing friction across critical acquisition journeys, limiting customer progression through residential Internet, Mobile, TV, and bundled service purchase flows.

As UX Lead within a newly formed Digital Sales UX organization, I partnered across Product, Engineering, Analytics, and business stakeholders to identify customer friction, align competing priorities, and establish scalable experience patterns that supported customer acquisition, localization, bundling, and retention initiatives.

Why It Mattered
