Behind Every Click: Understanding the Core Motivation of Your Users

With every new feature launch, we get a flood of data—click rates, time spent, and user journeys. But do we ever ask, what is driving these clicks?

  • Example: Netflix.
    It could have been just another platform to stream movies and TV shows. Instead, they went deeper and realized people wanted a tailored experience. That is why you see suggestions that almost always seem perfect for you.
  • Past Experience:
    A productivity app analytics indicated that university students headed straight to the time management feature. They hardly explored the various widgets and extensions.

That is not random; that is their pressure point.

  • Some Stats:
    According to a study by Forrester, only 37% of businesses use behavioural data for customer insights. The behaviours often reveal what traditional metrics cannot.
  • The Lesson:
    Each click reveals a chapter. As product managers, we can not afford to skip any.
