so many gems in this one Mack.

The idea that the first purchase represents customer commitment is pure fantasy. The data shows it's just a trial balloon where they briefly kick the tires before potentially bouncing.

I saw this with a client that had achieved cult-like loyalty among its core user base. Yet their metrics revealed a shockingly high 90-day attrition rate among first-time buyers - essentially 9 out of 10 newcomers sampled the product once, then ghosted forever.
