## Cited GrowthDex tactics

- [Founder 30-second reply SLA for early users](/growth-ideas/founder-30-second-reply-sla-for-early-users/) - Treat early-user replies like a live operating console: answer almost immediately while the user still has the tab open and the problem in front of them.
- [Manual chat onboarding before self-serve](/growth-ideas/manual-chat-onboarding-before-self-serve/) - Set up the first users manually over chat or in person before you automate signup, so you can watch friction show up in real time.
- [One-click deployment bridge to self-serve](/growth-ideas/one-click-deployment-bridge-to-self-serve/) - After manual onboarding proves the core value, ship a one-click setup path that removes the biggest installation step for the next wave of users.
