Hi there,
Firstly, I want to sincerely thank you for being a Ridwell customer not once, but twice.
Secondly, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Yasmeen - the head of our Growth team here at Ridwell, and I'm taking your feedback very seriously.
We have indeed experienced tremendous growth since launching our new national product, Ridwell Mail In. It's a really exciting time, because each new member that signs on is helping to divert real waste from landfills, and it all adds up to quite a bit of impact.
But, I'll be the first to underscore that we can't grow at the expense of member experience. Thoughtful, inspiring, and--at the very least--*functional* member experience has always been at the center of our brand promise to you.
Our Member Success team is an especially dedicated group who care deeply about upholding this standard. Some of the folks on the team have been with us for over 7 years, helping countless members over that time period. We care a lot about them, and they care a lot about you.
Over the past few weeks, we've experimented with some growth efforts that inadvertantly caused an increase in Member Success team tickets, and as a result that team fell behind on responses.
Over the past two weeks, we rallied an internal taskforce to rectify the issue and I've temporarily slowed growth efforts to ensure that we can give every new member a fantastic experience. I'm proud to report that our hardworking team is back on track towards our typical ~24-48 hour response time.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback, and I'd be happy to speak with you personally should you have anything else you'd like to share.
And thank you, thank you, thank you for being a valued part of this community during your time with us.
-Yasmeen @ Ridwell
