Hey, {{first_name | product-preneur}}!
In the first five minutes, your potential customers' brains hijack their decision-making. They either buy or fly.
And most founders are making it harder than it needs to be.
Recently, I watched a founder add a feature request form to their homepage. Right next to the pricing button. Next to the demo CTA. Next to the newsletter signup.

The same thing happens on your homepage, your onboarding flow, your pricing page. Every extra option splits their focus. They don't even realize they're overwhelmed.
They just leave.
Now here's how to fix it.
