You just found out how to save 3x more time on projects with an app! Great! But you also found out that your team just doesn\u2019t really care. How do you persuade them to start using the app with you? Here\u2019s a handy 7-step program you can try – today!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Convert one person.<\/h2>\n
\"Trello
Slack vs Trello on Google Trends<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Few apps are as contagious as Slack. Just take a look at their explosive growth. But the key how it got used by a bunch of people isn\u2019t in their marketing campaigns – they had none – but in word of mouth. Heck, they didn\u2019t even bother to hide their secret. Instead, they used it as one of their earliest slogans: \u201cSo yeah, we tried slack…\u201d<\/p>\n

Keyword: tried.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what you have to do. Find a colleague. Show them real value – in a demo! Do a quick demo with them when they\u2019re not expecting it. Whisper sweet things into their ear, as you show them how your app can save you guys 3x time. Sometimes, people will get on board just because it\u2019ll save them 0.1x of their nerves and patience. This is what you have to bank on, and you have to do it well. You\u2019re gunning for the moment when your colleague says \u201cyeah maybe we could try that.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happened when I wanted everyone in the marketing team at Exit festival to switch from email to Slack. Or, rather, to switch from the lunacy that is 100+ daily emails to something more sensible.<\/p>\n

I also pitched Trello as a great app to help us all focus on who\u2019s doing what in a project (up until then, all tasks were almost exclusively kept in one person\u2019s head). So it made it difficult and slow to find out who\u2019s who, what\u2019s what, and who can help you out with what. Trello solved all this perfectly with cards, a calendar, and the ability to connect people with cards.<\/p>\n

Once you get one person on board, it gets a bit easier, since it\u2019s now two of you. Rinse and repeat until you have enough people so you feel confident enough to\u2026<\/p>\n

Flip the switch<\/h2>\n

Keep talking about the pain points in the current way you manage projects. There\u2019s always one person in a team who hates getting emails all the time and would love to try it out if it helps them. There\u2019s another who likes to try new things. The third kind doesn\u2019t really care and has a project to work on. The fourth hates the idea, and hates change in general.<\/p>\n

In your case, you just have to win over 51% of your team. The rest will, in true democratic fashion, have to follow. After a while, people will calm down and embrace the new tool. But only if it proves it let\u2019s them do what they do in a faster way.<\/p>\n

It only took 4 people to get everyone to try Slack at Exit festival. Well, everyone in my marketing team at least. The Slack virus quickly spread though. Soon enough the PR folks were using it to communicate with us, and liked it so much, they started using it in their own team.<\/p>\n

Embrace the fact that not everyone will like it at first<\/h2>\n

Trying out new chat and project apps at work seemed like a godsend for people who hate email. And, of course, it seemed like hell to people who really love their Outlook 2016, or just don\u2019t want to leave Skype.<\/p>\n

The same will happen to you. Not everyone will be on-board because old habits die hard. Heck, nobody really wants to invest the time to learn new software if they feel safe (but frustrated) with what they have right now.<\/p>\n

This is the part where you calmly give them time and space. Don\u2019t force everyone to abandon Outlook the very same second. Don\u2019t get angry when they vocally complain about your new app. Too many complaining voices is bad, but if it\u2019s just a few, then just give them time and offer help if they need it.<\/p>\n

Ignore complaints like \u201cI don\u2019t like how it looks.\u201d or \u201cThis is dumb.\u201d When the Gmail team first redesigned Gmail almost a decade ago, people were violently furious. Negative comments – about the design we know and love today – flooded every orifice of the internet. Because folks just didn\u2019t want to lose this hot mess:<\/p>\n

After the dust settled, we all realized time is a construct, nothing matters, there are more important things in life\u2026 and moved on.<\/p>\n

Help everyone build habits – and break old ones<\/h2>\n

A colleague of mine back at Exit festival still sent out emails regularly even though we all agreed to try Slack and Trello. So, with each email, I gently reminded him that we all switched, and that I had replied with the info he needs in our channel. There were a lot of groans and moans, but in the end he stopped sending the emails, and started making new cards in Trello then telling me about them in Slack.<\/p>\n

When I explained about how the Trello bot can automatically notify me whenever he adds a new task for me, you can see his eyes glimmer with delight and feel his mind expand. It was nothing short of beautiful.<\/p>\n

The trick with folks who really love their safe habits is to just nudge them at the right time. An email reply. An attachment. A Google Docs link. They\u2019re all potential nudges you can use to get someone onto Slack. Find out what your app is really good at (maybe time management, project management, allocations, invoices, whatever) and use those features to nudge your colleagues over.<\/p>\n

For example, when they ask in an email what they\u2019re supposed to do, just reply \u201cHey, your tasks are over here. Let me know if I can help.\u201d Always offer to help ease their transition over to a new app. Just make sure you don\u2019t sound patronising in the process.<\/p>\n

Seriously – always offer help<\/h2>\n

Because you\u2019re the one who suggested the change, you\u2019re the leader of the transition as well. This means you have to be on call to help people figure out stuff. The second you don\u2019t have answers is the second everyone gives up on the app entirely.<\/p>\n

Because googling the answers isn\u2019t fast, simple, or easy. It\u2019s time consuming, frustrating, you feel like you failed (even though it\u2019s probably the app\u2019s UI\/UX fault), and besides – you have a lot of work and figuring out how this damn app works isn\u2019t on your to-do list.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where you jump in. The first couple of days you kind of have to role-play the app\u2019s support guy. Hopefully, if the app is any good, you won\u2019t have to bother too much. If all else fails, direct your colleagues to the app\u2019s support chat. (There\u2019s almost always a support chat.)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re building a house of cards<\/h2>\n

You have to know that someone else might come along with another app they\u2019d like everyone to try. Just like you came with yours. This is the part where you stop jealously defending your app. Instead, accept to try their app. If the entire team likes it, and if it works better for the majority, then hey: you win. Everybody wins when work gets done faster with less pain.<\/p>\n

Turns out that my colleagues at Exit ditched Slack and started using Viber groups, because the CEO really liked Viber. Democracy is great while it lasts, right? But they stuck with Trello nonetheless. And as I hear it, they\u2019re still using it today.<\/p>\n

Good habits die hard.<\/p>\n
