CEO at Enavi | Customer-First Conversion Optimization for Shopify stores. Find your metric on fire 🔥 and unlock growth through data and customer research.

If you're curious... I didn't dream of this job. I wanted to be a musician and then failed at that and stumbled my way here. But let me tell you I love it.

I spend my days optimizing some of the biggest Shopify stores at Enavi a Shopify CRO agency.

We specialize in what we call Human-Obsessed CRO. Our process is simple we dive deep into the mind of the customer to understand why they buy and why they don't buy. Then we take those learnings and improve the on-site experience.

I am on a mission to make CRO more approachable, so if you want to chat just reach out!

In my free time you will probably find me watching or playing sports. I like to play board and card games (strategy games of course). You'll probably never catch me not in a hat... if you do, count yourself lucky.

Today I won a Shopify hack-off.

But the truth is I'm not a big fan of hacks.

I actually hate them...

Mostly because they don't actually make a meaningful impact.

Especially the CRO hacks you see littered all over LinkedIn.

The truth is some of these might win, 
but most of the time the impact is fluff 
and short term a feel good sugar rush.

It doesn't actually solve or 
even touch the REAL problems.

That is my biggest problem with hacks.

So instead of offering a hack.

I offered visibility into a REAL problem.

One that cripples 94% of the 
Shopify stores in our data set.

We call it the Product Discovery Problem.

Most stores don't even know it exists.

Curious to know if you're in the 94% of stores bleeding out revenue?

If enough people show interest on this post, I will package it up for all to use ☺️

Founder & CEO Enavi | We elevate the performance of 8 & 9 Figure Shopify Stores | Pioneering Human-Obsessed CRO

You wanna know the most neglected growth lever in ecomm? 

No... not Direct Mail, or AppLovin... 
I am not talking about marketing channels 
Or even post-purchase upsells

Or cross-promoting other brands 
on your thank you page for affiliate revenue.

I am not talking about any of those 
common tactics that are thrown around.

I am talking about a growth hack.

One that actually produces 
long-term sustainable growth.

I am talking about the one thing we'll have in common 
that you can't live without, if you're an ecomm store..

It's your on-site experience.

"You would say that your a CRO agency..."

The truth is most brands neglect it.

Our data shows nearly 75% of 8-figure brands on Shopify don't even have an AB Testing tool installed.

That is wild. 

So I am going to unpack how you 
ACTUALLY turn it into a growth lever.

Most brands are squandering it.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

What does CRO actually look like for a growing brand?

Let's say ecomm brands doing 10-50mil

Contrary to what some people will say...

It's not just: 
"run more AB tests."
"personalize your experience."

Or the slew of other things you'll hear...

It starts with understanding 
how users navigate your funnel.

Where are the bottlenecks? 

What is your Metric on Fire.

We call it the Intra-Site Funnel.

It always exposes the biggest gaps 
crippling your store's performance.

This is foundational and cannot be ignored.

But here's what most brands get wrong:

They skip the foundation entirely.

Whether they just ignore it 
(a lot in this bucket...)

Or by jumping straight to testing ideas 
without understanding their store's funnel

That's not CRO.

You can't skip the first 
step in the process.

If you're at 10, 20, 30 million 
and haven't mapped out 
where your funnel
breaks down...

You're wasting your time 
and not actually getting 
to the root of the issue.

Start with the Intra-Site Funnel. 

It's foundational to turning 
your on-site experience 
into a growth lever.

Review: 
"Originally when I first contacted Irina I was a SAAS founder stuck in managing all my teams' operations trying to make all the developers work efficiently and deliver good results.
The thing is, my team always asked too many questions and they didn't have a good idea what to do all the time.
The biggest obstacle was that I wanted to start finally focusing on marketing our system, but I couldn't step away from managing the daily operations. That meant I couldn't really grow the business if I didn't switch the focus, which meant I wasn't able to make my project a success.
Then I hired Irina to help to build a company culture that can support self-organization!
In only a few hours it became crystal clear to me how to make developers manage themselves and still be on track because I saw that I actually could do less hands-on management and my team could still perform.
With Irina as our Agile coach, I can now finally focus on growing my business and be sure my team has got my back.
And that's why I'm providing my highest recommendations to work with Irina so you can get these types of results too."

Review: 
"Hire Irina if:
🚫 You're tired of hiring and re-hiring amateur project managers
🚫 You know that your project management system is lacking
🚫 You aren't surrounded with people that give you the constructive and direct feedback you need to grow your business
🚫 You're in charge of managing projects and you HATE it or like it but are lying to yourself at being good at it
✅ You're ready for growth
✅ You're ready for clarity on what's going on in your business
✅ You're a business owner long overdue for a vacation but can't take one because you're afraid everything will fall apart.

Irina was a pivotal resource in our growth as a company at a very crucial point. She came in as I was really feeling the pain of being a solo business owner that was trying to grow their organization and was feeling the growing pain of wearing so many hats in the business that I wasn't suited for.

Irina was outside of my initial budget, but I was 100% certain she was the right expert to untangle the mess and set our startup in a better growth trajectory with a cleaned-up PM experience. She was confident and decisive from the get-go, which was great. I get that some people want to collaborate with experts, but in an area where I have no expertise, that is the last thing I need to be doing. 

There are very few people that you can 100% trust, and Irina is one of them. With her, I always felt that if something went wrong she would take complete ownership to fix that problem at all costs and wouldn't throw up her hands. She's not only a specialist in PM but a generalist overall when it comes to growing a business and it's operations, and getting sh*t done! 

Had I not hired Irina when I did, I'd not be surprised if our business had closed due to crumbling operations and lackluster project management expertise."

Review:
"We were finding our engineering velocity had ground to a halt as we brought on more engineers. Especially with remote teams, improving communication and process became a necessity. So we set out to find a coach to help us improve our agile process and communication.
Irina was incredibly professional and came in with well-honed process principles. She met with team members and reviewed Jira, then hit the ground running with team education via video demos, process proposals and overall consensus-building (what good is a process if everyone is not on board).
She then set up all our team meetings with agendas, and acted as a scrum master, moderator and referee for standup, backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint review, and retrospective ensuring we all adhered to the process, played our defined roles and stuck to the principles of Scrum. Additionally, she added some time-saving automation in Jira and introduced us to some cool 3rd party tools that saved us real-time.
Overall, Irina quickly became an invaluable member of our team, including offering great insight to our leadership team and helped us graduate from the world of the processes to a more self-governing team with unified understanding and accountability.
If you are a startup or maturing engineering team that has sort of made-up process, as an amalgamation of what different engineers have picked up from various companies they’ve worked out, we would highly recommend working with Irina, to unify your process, and provide the predictability that communication and accountability bring."

Reinventing yourself is not an identity crisis. It is a growth strategy.
I reinvent myself every 2 to 3 years. Sometimes - every project.
Same brain. New mission. New skill stack.

Marketing culture wants you boxed into one label.
One lane. One headline. One “thing”.
That works for selling templates. Not for building real leverage.

Here’s my rule.
Keep exploration private. Keep outcomes public.

Public:
What I ship. What I learned. What I can do for you now.

Private:
The messy rebuild. The doubt. The experiments. The pivots.

If you post every reinvention in real time, you look unstable.
If you hide forever, you look invisible.

Publish when the new version has proof.
Revenue. Results. Reps. Receipts.
