Digital Marketing Executive

Do you know why most SaaS companies fail to accelerate growth with online advertising?

They pick the wrong metrics to focus on because their strategies are flawed.

And I am not talking about vanity metrics,

I mean hardcore revenue metrics.

They think in order to grow revenue they need to focus on revenue metrics, like MRR.

But using MRR to optimise your online advertising campaigns is wrong.

Here’s why:

Online Advertising = More Leads = More Customers = ARR/MRR Growth

Really?

Growth is not that simple, is it? Something must be missing!

# HERE’S THE SECRET TO GROWTH

In order to grow to 7 - 8 figures ARR you need more than ‘more customers’,

You need to get them engaged with your product and you need to retain them.

Not just acquire them.

Advertising strategies that don’t take this into account fail. That’s it!

They use the wrong strategy, focus on the wrong metrics, and fall short of their goals.

# HERE’S WHERE I COME IN 🙋

I can deliver a strategy for YOUR SaaS business that grows revenue.

My systems and frameworks are tried and tested and THEY WORK because they follow this simple principle:

Create the right strategy first then connect the dots with the right metrics. 

Not the other way around.

Many SaaS companies make the mistake of creating a strategy around metrics. All they really create is a mismatch.

There is no secret to success, but you do need to know all the steps and the order to take them in. 

It’s like making a cake, knowing all the ingredients isn’t enough. 

You need to know how much and in what order to mix them, otherwise you'll end up with a squidgy lump rather than a tasty cake. 

There are no secrets working with me either. 

Throughout you’ll have a clear understanding of progress, what’s working, what’s not working, and how we’re going to improve.

# THINK CAREFULLY, IS THIS APPROACH RIGHT FOR YOU?

Unfortunately, I don’t work with everyone. All my clients MUST have:

1) an amazing product that customers love using again and again

2) experienced some success organically, without an effective online advertising strategy

3) at least 10K a month ready to invest in online advertising

If you match these criteria then your online advertising should be working and I can help you :)

Sound good? Then we’re done with the sales pitch and I want to explain exactly WHAT your problem is and HOW I plan to fix it.
