Helping fashion and beauty brands maximize revenue using data-driven and profitable email and SMS campaigns

Working as the VP of Customer Success for a top marketing analytics firm, I discovered the power data-driven campaigns had in unlocking massive hidden revenue streams.

By understanding, engaging, & activating their customers through an optimized customer journey (both online and offline), my clients have decreased their customer acquisition cost, increased their AOV by 26%, and lifted their product sales growth by 30%. 

After the analytics company, I worked for was acquired in 2018, I started my own consulting business, helping SaaS companies expand their reach & build best-in-class customer success departments. 

Being an unapologetic data nerd, I love nothing more than diving into a spreadsheet & analyzing numbers & trends.

Working for an AI-driven marketing company, I fell in love with data, customer segmentation based on behaviour, and personalized marketing campaigns. There, I honed my skills in Customer Journey Mapping, helping clients maximize their revenue and sales growth. 

Crunching the numbers to help business owners achieve their growth dreams keeps me excited daily!

I specialize in email and SMS campaigns & digital marketing strategies for brick-and-mortar & direct-to-consumer fashion & beauty brands generating $10-60MM annual revenue. 

My clients seek my strategic campaign experience to:

~ Provide input & strategic direction to meet business objectives and exceed financial expectations.

~ Analyze existing email marketing campaigns & flows to see where they are leaving money on the table and how they can increase revenue.

~ Refine their SMS marketing approach & strategy to increase conversions or launch a brand new SMS program from the ground up.

~ Improve email & SMS signup conversions.

~ Oversee deliverability & compliance processes to maintain & improve program performance.

~ Identify additional email & SMS flows to drive incremental revenue continually.

Email & SMS marketing should be a source of revenue and growth businesses can rely on. But too many companies are leaving money on the table and struggle to find the bandwidth to optimize their marketing campaigns. 

If your acquisition costs are growing but you’re struggling to meet & exceed your online revenue expectations, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to expand. 

It’s why clients come to me to identify what messages they need to be putting in front of their customers to maximize their email & SMS marketing. 

If you’re a fashion or beauty brand that is looking for growth, I invite you to email me at sam@businessbeforefashion.com.

RevUp Accelerator strengthens businesses and boosts their sales through customer-centric email and SMS marketing. 

Since inception, we have generated over $50MM in attributable email and SMS revenue. For example, one of our clients, a fashion retailer, increased its email-based sales by 550%. 

Our core values revolve around trust, respect, honesty, and results. 

We seek to build mutual trust with every client to ensure an honest business relationship. There’s a trend in online marketing: selling a generic campaign or email flow and acting like that’s a holistic solution. But this is setting brands up to fail with unrealistically high expectations.

By being honest and upfront on all decisions, our team and clients are on the same page. I ensure my clients have a strategy that aligns with their audience and their product so they’re clear about the longer-term strategic roadmap for the future of their business.

In working with your marketing team, I will help them to…

~ Create buyers’ personas so you can start sending the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

~ Map out your customer’s journey with your product or service — from the first touchpoint to where you want them to end up.

~ Use your customer journey map to improve conversions and sales.

~ Understand the anatomy of a good email, along with email sequences, automation, and the importance of segmentation.

~ Nurture relationships through your emails so your subscribers stick to you like glue.

~ Measure what’s important, track metrics, identify gaps and maximize conversions.

~ Continue to improve your email deliverability and get into your customer’s inbox, not marked as spam or promotion.

If you’re ready to grow your profits with sure-fire methods guaranteed to give success every time…

Let me help you to create targeted, personalized marketing campaigns to maximize revenue for your business. Email sam.mcgregor@revupaccelerator.com.

My wife is one of the secret weapons I have



She did Uber eats with me, driving 12 hours a day by my side.

She helped me deliver groceries for my first business.

She was alone in Toronto while I worked 5am–8pm at the start-up.

She's the one who encouraged me to start my own side hustle(s)

She hears every idea first and pokes holes in it.

When things fail and I feel like quitting, she catches me and helps me keep going.

Every win or big idea i've had, she's been behind it.

If you want an unbeatable competitive advantage in life & business.

Marry the right person.

Be close with your parents because one day you won't be able to.⁣
⁣
⁣
Canadian male life expectancy is 79.⁣
⁣
My dad's 72⁣
⁣
I think about everything he's done for me:⁣
⁣
- Picked me up at 3am when I worked concerts at the Scotia Bank Arena and SkyDome.⁣
⁣
- Drove me to over 20 schools across Canada when I wanted to be a personal trainer (yes really)⁣
⁣
- Only missed 2 or 3 hockey games in 10 years.⁣
⁣
- Made the trip between Laurier and McMaster probably a thousand times.⁣
⁣
Never complained once.⁣
Just showed up.⁣
⁣
(Tim Hortons in hand ofc)⁣
⁣
I've spent the last 5 years grinding as a CSM.⁣
⁣
Climbing from support to enterprise accounts with Fortune 100 companies.⁣
⁣
Working with the biggest brands in Europe.⁣
Building my business.⁣
⁣
And for what?⁣
⁣
If I don't make time for the people who made time for me?⁣
⁣
Your 6 figure salary won't matter when you're sitting at a funeral wishing you'd called more.⁣
⁣
Your promotion won't fill the regret of missed dinners.⁣
⁣
Your "grind" won't bring back the years you were too busy.⁣
⁣
I'm telling you this because too many of us are chasing titles, and comp plans while our parents are aging in real-time.⁣
⁣
(myself included)⁣
⁣
You think you have decades.⁣
You might have 5-10 years if you're lucky.⁣
⁣
Call your parents today.⁣
Visit them this weekend.⁣
⁣
Stop making excuses about being "too busy."⁣
⁣
Because one day you'll have all the time in the world.⁣

The best time to be interviewing is when you're really happy at your current job.⁣
⁣

A lot of people wait till things get bad or they become unemployed to start job hunting.⁣
⁣
But this is a mistake, because in the eyes of a recruiter, when you actually have a job, you are more valuable.⁣
⁣
You are more wanted.⁣
You are a prized possession.⁣
⁣
You are also able to take on interviews at a much more leisurely pace and pick and choose where you want to land.⁣
⁣
There's something subconscious when you have a job and interviewing.⁣
⁣
You have confidence and conviction in your words because you are not desperate.⁣
⁣
(I see this time and time again)⁣
⁣
I was speaking to someone two weeks ago.⁣
⁣
They finally secured a high-paying CSM job.⁣
⁣
How?⁣
⁣
They took a lower one first.⁣
⁣
Simply because they had income coming in, they felt a huge weight off their shoulders entering the other interviews.⁣
⁣
I'm not saying to job hunt every six months.⁣
⁣
I think that's really stupid, and it takes years to learn a product and an industry; but it doesn't hurt to find out how much you're worth.⁣
⁣
Maybe you're being underpaid.⁣
⁣
Maybe there's a company that is incredible.⁣
⁣
Maybe you should start looking over the fence.⁣
⁣
Because there is grass….and it may be greener...

You will die and months later, no one will care. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Why care what they think, when they care about what you do so little.?
⁣
I post each day for the past 3 years knowing that if I died tomorrow most people wouldn't care.⁣
⁣
(Some may even be happy LOL)⁣
⁣
I coach people to grow on linkedin and i've said the same thing countless times⁣
⁣
'nobody is thinking about you'⁣
'you aren't special' ⁣
'you are a spec of dust'⁣
⁣
[Studies show 78% of people overestimate how much others think about them APA source is Gilovich, T., Medvec, V. H., & Savitsky, K. (2000)] ⁣
⁣
It's wild, but its freedom.⁣
⁣
Because once you realize nobody cares, you can finally make decisions that matter.⁣
⁣
That coworker judging you for job hunting? ⁣

/They'll forget about you in 3 months.⁣
⁣
That manager who said you're "not ready" for a senior role? ⁣

/They're protecting their budget and politics, not your career.⁣
⁣
That LinkedIn connection who thinks you're "desperate" for applying to 1,000 jobs? ⁣

/They're broke and bitter.⁣
⁣
In this life, this is what matters⁣

(to me)⁣
⁣
• Your mental and physical⁣
• You being a good human⁣
• Your family's security⁣
⁣
Not their opinions on strangers and sheep⁣
⁣
(Bah bah baaah 🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏)⁣
⁣
I've watched people stay in $85K roles for YEARS because they were scared of what people would think.⁣
⁣
Whereas the ones who bet on themselves are making $120K+ and sleeping better at night.⁣
⁣
Your career loyalty is one-sided.⁣
⁣
Not your manager's problem.⁣
Not your mentor's priority.⁣
Not LinkedIn's business.⁣
Not your companies⁣
⁣
YOURS⁣
⁣
Stop letting people who won't pay your bills, control your decisions.

I guarantee 99% of ALL CSMs forgot to do this last quarter (I'll Venmo you if I'm wrong)


Write down your accomplishments.

Every single one of them.

You crushed it last quarter but you didn't document any of it.

1. You saved that account from churning but you already forgot the details of how you actually pulled it off.

2. You hit 119% NRR but you can't remember the specific conversations that got you there.

3. You onboarded 15 new clients seamlessly but it's already a blur because you moved on to the next fire.

And then 6 months from now when you need to update your resume or ask for a raise or justify your existence in a layoff meeting...

You'll sit there staring at a blank screen trying to remember what you actually did.

Meanwhile the CSM who documented everything walks into that same meeting and says:

"I saved a $2M account in Q3 with one phone call at midnight because I heard panic in the VP's voice and knew something was wrong."

Guess who gets the raise?
Guess who survives the layoff?

Don't be that person scrambling to remember.

Every Friday, take 10 minutes and write down:

- Accounts you saved and how you saved them
- Revenue you protected or grew and the exact dollar amount
- Problems you solved that nobody else could figure out
- Feedback you received from customers or leadership
- Wins, big or small, because they all add up

Your future self will thank you when you're sitting across from a hiring manager and you have receipts instead of "uhh I think I did well that quarter."

Don't be so humble that you forget to flex your value.

Because nobody else will do it for you.

P.S. I'm Canadian and don't have Venmo so sorry Greta, you're out of luck! 🇨🇦

How David went from 1 year unemployed to an $100K CSM in 29 days (without networking)


David was an experienced CSM from LA.

He'd managed millions in ARR, expanded enterprise accounts, and crushed quarter after quarter like it was nothing.

When layoffs hit, none of that mattered.

(many of us have felt this)

He was unemployed for 12 months.

𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲. 
𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀.

Do you know what 12 months of unemployment does to a person??

Watching your savings drain week after week while you pretend everything's fine at family dinners because you can't handle another 

"𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘄'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴?" 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Checking your bank account at 2am knowing the number is only going one direction.

Applying to 50 jobs a week, getting ghosted by 49 of them, and wondering if you even know how to do this job anymore.

The confidence that took you 8 years to build? Gone in 6 months.

David made it to final rounds MULTIPLE times.

Same rejection every time: "We went another direction."

The feedback loop we all get:

"Not the right industry fit" (after working across 3 industries)
"Portfolio size doesn't match" (after managing $4M in ARR)
"Need more experience" (after 4 years in CS)

He could do the job.

But his resume wasn't showing it and his confidence was completely gone.

So David stopped spinning and reached out.

We fired up the FIRE framework 🔥

→ A tech recruiter rewrote his resume to highlight million-dollar wins
→ Auto-apply tools scaled him to 40+ applications daily
→ Interview prep with Jessica to nail his delivery
→ Rebuilt confidence after months of rejection beating him down

Interviews started flowing.
10 companies in total.

More rejections (that's the market right now).

But he kept going because he was truly committed to not letting another month pass.

Then he got it 🥳

$85K base
$100K OTE
Fully remote
Senior CSM title

𝗜𝗻 𝟮𝟵 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀.

12 months of hell and grind to get there.

But he made it.

And the best part wasn't just the job.

It was seeing his family 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 of him again after a year of feeling like he was letting everyone down.

It was regaining his self-worth, his confidence, and his income.

This is why I do this with people.

To change lives and that of their families.

So… if you're a CSM who:

→ Managed millions in portfolio
→ Proven expansion track record
→ Keep losing in final rounds
→ Tired of watching your savings disappear

DM me "DAVID" or click"book an appointment"

And we'll see if we're a fit to get you a new CSM role together.

What if relationships don't matter in customer success or renewals?⁣
⁣

We've all had a client that we got along with.⁣
⁣
Heck, you might have really liked each other; but they left for a competitor.⁣
⁣
Why did this happen?⁣
⁣
Ultimately, the client left because they no longer had a compelling reason to stay.⁣
⁣
And too many customer success managers (myself included) at the beginning of our career overindex on personal relationships.⁣
⁣
But what people don't understand is that personal relationships will NOT keep a customer there.⁣
⁣
The specific impact that a personal relationship has with a customer is to have a true line of communication.⁣
⁣
That is the only thing it actually gives you.⁣
⁣
If your product is trash, you're screwed.⁣
If your product is not stable, you're screwed.⁣
If your support is poor, you're screwed.⁣
⁣
And that's why I think a lot of customer success managers are going to be out of a job in the next 24 months.⁣
⁣
They think that having a relationship means having a job, but it doesn't.⁣
⁣
If you are not a strategic mind of your customer's business, you are truly worthless.⁣
⁣
Don’t know the product? Learn it!⁣
⁣
You have become an order taker...aka an owl at Hogwarts.⁣
⁣
To change this, what I have been doing the past four years as an enterprise customer success manager is pretending that I am an investor in this company.⁣
⁣
Next time before your client call; enter their mindset.⁣
⁣
Then I jump on a call; I say, "If I were the CEO of your business, I would do A, B, C, and D."⁣
⁣
Because nobody cares if you answer their emails quickly.
⁣
What they care about is you have a strategic vision to help their business GROW.

"I really want to work at Salesforce" (I ask them why)⁣
 ⁣

Is it so their mom knows the name?⁣

Get 50 likes on their "I started a new position" post?⁣

So they can say "Ex-Salesforce" one day?⁣
 ⁣
My clients chase paychecks.⁣
⁣
Money. Quid. Dollar Bills. Shekals. Raha. ⁣Euros. 
⁣
Others chase logos and ego boosts⁣.
 ⁣
There are 1,000 boring companies I had never heard of.⁣

Truly, I never HEARD of any of the companies i've worked for.⁣

But there I was and hear I am. 
⁣
So many are paying 100K, remote, with great benefits.⁣
⁣
And they actually hire.⁣
 ⁣
While others fight for the 1 job at Google...⁣

My clients take the check from the boring company.⁣
 ⁣
Ego doesn't pay rent...but keep on aiming for that "Google dream job"

Living in Finland is like living in Narnia...


You walk outside and it's pitch black at 3pm like the sun just gave up on you.

The forests look like they're hiding talking animals and ancient secrets.

And everyone acts like -20°C is "not that bad" while you're questioning every life decision that brought you here.

(I do this daily)

But nobody complains.

Because complaining in Finland is basically a crime; you just suffer in silence and drink coffee and get kalsarikännit

The Finns have this thing called "sisu" which roughly translates to "shut up and deal with it"

There's something beautiful about a country where:

- Silence isn't awkward, it's respected
- Personal space is a love language
- Strangers don't make small talk (its EPIC)
- The sauna fixes everything, and I mean everything

Maybe Finland isn't Narnia.

Maybe it's better?

A place where honesty thrives and nobody asks "how are you" unless they actually want to know.

Oh, and you can walk by people you know and ignore them if you don't like them....its truly epic.

Have a blessed Sunday ☕🇫🇮

The BEST app I use as an enterprise CSM only costs $5 but it's a game changer.⁣
⁣
⁣
A pen and a piece of paper.⁣
⁣
(STAY WITH ME GRETA)⁣
⁣
Most CSMs sit on calls nodding along, responding to questions.⁣
⁣
No pen. No paper.⁣
⁣
I get it.⁣
⁣
You're busy AF.⁣
25 unread Slacks.⁣
Escalation call in 10 minutes.⁣
⁣
But here's why I take handwritten notes on every single call:⁣
⁣
1. It shows you're actually listening (customers notice)⁣
⁣
2. You catch things you'd miss typing⁣
⁣
3. You ask better follow-up questions⁣
⁣
4. You remember more without re-watching the recording⁣
⁣
5. You look like a pro, not a robot⁣
⁣
6. Your customer doesn't want you transcribing.⁣
⁣
They want you 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭.⁣
⁣
A $5 notebook does what no AI tool can:⁣
⁣
It forces you to pay attention.⁣
⁣
Try it this week.⁣
⁣
One call, a pen and a piece of paper.⁣
⁣
You'll feel the difference and your customers will too.⁣

I've seen sales teams lie through their teeth to hit quota (Haven't we all?)


And in 2026...

Marketing costs are through the roof.

CAC is at an all-time high.

Every executive is running around panicked looking for a solve.

But....

The silver bullet has been sitting in the corner getting underpaid and overlooked this entire time.

The CSM

The main thing keeping these SaaS companies alive is them.

I watch the AE bring them in.

With promises the product can't keep.

With timelines that are completely unrealistic.

With features that don't exist yet but "should be ready by Q2."

Then they close the deal, collect their commission, and peace out.

The CSM is left holding the bag.

They are the Iron Dome.
They are the Hoover Dam.
They are the Wall of Westeros.

They secure the renewal that keeps the lights on.

Tell me I'm wrong habibi????

Without that renewal, the company dies.

The AE gets the President's Club trip to Bali.

The CSM ensures there's still a company to work for next year.

Getting a CSM job is just math (and most of you are failing)⁣
⁣

I know I know "you need to network"⁣
I know I know "target your fave companies"⁣
I know I know "get that CSM certification first"⁣
I know I know "your uncle's cousin is getting you a referral"⁣
⁣
None of that changes the math.⁣
⁣
I've watched too many talented CSMs burn out sending 50 applications wondering why nothing's landing.⁣
⁣
This is the journey:⁣
⁣
500 apps → 25 responses (1-5% reply rate)⁣
25 responses → 6 recruiter screens (50% ghost)⁣
6 screens → 3 hiring manager calls (50% pass)⁣
3 HM calls → 1-2 panels (50% pass)⁣
1-2 panels → 1 final round (30% make it)⁣
1 final → 0.5 offers (50% close)⁣
⁣
Then that offer might be a lowball.⁣
⁣
OR⁣
⁣
The budget freezes.⁣
⁣
500 applications = 1 signed offer⁣
⁣
(Maybe)⁣
⁣
Some of you will need 1000 applications.⁣
⁣
(Sorry to tell you Greta)⁣
⁣
This is a lottery and you're buying ONE ticket wondering why you're not winning.⁣
⁣
So when retired CSMs and LinkedIn gurus who haven't applied since 2019 tell you to "send 12 targeted applications" and "network your way in"...⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗼𝘄'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂?⁣
⁣
Volume is the game.⁣
Pipeline is the strategy.⁣
⁣
Sit down and do the work.⁣
⁣
And if you can't accept that?⁣
⁣
Why even get started.

I placed 134 CSMs by doing the opposite of what career coaches tell you...


LinkedIn career coaches tell people to "tailor each resume."

But why does nobody question that?

If you spend 30 minutes customizing each application, 2,000 apps = 1,000 hours.

That's 6 months of full-time work just tweaking resumes.

Six. 
Months.

(Do you have 6 months? Didn't think so.)

My clients get results because I've understood something these coaches don't:

It's a numbers game, not a perfection game.

Career coaches love giving easy advice:

"Tailor your resume for each role."
"Customize your cover letter."
"Use keywords from the job description."

It's comfort food for job seekers

(Who doesn't love McDonalds I get it)

But, it makes you feel productive while keeping you unemployed longer.

Most of them have never been recruiters.
They've never applied for jobs in 2026.

Some call themselves "recruiters" after being in the space for one year 💀

They're giving 2019 advice in a market where you're competing against 500 other CSMs for the same role.

Recruiters spend 6 seconds on your resume.

They don't read cover letters when they have 1,000 applications.

They're skimming, not studying your carefully crafted customizations.

I hate to break it to you habibi; you're not that special 

Your perfectly tailored application isn't going to make them fall in love with you.

While you spend 2 hours perfecting one application, someone else applied to 20 jobs with a solid resume.

Guess who's getting the interviews?

I've placed 134 CSMs into jobs.

Not by teaching them to tweak fonts and keywords.

By teaching them to have ONE solid resume and hit the volume button.

Embrace the grind.


P.S. I'm no guru; I'm the real deal

P.P.S Send me a DM or click "Book an Appointment" if you want help getting your next CSM role

Every Sunday, over 5,000 CSMs open an email from me to learn how to grow faster, earn more, and escape the job-hunt chaos.

LinkedIn career coaches are selling comfort food (and it's giving me diabetes)


"Networking is key."
"Tailor your resume."
"Find your passion."

It sounds nice and it feels safe and it makes you feel like you're doing something productive when you're actually just spinning your wheels.

But here's the problem...

It keeps people unemployed for months while they "perfect" their resume and wait for the "right opportunity" to magically appear in their inbox.

I see coaches who haven't hired a CSM since 2019 telling people how to get hired in 2026 like the market hasn't completely transformed.

They're teaching trench warfare tactics when you're getting hit with drone strikes from every direction.

The market changed and nobody sent them the memo.

Recruiters use AI filters now that scan your resume in 6 seconds and toss it in the trash if it doesn't hit the right keywords.

Hiring managers are getting 500 applications for a single role and they don't have time to read your beautifully crafted cover letter.

Volume is the way through, not sitting around waiting for your "network" to come through for you.

I find listening to outdated advice from people who haven't been in the job market in years isn't just a waste of time.

It's genuinely dangerous because it gives you false hope while your savings account drains and your confidence crumbles.

I prefer advice from the people who are actually in the fire right now, fighting for roles and seeing what works in real time.

Not the ones watching from the balcony sipping coffee and telling you to "stay positive" while you're drowning.
