About

I've been a founder. I've been a head of growth. I've worked at Powered by Search (one of the best known SaaS marketing agencies). I've worked at Podia – a mostly bootstrapped startup. And here's what I've learned: Between $1-10M ARR SaaS companies often see plateaus and lose the energy from their growth/marketing efforts. So at Positive Human, I work hands on with founders and marketing teams at SaaS companies to get their growth moving again. I don't just tell people what to do – I get in there and do it for them, so that revenue starts moving fast. Here's some results I've driven recently: * Drove $50K in 30 days with a new lifecycle sequence * 2xed all time revenue from an affiliate program within 6 months * Closed 20% of all BFCM sales volume with a 1:1 outreach campaign * Generated $10K with a simple change to a signup flow * Added additional $10.7K MRR with an improved onboarding flow

Founder

Mar 2021Present · 5 yrs · On-site

  • I help founders and early marketing teams to get their signups and revenue moving again in two main ways:
  • Growth Punk – a 3 month sprint where I get hands on making lots of high impact growth projects happen around opportunities they haven't found or had time to prioritize.
  • 👨‍🎤 Typical results: increased revenue through new lifecycle sequences, better conversion from acquisition efforts, improved profitability in affiliate programs, increased retention and expansion revenue rates, increased activation
  • Lifecycle Sprints – in 4 weeks I stand up a series of broadcast emails to improve your visibility with your audience and get a prioritized list of your core lifecycle sequences such as onboarding, winbacks, upgrades and expansion sequences written.
  • 👨‍🎤 Typical results: increase conversion from free to paid, more days above baseline revenue, increased retention, better activation rates
  • Some clients I've worked with: Arrows, Castos, Plannit and Slides with Friends.
