Expertise
Copywriting
Working in sales for 3 years allowed me to try&fail&learn multiple times. I can help you with writing the copy, including how to create a story, add triggers/hooks, leverage AI, and use humor, to drive conversions.
Go to market strategy
PLG: I help you transition to or improve your product-led model, focusing on product usage as the primary driver of customer acquisition, conversion, and expansion. We will dive deep into the E.R.U.P.T. framework and identify the necessary areas to improve or implement. PLS (Product-Led Sales): Drawing from my success in integrating sales strategies with product-led growth, I will advise you on how to effectively combine sales efforts with product usage, to increase paid conversions.
Pricing strategy
Grounded on heavy research of customers and competition, I help you with the pricing, packaging, and value proposition adjustments to maximize revenue.
Product management
I audited tons of SaaS onboarding flows. I can help you with the activation, specifically with the strategies to improve user onboarding, identify and measure value metrics, and reduce TTV, enhancing user satisfaction and retention.
Product marketing
I help you define your target audience, your core offerings, and how to validate these hypotheses. We identify JTBD (jobs-to-be-done), including social and emotional components. Accordingly, update the product positioning. I am passionate about growth loops, specifically the UGC (user-generated content) loop, and how you can use them to scale your growth.
User research
I've spent more than 5 years working close to users/customers. Over this time, I learned how to talk to them and understand their pains, needs, and the power of non-leading questions. I love the Jobs-to-be-done methodology and can help you leverage it for multiple research purposes.
