Raising prices didn't kill our business 😆 Will share more on this later, but it's super interesting to see that raising prices didn't nuke our funnel. Instead... — we were still getting the same # of customers. — every sale was of 30-50% more value — quality of our signups went up — # of signups actually grew? Our old pricing was barely sustainable and didn't serve us. Yet, we almost chickened out. Only reason we did it so quickly was because we both read Rob Walling's SaaS playbook chapter on pricing. Now we've unlocked a new kind of growth 🚀 #saas #marketing #pricing

Unlocking Success—The Untold Secrets of a $50M ARR Journey This weekend, I delved into Adam Robinson video from a year ago, which, despite having only 1.8k views, offers profound insights. It asks: “Can you build a billion-dollar SaaS company in a year?” Adam’s path from bootstrapping Retention.com to hitting $14M ARR with just six employees is filled with lessons. He faced major hurdles, from near business failure to hiring challenges. A transformative 10-minute call from Dave Rogenmoser ⛳️ reference reignited his passion, and with advisor Santosh Sharan support, he turned things around. Here’s what I learned from Adam’s journey: 1. Resilience is Key: Every setback is a learning opportunity. 2. Value of Mentorship: Seek guidance and support from those who believe in your vision. 3. Adaptability: Embrace change and pivot when necessary. 4. Tough Decisions: Sometimes, making hard choices, like firing misfits, is crucial. 5. Customer Focus: Always prioritize delivering value to your customers. Adam’s story highlights the power of resilience, adaptability, and a strong support system. Apply these principles, stay committed, and push boundaries. Success is within reach!
