“I could quickly access a wide range of mentors in different fields with different expertise to help to work towards my end goals.”
The Work
Tell us about what you are currently working on.
I'm bootstrapping a data science consulting company that has a SaaS product and enterprise clients. DDA Labs and I develop data science solutions that complement enterprise systems and embed intelligence into daily business operations.
As a Founder, I bring the mentality of speed, agility, and value creation to ensure our advice and solutions on data science are not just recommendations on flashy powerpoints but they will make a direct impact on the business, customer and revenue.
We now bring these capabilities into building a MarTech SaaS platform that maximises the reach and opportunity for B2B white-collar business owners on LinkedIn and the internet.
Before
Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?
I was knocking doors of the people who may or may not help.
I was reading books and deconstructing how high-growth companies do it.
I was testing the learning from various materials.
All of these changed after I joined GrowthMentor. I could now speed up all the above to achieve better results in a shorter time due to strategic and tactical advice from mentors.
The Decision
What ultimately compelled you to sign up for GrowthMentor?
It's no brainer for a small price to meet and get advice from people who have done it before.
Inside the Platform
What's your favorite thing about GrowthMentor?
I could quickly access a wide range of mentors in different fields with different expertise to help to work towards my end goals. They are genuine, experienced and not passing judgements.
What topics have you mostly discussed with mentors?
Mostly the things standing between us and growth. Our market positioning and messaging, conversion optimisation and moving trial users to paid, SEO for the product, and a bit of PPC and remarketing. Because I had access to so many mentors, I could get a few different takes on the same problem before deciding.
The Breakthrough
Is there a specific session/mentor that stands out in your mind as super helpful?
Paul Zaruchevsky gives both strategic and tactical advice, which lets me solve the immediate problem and walk away with a framework I can reuse later. I came back to him more than once. Ray Berry gave me practical, well-prepared advice on ranking my Chrome extension in search. And Vlad Derdeicea helped me on converting free users into paying ones, which is exactly what I was trying to crack.
The Transformation
How has GrowthMentor helped you?
Our SaaS product now has a more straightforward market proposition and marketing message to convey to our target audiences. The product also has more advanced level of growth and nudge to funnel the trial users into paying members.
It's making it so much easier for me to find and book a time with people who have experience in growing a SaaS product.
