Years behind the judgment calls

SaaS funnels leak at three gates: visit to signup, signup to activation, and trial to paid. Most teams optimise the first, ignore the second, and pray about the third, yet activation is usually where the compounding fix lives.

My SaaS conversion work runs the full corridor: landing and pricing pages that earn the signup, onboarding that reaches the aha moment fast, and the email plus in-product nudges that convert trials at the 18 percent benchmark and above.

How I Run It

1
Fix the aha path first

Define the activation event that predicts conversion, then remove everything between signup and reaching it. Faster aha lifts every downstream number.

2
Pricing page as objection theatre

The most-visited, least-optimised page in SaaS. Plan framing, objection handling, and honest comparison belong here, not just a table.

3
Signup friction economics

Every field and step justified against completion data. SSO, delayed profiling, and demo-versus-trial routing matched to your motion.

4
Trial nurture that sells outcomes

Emails tied to what the user has and has not done in-product, selling the outcome the product already started delivering.

What you get:

  • Full funnel instrumentation review: visit, signup, activation, paid
  • Activation event definition and aha-path redesign
  • Pricing and signup page rebuild specs
  • Behaviour-triggered trial email sequence
  • Cohort dashboard: conversion by source, plan, and activation status

PLG or sales-assisted? Both, with different architectures: PLG optimises for self-serve velocity, sales-assisted for qualified handoffs. Mixing the two blindly is a common leak in itself.

How does this connect to your SEO work? Directly: the 10x trials case was half content architecture, half funnel work. Traffic and conversion built together compound; built separately they blame each other.
