Head of Growth, Powered by Search
Follow Marc on Twitter
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
5 Things Marc Recommends You Check Out
1. Recently I read Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner – it was great!
2. Big fan of post-punk. Here's a playlist I made if you need an energy boost: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7mlkH2TcizzyYeJibQ5QSA?si=0b6059b522484310
3. Buy yourself a subscription to Mubi so you can watch rad films from around the world that never reach Netflix
4. Try to take a sauna a couple times a week – very zen
5. Being a founder is absolutely exhausting. But don't forget that you're a person as well as a founder. Do something nice for yourself
