B2B SaaS

Closed fewer deals. Revenue nearly tripled.

After years of stalled growth, a clearer ICP and stronger positioning transformed revenue and close rates.

The problem

Anna had been running her B2B SaaS for four years. Revenue plateaued at $1.2M for two of them. She had tried every growth coach, paid-ads agency, and lead-gen tactic on the market. None of it moved the number.

By the time we started, she was working 70-hour weeks, closing 12% of demos, and convinced she just needed more leads.

The real bottleneck

The diagnostic took two weeks. The pattern was unmistakable: Anna's offer was built for three different buyer types, priced for none of them. Her sales calls felt like negotiations because the value was unclear to the buyer before the call even started.

Not a lead problem. A positioning problem dressed up as one.

The hardest part was admitting we'd been selling the wrong thing to the wrong people for two years.

What we changed

  • Doubled the entry price from $1,200/mo to $2,400/mo in month three

  • Cut the offer from 3 tiers to 1, removed all customization

  • Rewrote sales scripts around outcomes, not features

  • Installed a weekly metrics review with the leadership team

The outcome

Revenue moved from $1.2M to $4.6M over nine months. Close rate went from 12% to 24%, with half the demos. Anna stopped working weekends in month four.

She renewed for a second engagement in 2024 and is now in the Inner Circle.
