Reviews
I wanted to express my gratitude, as this community has really helped me a lot. A few months ago, I reached out in the chat for help in building a sales process for B2B SaaS, looking for someone with experience in the Head of Sales position who could get involved in the work.
I would like to give special thanks to @ArtemArtem555 and @RomanIshchenko from Raised for their prompt response and assistance in finding a suitable candidate. Thanks to this, we were able to significantly improve many aspects of our sales

We shifted our focus from the product to monetization — partly thanks to this community. We underestimated the work with onboarding and the paywall: we didn’t offer to buy at the start of the session. We experimented little with trials and discounts and poorly sold how we solve pain points.
We are already seeing results: for example, the paywall conversion rate has increased to 80%, and November was a record month for revenue — $ 5.5K

Guys, I want to share my experience working with @Artembabinov. Everything went quickly, pleasantly, and at a high level. I was promptly contacted, offered great options, and invoiced to a legal entity. The manager, a very pleasant girl, immediately provided the address, and I was able to order bank cards.
Katya, thank you for tagging Artem! Artem, thank you so much!
I temporarily don’t have an assistant, and I don’t like handling such tasks, but everything went smoothly and without any issues with you. Thank you all very much!

The Mobile App group has provided a lot of value, especially in finding experts for urgent tasks. Over the past 1.5 months, we haven’t used the group, as we’ve resolved 80% of our issues.
Now the focus is on ramping up a new B2B direction, where we use our data for hypotheses. We decided to fully transition to the B2B group and add new participants to have access to consultants.
I reviewed the class catalog and contacts in B2B and decided that the transition will involve a different composition
