SaaS like RedTrack or even with larger tickets, they get multiple touch points across different channels, Facebook, display ads, partner ads, referrals, before somebody commits to even a trial and then to subscription.

convert into a trial, and then later on, since we combine on-site data with offline conversions coming from CRM HubSpot, for example, we can keep building that customer journey into multiple conversion stages from trial to demo to initial sign-up to recurring sales so that the marketers can see the best channels that are driving the best impacts.

So that's why I say the advice that sticks most in my memory would be my talk with Compatero CEO six months ago when he helped me reshape our approach to pricing by just looking at our numbers and saying to me one phrase, that your customer pricing is not a journey from low to high.
