The goal: Create change that will be noticed…
You spotted this massive problem that was screaming to be solved…

Getting traction is challenging – in various stages of your business

β – Instead of becoming the hero to somebody, we aim to be everything to everybody
β – Instead of selling at a premium, we drop the price and get trapped in discount battles

No wonder so many SaaS startups fail
Getting out of this trap requires changing the game
The new game: Traction Resilience
It’s anchored around a simple yet powerful word: Remarkable.
SaaS companies that embrace this experience The Remarkable Effect:

π – They don’t just grow fast – they create a fly-wheel effect
And ultimately, they build traction resilience
