Description

On this episode, Georgiana and Claire are joined by Steve De Jong and Diego Richards, the CEO and CCO of Stillio, who started working with Forget The Funnel earlier this year.

Steve and Diego share their journey from blindly experimenting with marketing tactics and dangerously slow growth to a renewed sense of optimism for the future. With a new understanding of their amazing customers, they learned that growth doesn’t have to come from spending more on top-of-funnel marketing.

We unpack the importance of understanding the use cases for your product, honing in on the ones that matter most – in this case, gaining Steve and Diego the clarity they needed for positioning & messaging their niche product inside a nearly limitless, horizontal market.

Discussed:

  • Problems with copying the marketing that works for other SaaS companies and relying on guesswork without clearly understanding the unique value you provide to a unique set of customers.

  • How effective research allowed Stillio to quickly uncover its best customers and develop a more focused, effective messaging strategy with clear, practical outputs. 

  • Being open to seeking out external expertise to help guide you to a more customer-centric approach quicker - especially when the skillset is missing internally.
