01 · Context

Business Situation

The company relied heavily on manual founder-led follow-up across trial sign-ups and onboarding conversations. Customer acquisition costs had increased to levels that were difficult to sustain relative to average first-year contract value, while conversion performance across the acquisition funnel remained inconsistent. The leadership team needed clearer visibility into funnel friction, onboarding inefficiencies, and paid acquisition effectiveness before scaling further.

02 · The work

What the Consultant Did

An independent growth consultant conducted a conversion-rate optimisation and acquisition funnel review across landing pages, sign-up flows, onboarding journeys, and lead follow-up processes. The engagement included A/B testing, funnel simplification, HubSpot automation implementation, onboarding workflow redesign, and optimisation of paid acquisition campaigns based on conversion quality and spend efficiency. Particular attention was given to reducing manual founder involvement in repetitive follow-up activity while improving conversion consistency across the funnel.

03 · The shift

What Changed

The revised acquisition structure improved landing-page conversion rates, reduced inefficient advertising spend, and created a more scalable onboarding and lead-nurture process for trial users. The automation workflows also reduced manual operational dependency on the founding team during the customer acquisition process.
