See what changed for these businesses.

If you’re weighing a new offer, a pricing change or a different route to market, these 20 cases show how I approached similar decisions with other businesses. Explore the problem, the choices made and what changed, then see what could be relevant to you.

Explore by the commercial question
  1. Case 01

    The bolt-on that became a platform.

    People were using the free product, but few could see why they should pay. I helped the business make that next step clearer and more worthwhile.

    B2B SaaS13% to 19%Trial-to-paid conversion
  2. Case 02

    One bag, no reason to come back.

    Customers enjoyed the coffee, but the offer gave them little reason to make it part of their routine. I helped create a more natural path from a first order to a continuing relationship.

    Specialty coffee / DTC18% to 31%Repeat purchase rate
  3. Case 03

    The founder thought it was a closing problem.

    The sales team needed more time with buyers it could genuinely help. Clearer qualification shortened the sales process and kept all three reps in place.

    Mid-market B2B SaaS71 to 44 daysSales cycle
  4. Case 04

    Three years of flat revenue. A different way to sell expertise.

    Clients needed a clearer way to buy the firm’s expertise. I helped turn open-ended hourly work into a diagnostic, a defined project and continuing advisory support.

  5. Case 05

    The network that lived in two people’s phones.

    The founders’ relationships were valuable, but their time limited how far the club could grow. I helped make their judgment and membership offer usable beyond their own conversations.

  6. Case 06

    Every chair is a customer conversation.

    Customers already trusted the barbers with their hair. I helped the shop make product advice part of the service and improve the economics of its own retail line.

    Barbershop / grooming6% to 18%Visits including a retail purchase
  7. Case 07

    The book that took an artist beyond his city.

    The artist’s work deserved to reach people beyond his home city. I helped turn it into a book and a coordinated campaign that supported a wider reputation and fuller calendar.

  8. Case 08

    A studio can only hold so many mats.

    The teacher could help more people than would fit in her studio. I helped develop a course and products that let customers benefit from her expertise beyond a class in the room.

    Yoga / boutique wellnessAround €5K/monthRevenue independent of the physical room
  9. Case 09

    They judged the developer before the building.

    Investors and buyers needed more confidence in the developer before committing. I helped make its experience, capabilities and project logic easier to assess.

    Real estate development9% to 15%Investor-meeting conversion
  10. Case 10

    Trust before the first transaction.

    Serious prospects were dropping out before a transaction could begin. I helped make the verification process clearer, so a qualified counterparty had a more usable way to proceed.

    Physical commodity trading6% to 12%Qualified-counterparty close rate
  11. Case 11

    The consultancy that couldn’t sell itself.

    Prospective clients needed to understand how the firm could help them enter an unfamiliar market. I helped the website turn its expertise into a clearer reason to get in touch.

    GCC market-entry consulting1.2% to 2.8%Visitor-to-inquiry conversion
  12. Case 12

    The empty building from Monday to Thursday.

    The hotels already had rooms, meeting spaces and food to offer. I helped bring those assets together for people whose reasons to stay extended beyond a leisure weekend.

    Boutique hospitality54% to 65%Blended occupancy
  13. Case 13

    What could a clinic offer after recovery?

    Some former patients wanted support beyond recovery. I helped the clinic design an optional prevention and performance offer, alongside clearer packages and better use of existing capacity.

    Physiotherapy / sports rehabilitationAround €91K/yearRecurring membership revenue
  14. Case 14

    From €800K to over €2M ARR.

    Customers were growing, but the platform’s pricing gave the business little room to grow with them. I helped redesign pricing and expansion around how customers actually used the product.

    Vertical B2B SaaS85% to 118%Net revenue retention
  15. Case 15

    The high-performance product hidden in the catalogue.

    The manufacturer already had a product that solved a costly problem for the right buyer. I helped make that value central to its positioning and sales conversation.

    Industrial manufacturingAround 40%Increase in gross profit
  16. Case 16

    Fix the path before increasing the budget.

    The company wanted more inquiries, but the people it already reached needed a better path to becoming customers. I helped improve that path before increasing advertising spend.

    Electrical and smart-home installation€1.25M to €2.4MApproximate annual revenue
  17. Case 17

    Selling hardest to the wrong customer.

    The business could earn more from customers seeking custom work, but its marketing emphasized standard orders. I helped make the more valuable buying need clearer in its reporting, website and sales approach.

    Custom cabinetry / e-commerce€375K to €684KApproximate annual profit
  18. Case 18

    Grow the existing locations before opening the next.

    The founder’s original practice showed what was possible, but other locations needed a more repeatable way to work. I helped design the operating structure for improving the sites already in the group.

    Implementation with projected financial outcomes
  19. Case 19

    When the promise is difficult to believe.

    Prospective customers needed a more candid explanation of the offer. I helped rebuild the sales approach and follow-up so people could assess whether it suited them.

  20. Case 20

    A market entry built to hand over.

    The operator had a platform ready for its first market and needed a commercial team around it. I led the launch work and prepared the operation for a permanent CMO to take over.
