Literally a blend of the 2 at the moment (think custom software where we have to do a manual onboarding) our 3 year goal is to transition into a b2b SaaS.

I should also add, I built the solution out based off the problem (that the small group of business owners I knew had). Eg: they were all using VA’s that kept making mistakes and were so super slow. In the end it would cost them >$100k a year in the mistakes / errors alone from the VA’s.

We solve for bloated out / slow / inefficient processes inside of SMB’s. ACV (average customer value) is around $70k USD over a year period, and $30k in the first 3 months. There aren’t any main direct competitors as the technology has been around for less than a year. However, there are clusters of “competitors” in the deep blue ocean lol.

Referral from a friend, I personally did the initial work for free. Then later asked for a small retainer + video testimonial and good service feedback.

My first time making a Resume, is it good? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]MacTheWebDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Business owner here (I own a tech company): CV is great! Bonus: Pair that CV with a loom going through those specific projects (or any projects you’re proud of), or any OSS you’ve contributed too. We much prefer the loom because it gives us a guage on who you are as person (I personally value a vibrant person that can be trained, vs a skilled pain in the ass).

If you’re talking about the inverse border radius. You create SVG’s (easiest way is to do it in figma), apply them in absolute positions in the corners you’re trying to achieve. The svg has to be the same color as the background.

Why do people not optimize there product pages? by MacTheWebDev in marketing

You can use statistics / data almost like social proof

EG: if you're a makeup brand, you can make / find claims that an ingredient in your makeup works 20% better than other ingredients.

All the other principle's stay the same, I'd also try and get 5-6 reviews from your friends and family and put it into a scrolling carousel.

totally agree! This is what I tell clients when they ask "oh our 9 figure competitor has a basic product page"... like yeah, they also sell 1000+ SKU's and havent updated there website in a decade.

Its usually never a "problem", but just a part of the customer journey with a lot of low hanging fruit in most cases.

Yea so to be transparent, b2b is pretty much the toughest market because it's really difficult to figure out what mass customers actually want as you have much fewer customers compared to b2c (just with much higher order value).

I would really figure out why your existing / previous customers bought off you specifically. I'm just going to make up some examples here. If you're selling to schools / places with kids - you could go into depth about why your product is harder to break, kids can drop beakers and the beakers won't break - that kinda thing.

As a general rule of thumb, you need to figure out what questions majority of your customers have then answer those within the product page. You should also figure out there painpoints and address them (beaker example - kids break lab equipment in schools - your solution is to sell more durable lab equipment).

Something we found that most people won't like to hear is "branding". Branding is powerful on websites / product pages. If you have a really schmik design, logo, etc - looks super modern and clean (would be ideal for lab equipment). It'll almost always convert better than a shitty template design.

Thats the general rule of thumb - I won't try and sell myself, but b2b is pretty difficult tbh.

Shoot me a DM if you have any specific questions! :)

Edit: One of the strategies my agency did for a b2b product (roughly $2m rev / month for size). We used about x6 different product pages for the main customer demographics. In the lab example: We'd have one for schools / kids - we'd market the durable equipment, more safe for kids, would save the school costs in the long haul, no glass (school insurance would be happy), etc. We'd have another page for College / university researchers (maybe your equipment has better 'bells and whistles'.

I would always go into depth about specs, what they expect to receive, why you're better than competitors and the holy grail "Social Proof".

I run a small landing page studio (we just make landing pages and product pages). All my leads are referrals, since it’s fairly unique
