Meet Dana I have been in the world of personal development for 9+ years, was that person that tried talk-therapy multiple times only to never actually feel like I made any real lasting change. After reconditioning my nervous system through de-conditioning and somatic therapies, I rarely ever feel anxiety anymore (it used to be crippling for me), my hormone levels have improved across the board, I sleep better, I learn faster, I experience stress on a weekly basis instead of daily (or hourly) ... the list goes on. I knew I needed to educate more people about how to harness the power of nervous system regulation.

I've been building and launching brands online since Y2K was a thing. In 2009, I started working with tech startups and SaaS companies and never looked back.Because SaaS lives and dies by the value delivered to customers — and retention over time — marketing's impact on revenue extends far beyond the more traditional acquisition focus. In SaaS, marketing (whether you call it that or not) has a huge role to play, and a critical seat at the table. To me, that makes marketing & CX in tech one of the most innovative, interesting, and increasingly in-demand areas of specialization.It was while leading Marketing for Unbounce (a largely marketing-led SaaS) that I discovered customer experience mapping. One where the entire relationship with customers — from experiencing the problem to engagement and expansion — is measured notbased on transactional moments and business metrics, but instead on customer’s success milestones.I realized that if I could operationalize the process of helping customers reach their goals, we'd reach ours. And we did. The following year, we grew revenue nearly 900%.Since then, I've worked with SaaS teams like Sprout Social, Appcues and dozens more to take customer insights and turn them into revenue-generating outcomes. https://www.forgetthefunnel.com https://www.forgetthefunnel.com/customer-led-growth/book Twitter @ggiiaa https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgianalaudi/ Request feedback on just about anything related to your business, marketing material, product designs, product packaging, almost anything.
