I audited a B2B SaaS campaign burning $15K/month.
Problem?
They were targeting "everyone"
Fix:
1. Created 4 distinct buyer personas
2. Crafted micro-targeted messaging
Result:
Reduced ad spend by 40%
Increased conversions by 67%
Specificity prints money!

Quick security tip for small business owners who hate tech jargon:
Think your business is "too small" to need 2FA?
My smallest client ($50K/yr revenue) just avoided a $15K fraud attempt because of it.
That's like... 3K cups of coffee they didn't lose โ
Food for thought.
I asked #ChatGPT the following: What are your top 3 tips for a ____ walking through downtown Berlin on a Thursday at 2am?
