This Simple Free Trial Strategy Converted 60% of Users Into Paying Customers
Sometimes the only thing standing between a "maybe" and a "yes" is experience. When buyers hesitate, especially in tech, it's often not about price. It's about uncertainty: The prospect is likely asking themselves, "Will this really work for me?"
📈 Case Study: Turning Trial Users Into Long-Term Revenue
A software company came to us with a challenge: they had a strong product and solid traffic, but low conversions. Leads loved the idea, but weren't pulling the trigger.
