16 Years of ROI Positive Experimentation Programs in 90 Days

Since 2007, I have dedicated my life to researching, building, and implementing processes for triple-digit growth in B2B startups. I focused on consulting and fractional executive work to have a laboratory for testing strategies across 242 clients. 

In that time, I have been fortunate to work with the fastest growing unicorn startups in the world. I databased insights, analyzed processes and team behavior, and started enough cross functional growth teams from scratch to know how to help them skip the steep learning curve. 

It pains me to say that I have messed up every way you can possibly imagine (and some you can't). Learning from these experiences allows me to guide startups through avoiding all the pitfalls. 

Whether you are a veteran of the startup world or a new founder willing to grind, please feel free to connect. Let me know what you are working on. I'm happy to provide guidance and maybe it makes sense for us to work together.

Software Development Program Director

Digital marketing has become more and more complex over time, but extremely powerful with the right plan.  There are so many options to reach customers, but what works for one company may or may not work for another.  So how do you simplify marketing?

I've lead digital marketing for teams at Google, BMC Software, Clean the World, Outback, and technology startups. In most cases, I help these teams simplify marketing across channels like SEO, UX, email, CRO, customer analytics, and inbound marketing that drive growth.  

All of this starts with audits and the creation of a Roadmap.  Feel free to reach out to me at johnpaul@clicklaboratory.com or visit my site at www.clicklaboratory.com.
