Denis Shatalin's Linkedin Analytics

I was working as a Research Analyst at EY, until one day I realized that corporate life isn't for me. I left to launch businesses. The first one was a jewelry store. Launched a cool collection, but co-founding jeweler received an offer for a higher-paid role. I couldn't get proper traffic and shut this one down (could've kept going). Next, I started dropshipping backpacks. My friend and I created one FB ad campaign after another and kept getting them banned. Gave it another shot with dropshipping skincare, but the 7th ban was permanent and we gave up on it. I knew one day I would make things work, and with 2 other friends, I started an ecom store selling dog toys. We were overwhelmed with logistical hustle. And with friends handling full-time jobs, we slowly put it to an end. 8 months later I randomly went through Excel and it turned out we made 1,7X return on every $1 spent. It was not that obvious because it took 4 months for all units to sell. If only we continued, we could've just 100X'd the same model. But, I was excited about IT startups and started building different products with no code. I made every mistake possible, from going too broad to building every feature request. Back then I was afraid to charge $20 for a lifetime deal and got (begged) people in with discounts. Fun times. A few products and countless mistakes later, my accountability platform got initial sales. Other founders started asking me for advice, as for the moment I was a bit further. My guidance got them better results than I had myself, they shared amazing feedback and I loved it. That's how I found out I want to coach founders for a living. Today I have created Go-To-Market Strategies and campaigns for over 100 B2B SaaS startups. My outbound LinkedIn campaign helped an AI Property startup close an 8-figure real estate deal with the #1 Investment Fund in Dubai. By now I've generated $55M in new revenue and in 2023 my outbound campaigns booked startups 1500 product demos. We're now averaging 22 applications a week for SaaS Camp from LinkedIn, cold email, and SEO. So I am specializing in solving 2 problems I solved for myself: A) Helping B2B SaaS startups book more product demos B) Helping them increase their close rate So if you're a B2B SaaS founder scaling through product demos and want to solve these 2, feel free to tell me about your case and I'll share what I feel you're missing. If you'd like to hear the whole story (and what other expensive mistakes I made) - I covered them in this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/6QEVRjVMlsU?si=ErBhG_O4mjpN_Ljd
