The Trial Conversion Engine — Revenue Landscape

01 / The Trial Conversion Engine

You paid to get customers. Then they ghost without paying a dime.

We fix trial-to-paid conversion in 90 days, guaranteed — or we pay you $5,000.

90 Days to conversion lift — guaranteed
1 New client per month — by design

02 / The problem

They signed up. Then they disappeared.

Trial users aren't bad leads. They had the problem, they raised their hand — but they never experienced the value. So you pay twice: once to acquire them, again when they never convert.

From a recent engagement

From 0.03% to a sustained 5% trial-to-paid conversion — month over month.

What most teams get wrong

They treat trial users like new customers. They're not. They're still prospects. They don't need a product tour or a knowledge base. They need to feel the value, fast — and see why paying is the obvious next step.

What works instead

Show them what success actually looks like, and get them to one concrete outcome inside the trial window. Once a user has been through their first real win, the conversion is rarely the question. Renewal is.

03 / The 90-day sprint

Three stages. One outcome.

A fixed-price, fixed-timeline engagement. We diagnose, we build alongside your team, and we run the system against real trial users until conversion moves — or you don't pay.

/ 01

Diagnose

Days 1 — 30

We map how your best users actually convert — and identify the Golden Path every paying customer walks without knowing it.

  • Your Golden Path defined — the exact sequence that separates converters from everyone else
  • A custom scorecard against the 10 Laws of Conversion, benchmarked against real industry data
  • A prioritized fix list ranked by expected impact, ready to build against
/ 02

Build

Days 31 — 60

We install a Proof Loop alongside your team — the system that moves users to their First Value Moment and makes paying the obvious next step.

  • Models, messaging, and in-product changes designed and shipped against your fix list
  • Behavioral triggers and outreach wired to real usage signals — not calendar days
  • Baseline locked, instrumentation in place, lift becomes measurable
/ 03

Prove

Days 61 — 90

The system runs against real trial cohorts while we measure, tune, and document — so your team can run it after we leave.

  • Live performance measured against the day-1 baseline
  • Iteration on whatever isn't working until the number moves
  • Full handoff with documentation — or, if conversion isn't up, a full refund plus $5,000

04 / The guarantee

Conversion up by day 90, or every dollar back — plus $5,000.

Nobody else in this space puts the entire engagement on a clock with money on the line. We do — in writing, in the contract.

Day 30 — Off-ramp

Clear path forward, or we part ways.

If the diagnostic doesn't give you a clear, actionable plan to move the number, we part ways and refund the engagement in full. No hard feelings.

Day 90 — The bar

Conversion is up versus baseline.

Trial-to-paid conversion is up versus the baseline we documented on day 1 — measured against your own data, your own users, your own funnel.

If not — Skin in the game

Full refund + $5,000.

Every dollar of your engagement fee back, plus a $5,000 check for your time. In writing. That's how confident we are.

The price is fixed. The timeline is fixed. The outcome is the only thing that determines whether we keep your money.

05 / In practice

From 0.03% to 5%, sustained.

A B2B SaaS in the AI automation space came to us with strong signup volume and a 0.03% trial-to-paid conversion rate. Here's what changed.

The company had strong signup volume and a 0.03% trial-to-paid conversion rate. Users signed up, poked around, and disappeared. The team had been treating it as a messaging problem.

The first thing the diagnostic revealed: they were on the wrong model entirely. Their product wasn't suited to freemium — users had no urgency, no deadline, no clear moment when paying became the obvious next step. We moved them to a time-bound 14-day free trial. The right model depends on the diagnostic — sometimes that's a time-bound trial, sometimes it's tightening freemium limits, sometimes it's a reverse trial. Whatever the data says.

Then we built everything around one outcome. Four behavioral user profiles based on real usage. Twenty-eight outreach touchpoints triggered by behavior, not time. A structured path driving every trial user toward a single first win — the one that almost always led to a conversion.

A system, not a campaign — running automatically, month over month.

06 / Why us

We only win when you win.

Most consultants charge a retainer whether the number moves or not. We don't. Three things make this work — and make us different.

/ 01

The contract is the marketing.

Fixed price, fixed timeline, money-back guarantee with a $5,000 penalty on top. The promise isn't a brochure line — it's the legal terms of the engagement. If we don't move the number, you don't pay — and we cut you a $5,000 check on top.

/ 02

You get the founder, not a pod.

You aren't handed to a junior or managed through a project coordinator. The same person you meet on the discovery call runs the engagement, in the work, until day 90.

/ 03

One client per month.

By design. It's the only way to give every engagement the depth required to actually move conversion inside 90 days. It also means the calendar runs out — fast.

07 / The math

What a lift actually pays you.

Move the sliders to your reality. The math runs against the trial pool you already have, the deal size you already book, the baseline you already know.

From users you're already paying to acquire. No additional traffic. No additional spend.

Your real numbers will be different. The math we run on your discovery call uses your actual baseline, your actual ACV, your actual trial volume — not sliders.

08 / Qualification

We don't work with everyone.

We take on one new client per month. That's a deliberate choice — it's the only way to give each engagement the depth it requires. The system only works when it's applied to the right problem.

  • You're a B2B SaaS with a free trial or freemium model that isn't converting
  • You have 250+ trial signups per month — enough volume to measure and move the number inside 90 days
  • Your conversion rate is below 5% and you know there's real headroom
  • You have product-market fit — people pay competitors for this problem
  • You're ready to move — recently funded, or someone on your team has a mandate to fix this now

09 / Who does the work

Every engagement, personally.

Michael has spent 14 years building activation and post-sales revenue systems as a CS leader in EdTech and SaaS. He knows firsthand the frustration of trying to get customers across the paywall — the guesswork, the finger-pointing, the slow-moving experiments that never quite stick.

He started Revenue Landscape to productize those lessons into a system that adapts to any company and produces measurable lift, fast.

He works every engagement personally. When you book a call, you're meeting with him. He stays on the work until day 90.
