Colin Bartlett's growth lever was repeated price increases, from $10/month in 2015 to $79/month as the lowest tier.
So we had raised prices many, many times on new customers starting at $10 a month in 2015 to now $79 a month is our lowest tier plan, but we had never gone back through it’s, it was very scary to go back through and charge that to existing customers, but that was a game changer. Got rid of a lot of dead weight people that weren’t good fits big time game changer. That’s the only little, not even a hockey stick, but it’s the only bump in the graph if you look there.
I think the second or third customer, whoever paid me money, canceled during that upgrade and it hurt me. I was like, this guy believed in me at $10 a month for many, many years and now canceled, but all for the better.
Low seven figures ARR (i.e. just over $1M ARR).
