How a Bug Skyrocketed Conversions & Led to 3Million ARR - Cris Villar @Landbot
May 25, 2021 Season 1 Episode 16
Todd Chambers

For this episode, we sit down with Cris Villar. Cris is the Co-Founder and VP of Customer Success at Landbot, a product that transforms your website into a Conversational Experience to increase engagement and conversion rates. 

I was amazed to learn that  Landbot was born out of a product bug...  

... A bug that skyrocketed conversions from 5% to 27%! 

It’s easy to look at successful companies and think their success was linear and without serious setbacks.  The reality is that many companies have limited resources, pivot and get punched in the face… daily.  But the ones still standing get back up and keep going. 

Who knows, a product bug can lead to an incredible insight! 

Often times, the obstacle is the way.  That was certainly the case for Landbot. 

In this episode, you will learn: 

- How to leverage free platforms like Product Hunt to accelerate growth 

- The importance of positioning and how to approach it 

- Outbound sales mistakes and why “supporting is the new selling” 

- Why Landbot are dedicating 70% of their resources on activation and why you should be too

- And the challenge of time management in the retention economy & advice to tackle it.
