RevHERO Investor Update May, 2023

We are excited to provide you with our first newsletter style update on the latest developments and achievements at RevHERO. This blog will be updated monthly going forward. Over the past year, we have made significant progress towards transforming the sales prospecting and process into one that utilizes Software as a Service for full automation.

Today, we want to highlight some key milestones, introduce our exceptional leadership team, discuss our target market, address both the highlights and lowlights we have encountered along the way, and share some important Asks.

Who We Are

RevHERO empowers organizations to exceed their sales goals. We do this by eliminating monotonous and time-consuming tasks. This allows sales professionals to spend the majority of their time pitching and closing deals.

Highlights

In the past year, we have achieved significant milestones that have propelled us forward. Here are some noteworthy highlights:
  • 2022 Beta Testing: We started our journey by launching the beta testing phase, allowing us to gather valuable feedback from early adopters. This crucial step helped us refine our product and prepare for a successful market entry.
  • 2023 Version 1 Launch: Building upon the feedback received during the beta testing phase, we officially launched Version 1 of our product earlier this year. This marked a major milestone as we took our product to market, catering to the needs of both B2B and B2C clients.
  • 2023 Version 2 Launch: We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Version 2 at the end of June 2023. This release will introduce advanced analytics and tracking capabilities, empowering our clients with comprehensive insights and data-driven decision-making tools.
  • Advisors: We are proud to have a talented group of advisors supporting our growth. Stavros, our esteemed mentor, brings a wealth of general business expertise, while Brian and Ken serve as invaluable mentors in sales and technology, respectively. Their guidance and insights have been instrumental in shaping our strategies and driving our success.
  • Success Story: We are excited to share the success story of Britney Smith from iHeart Media. After implementing RevHero, our solution enabled Britney to achieve exceptional results, generating $30,000 in the first week of using our platform.
Furthermore, we have implemented an effective EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework used for managing businesses. It includes clearly defined goal setting for different time frames, and a defined management system for easy tracking and goal alignment. We are using it as our guide during our weekly leadership meetings.
At RevHero, we cater to a diverse target market.
Our solution is tailored to meet the needs of B2B, B2C, executive, and white-collar staffing agencies. We provide them with a platform to A/B test their campaigns and access a Customer Success Expert.
Inside the software are programmed Red Flag triggers that alert the Customer Success Expert if the client campaigns are not meeting expectations. The Customer Success Expert then proactively contacts the client to offer recommendations for optimizing the campaigns.
By combining our in-house proprietary tracking system and deep industry knowledge, we’re well-positioned to capture significant market share in this space.

Lowlights

While our journey has been marked by remarkable achievements, we have also encountered a few challenges along the way. Transparency is crucial, so we want to address these lowlights:
  • Original Launch Delay:Our initial launch, scheduled for June 1, faced an unexpected delay. Unfortunately, one of our lead developers encountered an unfortunate incident at a personal gathering, resulting in injuries. We take this incident seriously and prioritize the well-being of our team members. As a result, we rescheduled the launch to the end of June to ensure the developer’s recovery and maintain the quality of our product.
  • Adjusting Service Offerings: Initially, we offered copywriting as a one-time service. However, we realized that it wasn’t effectively meeting the diverse needs of our clients. To provide more value, we decided to introduce A/B testing and implemented a three-month commitment, ensuring our clients can benefit from comprehensive and data-driven marketing strategies.

Our Asks

We’d like to present some important requests:
  • Seeking Investors for Seed Round:As we continue our growth trajectory, we are actively seeking investors for our upcoming seed round. If you are interested in joining us on this exciting journey and supporting our vision, we would love to connect with you.
  • Connections to Potential Clients: We believe that strong partnerships are key to our success. If you have any connections to companies or sales teams in need of our innovative solutions, we would greatly appreciate introductions and the opportunity to explore potential collaborations.

Thank You

At this time, we want to extend a special appreciation to our talented sales engineer, Viktoria Dainiak. Her expertise, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence have played a pivotal role in our sales strategy and customer acquisition efforts. Her ability to effectively communicate the value of our solution has made a significant impact on our success. We are incredibly fortunate to have Viktoria Dainiak as a critical member of our team.

Customer Story

At RevHERO, our client’s success stories are at the heart of what we do. We are pleased to share a case study from Jeremy, CEO of Paper Jacket, a video marketing company and one of our original beta test clients. He experienced success with an $8,000 project landed within two weeks.

Paper Jacket Gets 23x Return on a Monthly Sales Spend

Problem

Jeremy, the sole salesperson in addition to being CEO, struggled to expand and create a scalable sales process. He was also overwhelmed by the time needed to prospect and do outreach manually.

RevHero Solution:

  • Full automation of lead outreach
  • Automated follow-ups across multiple channels
  • Automated meeting reminders to reduce no-shows
  • Cold target list for efficient automated prospecting

Outcome

$8,000 project in 2 weeks; 23x return on sales spend in the first month. Jeremy freed up time to focus on growth, partnerships, and innovation in the video marketing industry.

This concludes the RevHERO Investor Update for May, 2023. You can expect to see monthly updates from this point forward.
