Hack the Growth! Growth Hacking in UXPin<\/h2>\n

In his famous blog post Startup = Growth<\/a>, Paul Graham, founder of Y Combinator, said: “A startup is a company designed to grow fast.”<\/strong>. Planing and executing a growth strategy is the straight way to business haven – explains mr Graham and damn… I couldn’t agree more.<\/p>\n

Creating a product is a constant endeavor to please current customers and conquer the hearts and minds of new people. It should be planned, precisely executed, and measured. It’s a non-stop job. You just can’t have a rest for five minutes. It’s a race.<\/p>\n

“A company that grows at 1% a week will grow 1.7x a year, whereas a company that grows at 5% a week will grow 12.6x. A company making $1000 a month (a typical number early in YC) and growing at 1% a week will 4 years later be making $7900 a month, which is less than a good programmer makes in salary in Silicon Valley. A startup that grows at 5% a week will in 4 years be making $25 million a month.” \/Paul Graham<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

At UXPin<\/strong>, inspired by our great advisors<\/a>, we measure and plan our growth strategy per week. We try to keep our growth rate in sales high, so we precisely plan our marketing strategy (90% of which is to create meaningful content for all of you!) and constantly improve our product – introducing new features, or improving existing – almost every week. We also rely on robust analytics and metrics tracking to understand our performance; for SaaS companies like ours, platforms like Baremetrics<\/a> help us monitor key revenue metrics and optimize our subscription growth strategy.<\/p>\n

Does it work?<\/p>\n

Yes!<\/strong> Since we’ve reached the traction, back in August 2012, our average weekly growth of sales is 7%<\/strong>! We’re keeping our growth rate healthy (around 5% weekly is usually considered awesome for SaaS companies) and we’ve just nailed our weekly record of sales.<\/p>\n

Last week we’ve reached almost 8% of weekly growth and we’ve exceeded our former record of sales by 41%!<\/p>\n
