In this short solo episode, Ryan shares a penny-drop moment that completely changed how Rocket SaaS runs LinkedIn ads — and explains why most B2B SaaS teams are unknowingly setting their campaigns up to fail. Despite good creatives, strong landing pages, and solid offers, one overlooked decision consistently prevents results. Ryan breaks down the thinking shift that unlocked far better performance, more consistent visibility, and stronger brand recall — without increasing ad spend.

Takeaways:

• Most LinkedIn ad failures aren’t creative problems
• Visibility beats clever ads when budgets are tight
• Bigger audiences aren’t always better
• Repetition is what actually builds trust
• Budget alignment matters more than optimisation tweaks
• Simpler campaign structures often outperform complex funnels
• Small changes can dramatically improve performance

In this solo episode, Ryan shares why marketing isn’t just for lead generation — it’s the core driver for aligning sales, hiring, and customer success. He reveals how marketing can play a pivotal role in recruitment (without costly agencies), supporting sales through better messaging and retargeting, and reducing churn with educational content for customer success teams. Drawing on his experience at RocketSaaS, Ryan explains how marketing can elevate all functions of the business and drive scalable growth across departments.

Takeaways:

• Marketing can power hiring by running ads targeting qualified candidates
• Support sales by creating sleek, results-driven presentations and feeding them with engagement data
• LinkedIn retargeting ads help sales outreach feel familiar and relevant, boosting trust and conversions
• Marketing supports customer success by creating onboarding content and upsell materials
• Marketing's role is cross-functional — it should influence recruitment, sales, and customer success efforts
• Data-driven campaigns (e.g., ads + CRM) increase cross-department alignment
• A unified marketing approach makes your business look more professional and premium, allowing for higher pricing

In this solo episode, Ryan breaks down the thinking behind Rocket SaaS crossing $4m ARR and why it wasn’t driven by one tactic, one tool, or one lucky break. Instead, it came from a set of compounding decisions made over time, many of which SaaS founders underestimate or delay for too long. Ryan reflects on the biggest shifts that unlocked momentum, what changed in the last 18 months, and why most SaaS teams stay stuck despite “doing marketing.” If you’re trying to scale past a plateau, this episode will challenge how you think about growth.

Takeaways:

• Growth doesn’t come from one silver bullet
• Momentum is created by compounding fundamentals
• Consistency beats intensity every time
• Narrow focus unlocks disproportionate returns
• Brand trust is built long before buyers are “ready”
• Most SaaS teams quit too early on the things that work
• Personal credibility is becoming a serious growth lever
