From CRM Frustrations to a 7-Figure SaaS

In this latest episode, I talk with Shruti Kapoor, the co-founder and CEO of Wingman, a SaaS product that helps sales teams get better results by providing real-time insights from every sales interaction.

Shruti was working for a fintech company in India and suddenly found herself running a sales team, but the CRM just wasn't working for them. Frustrated with the lack of good options, she and two friends decided to start their own company.

They faced some tough challenges along the way, but they found success by getting creative with customer acquisition.

They targeted online groups and communities, used SEO, content marketing, and social media to build an inbound marketing engine that drives over 90% of their revenue.

Fast forward a few years, and Wingman has grown into a multiple 7-figure ARR business, which was recently acquired.

In this episode, you'll hear all about:

  • The struggles and challenges the co-founders faced while starting and building their SaaS business

  • How they started getting customers after failing to close a single sale from 40 meetings with prospective customers

  • Their creative approach to customer acquisition and how they used inbound marketing to drive growth.

I hope you enjoy it.
