Author Description

Nine out of ten tech startups fail because they lack traction. Visits, Signups, LOIs, Demos, Trials, Revenue, Retention, and Referrals are critical KPIs to measure success. But how do you achieve the highest conversion rates for a prototype, MVP, or product with adoption, when product-market-fit is not given yet? With Creative Traction Methodology, Tommaso turns the intangible yet tremendously important topic of Growth Hacking into a structured, easy-to-run, three-step framework for startup entrepreneurs to apply. This book is a must-read for any innovator aiming to capitalize market shares. ABOUT THE AUTHOR.
