Currently launching Train True, fitness coaching app

I build the product, the offer and the funnel, then I get the numbers.

About

Started with stories.Stayed for the numbers.

I write the story, build the funnel it travels through, and read the numbers it leaves behind.

I began behind a camera, where the job is brutal and simple: make a stranger care before they scroll away. Then came B2B SaaS, same job, except the plot twist was a data pipeline. Eight-plus years on, I still treat every page, ad and onboarding email as a very short film with one ending: someone says yes.

At Ksolves I started with technical scripts and ended up running go-to-market for DFM Manager: roughly 25% lower CAC, a 20% conversion lift, 75 enterprise pipeline signups. Now I lead Gursar Digital and the product, GTM and delivery behind Train True, because apparently I enjoy building the thing and selling it.

A funnel is just a story with a measurable ending.

Case study

Train True, fitness coaching app

Read the Train True case study
  1. 01

    The problem

    A fitness coach wanted marketing to start immediately, but the native app couldn't ship for about five months. That left nothing for a lead to try and nothing to keep clients engaged.

  2. 02

    The move

    Ship a free web app first, and start marketing the day it goes live. The full native app follows later.

  3. 03

    The goal

    Every paying client has to come from our marketing, and clients from the coach's existing contacts don't count. That rule makes attribution non-negotiable: every enquiry carries a recorded source, so every client is traceable to our work.

Positioning

Personal brandThe appOne funnel

Two tracks, one funnel: the coach's personal brand (philosophy and mindset, mostly organic) and the app (organic first, paid ads for part of the volume). Growing one does not depend on the other. Claims stay at training and lifestyle guidance, with no medical promises until legal review.

The offer

Free

Free app

  • The app is free: check-in and check-out, training plans, meal plans, calendar, streaks and progress photos.
Paid

Paid coaching package

  • A paid coaching package is sold through our sales conversation and delivered by the coach.

Most marketers own one link of the growth chain. I own all of it.

Offer, message, channel, conversion, activation and retention, plus the product decisions behind them.

My background is filmmaking and scriptwriting, so I write copy that holds attention. My founder instinct means I treat every channel as something that must pay back.

Every stage has an owner, a metric and a decision it drives. Pick one.

Oct 2023 to Mar 2026

Alongside the scriptwriting remit, I owned end-to-end marketing and go-to-market for DFM Manager, an enterprise SaaS product.

The funnel got bigger and cheaper at the same time. More traffic became signups, signups activated, and activation became live enterprise accounts, while cost per acquisition fell.
