Our new mastermind group for B2B Sales & Marketing leaders is launching this week.
Hi there —
Hey it’s Ryan Allis. Hello from Austin, TX.
After 18 months of scaling SaasRise to 500 members (all SaaS CEOs and Founders), this week we are launching GrowthRise, the mastermind community for B2B Sales & Marketing Leaders.
GrowthRise is a mastermind community for all the revenue-facing leaders inside a B2B company. Here we’re focused on the full revenue lifecycle from awareness to acquisition to expansion.
SaasRise = For SaaS CEOs & Founders
GrowthRise = For B2B Sales & Marketing Leaders
So send your CMO, CRO, Head of Marketing, Head of Growth, Head of Sales (or even your growth-focused founder) – and we’ll take good care of them.
This is an inner circle – just for B2B Sales & Marketing Leaders who are focused on rapid growth and building predictable revenue machines. — where we help each other grow faster.
» Apply to join us today by Tuesday, March 11
All your revenue-focused teams working together to scale rapidly. That’s what we’ll help train you and your team how to do through our community and masterminds.
Why Did We Start GrowthRise?
We wanted to build a community that was pushing the boundaries and on the leading edge of AI-driven digital sales and marketing, from ABM list building to outbound and paid ads that make your brand omnipresent within your ICP – to scaling up your SDR, AE, and CSM teams to build a revenue powerhouse and pass that $10M, $100M, and even $1B revenue milestone.
I’m a huge fan of Napoleon Hill’s business mastermind concept.
I’ve seen SaasRise grow rapidly from 0 to 500 members over the last 18 months — and I’ve witnessed firsthand just how powerful a community of experienced peers is in helping a company implement the latest revenue growth techniques.
I see the power of niche mastermind communities to spread critical knowledge and expand your business growth.
Before founding GrowthRise and SaasRise, I was the CEO and co-founder of an email marketing software company called iContact for ten years.
I founded iContact while in college at UNC-Chapel Hill in 2002. We were one of the first SaaS email marketing platforms in the world. Over the next ten years, we built iContact to $50M+ in annual revenues, 300 employees, and 70,000 paying customers. We scaled up to a 75 person sales, marketing, and success team.
It was quite a ride. We exited iContact in 2012 for $169 million to a public company.
After that I did a two year MBA at Harvard Business School as I wanted to learn how just how to be an entrepreneur but how to scale larger companies. Now, over the last decade I’ve been coaching CEOs and helping B2B firms scale up revenue from $5M to $200M in ARR.
Today, I'm 40 and a dad living in Austin with my family. And I'm focused professionally on building mastermind communities that help companies grow like SaasRise and now GrowthRise.
At iContact we were constantly innovating with our GTM approach – and we acquired 70,000 customers because of our inner circle of sales and marketing experts who helped us dominate our niche.
Because of what I went through in the process of building iContact and SaasRise, I knew a community like this was needed.
If you’re wanting to grow quickly – you need to be using the latest GTM and RevOps strategies for outbound, inbound, content creation, profitable paid ads, and sales and success team structure and scaling. It’s as simple as that.
And that’s why this week we are launching GrowthRise.
Who's Invited to Join GrowthRise?
All B2B Sales & Marketing Leaders (including growth focused-founders) are invited to join.
We don’t do B2C here – just B2B sales and marketing.
My companies have done over $600M in online sales so far → all because of great products and great teams combined with great sales and marketing.
How we’ve done it is by surrounding ourselves with great peer marketing leaders who always keep us on the leading edge.
To keep my knowledge fresh, I created and show up weekly to this GrowthRise mastermind.
And I’ve recruited some of the best revenue leaders and marketers out there into GrowthRise to help each other grow.
Now you can apply to join us too.
Inside, you’ll find some of the most talented B2B marketers and sales leaders in the world, sharing their secrets and best scaling systems and processes techniques privately.
I wanted to form a group of sales heads, marketing leaders and growth experts who could support each other in achieving one thing: faster revenue growth.
I decided to build a community of CROs, Heads of Sales, CMOs, Heads of Marketing, Heads of Growth, Success Leaders, and even Growth-focused founders who would support each other through the unique process of growing and scaling their revenues – and the unique mental and health challenges that come along with being a GTM leader.
That's why I've built this community: To create a growth mastermind community you can turn to when making the key growth decisions.
A community that saves you a lot of time and a lot of money as you go about staying on the edge of what works.
When you join GrowthRise you’ll have immediate access to the entire community and all of our growth resources. You'll see all the posts, forums, past webinars, Slack group, WhatsApp channel, and our member directory.
Plus, you'll be invited to join our optional weekly peer masterminds designed to help you grow faster and solve the challenges you’re currently facing.
So if you're committed (yes, actually committed) to your success and are willing to show up to support your fellow community members, come join us.
It takes about 90 seconds to apply…
With one small action forward by applying right now, your path to faster predictable revenue growth begins. Let’s go.
High five from Austin TX.
Carpe diem and I’ll see you inside.
So send your Sales & Marketing leaders to join us at www.growthrise.com and we'll take good care of them!
All the best,
Ryan Allis
CEO & Founder
