Some of the most valuable lessons I learned from @clairesuellen & @ggiiaa were helpful processes and ways to advocate for customer-driven work when I didnโ€™t have managers or mentors to pass on such knowledge. Forget the Funnel is a resource I come back to again and again whenever I have an inkling of a marketing question, the content is always quality, and Gia & Claire are super generous people. Marketing & growth frameworks and tactics are empty without customer insights โ€” and FTF is one of very few resources dedicated to this approach.
Claire Suellentrop
@lethargarian thanks for being part of FTF from the very beginning! You've been an invaluable contributor to what we're building, and it's humbling to hear that FTF has been helpful. ๐Ÿ’–

@lethargarian omg seriously, what Claire said. Thank you so much for being an early believer.
Camille Ricketts
I was so honored to be a guest on the show and was blown away by the thoughtful, specific, and tactical nature of the questions asked. Now I'm a regular listener and have learned so much. Could not recommend more.
Georgiana Laudi
@camillericketts wow thank you so much Camille, and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!!

Thank you @clairesuellen and @ggiiaa for your previous Forget the Funnel workshops (and books and consulting - I refer to them weekly). I signed up for the new Forget the Funnel membership program this morning. Equal parts resource library, workshop series, and empathetic community, Forget the Funnel is invaluable for growth-minded SaaS marketers. The โ€œempathetic communityโ€ part is huge. Whether youโ€™re leading a marketing team or you *are* the team, SaaS marketing is very hard work. The tasks are endless. Thereโ€™s always something new to learn, try, test, etc. It can also be isolating, as some of the most important work isn't highly visible. (Analysis, customer research, writing, planning, etc). And because marketing requires creativity, it can often feel personal, even as it's necessarily driven by metrics and results. But the wins are everything. With Forget the Funnel, those wins become more systematic and consistent, because they're based on first principles of customer research and listening. Finally, Iโ€™ve discovered some of my favorite writers, podcasters, and marketing leaders through Forget the Funnel workshops and their social feeds. The free membership is generous, with hundreds of tools, interviews, and resources on SaaS growth. Sign up today!

Itโ€™s been awesome watching FTF start out and become an incredible resource for marketers and founders alike and itโ€™s amazing to see it evolve and become a full fledged community and learning platform. Claire and Gia are both one of the best marketers and amazing humans Iโ€™ve known and so proud to be a small part of this community theyโ€™ve built. Highly recommend the program to polish your skills or learn the ropes. Thereโ€™s a lot of guru and marketing bros and bad advice out there when it comes to marketing because everyone thinks they can do it and everyone wants to look smart and sound smart for the sake of internet fame. Few have been there done that and know how to create frameworks and share that with others. FTF is THAT place where you get no bullshit great advice and learnings without the chest thumping. Do yourself a favour and signup ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿพ
Georgiana Laudi
WOW @kamilrextin thank you!! You've played a big role! Thanks so much for being part of the ride so far ๐Ÿ™Œ
Claire Suellentrop
@kamilrextin HUGS. Thank *you* for sharing your own wisdom (with zero chest-thumping ๐Ÿ˜‚) on FTF! ๐Ÿ’–
Shanelle Mullin
Y'all, I could not be more excited about this. It's difficult to find educational marketing resources online, especially when you're well into your career. There's no one I'd trust more to teach me SaaS growth than Gia and Claire. I can't wait to register for this. Congratulations and thank you for making such amazing content!
Claire Suellentrop
@shanelle_mullin This means a TON, thank you so much! Would be an absolute honor to welcome you as a Pro member. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿค—
Georgiana Laudi
@shanelle_mullin @clairesuellen hear hear, Shanelle, we'd be lucky to have you.
Jordan Skole
I've worked with Claire and Gia directly and can say 100% that they know what they are talking about. I can't think of a better place to access their knowledge, and their curation of the best knowledge that exists out other than hiring them directly!
Georgiana Laudi
Thank you @jordanskole ๐Ÿ™ that means so much!
Claire Suellentrop
@jordanskole getting to work with you = one of my most favorite projects of all time! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’›
Keith Perhac
Forget the Funnel is one of the smartest and most effective methodologies to get insight into how your customers think, and what makes them convert. If you're in SaaS, you owe it to yourself to check out this amazing new update that @ggiiaa and @ClaireSuellen have put together.
Claire Suellentrop
@harisenbon79 Thank *so* much for the kind words + vote of confidence, Keith! ๐Ÿ™
Kevan Lee
Wow, the comments here are ๐Ÿ”ฅ! Echoing what others have said: Forget the Funnel is one of the very best ways to learn SaaS growth principles. This stuff can seem daunting to figure out -- @clairesuellen & @ggiiaa are godsends and what they've created here is must-read, must-join, must-follow!
Claire Suellentrop
@kevanlee re: comments, honestly we've been BLOWN AWAY. ๐Ÿคฏ So humbling. Thank you tons for these kind words of support, and for sharing *your* wisdom on FTF! ๐Ÿ™
Georgiana Laudi
@kevanlee Thank you so much Kevan! ๐Ÿ’›
Kevin McGrath
I bought the Pro Membership and have been working through the Customer Led Growth Program for a few weeks now. Would highly recommend it to any founders who aren't from a marketing background - really detailed lessons and videos.
Georgiana Laudi
@mrkevmcg Ack thank you so much for being among our earliest members Kevin! So glad you're finding it valuable
Claire Suellentrop
@mrkevmcg Thanks so much, Kevin! I'm suuuper eager to see what you learn from your target audience using the program material. Big things on the horizon for Beacon ๐Ÿค—
Ken Savage
Congrats on the launch @ggiiaa and @clairesuellen I'll sign up for a free membership and check it out.
Claire Suellentrop
@kensavage Awesome! Welcome, Ken! ๐Ÿ‘‹
Nandini Jammi
Echoing a lot of other folks in here. Forget The Funnel is not just a resource, but a community for those working as solo marketers or in small teams. I remember I was scrounging for advice that I could implement as a solo marketer until Forget the Funnel came on the scene. Their resources are tailor-made for hands-on SaaS marketers and I guarantee they'll have answers to whatever you're struggling with.
Claire Suellentrop
@nandoodles It has been *incredible* seeing you soar and tackle such critical work in SaaS & tech over the past several years. Humbling to hear that FTF helped in even some small way. ๐Ÿ’–
Georgiana Laudi
@nandoodles Echoing Claire here, thanks so much for all that YOU do.
Stefanie Grieser
Look at all the love for Gia & Claire & Forget The Funnel! Shows how much you've both done for the saas marketing community. Jumping on the bandwagon to say these two have created something truly special!
Georgiana Laudi
@smgrieser your support means a TON Stef, thank youuu ๐Ÿ’™
Bruno Winck
@clairesuellen and @gia sit on a treasure of knowledge they accumulated from hundreds of interviews, and years of experience. Now they share it with you in a course and forums, q&a, office hours like coworking time. For me it became engineering instead of guessing.
Georgiana Laudi
@brunowinck thanks for sharing the ride with us Bruno!!
Claire Suellentrop
@brunowinck So glad to have you as a member, Bruno! ๐Ÿ™
Louis Grenier
Here's one word that comes to mind when thinking about @clairesuellen and @ggiiaa: generosity. They've been giving giving giving to the SaaS community for years. If you work in SaaS, do check them out, you won't regret it.
Georgiana Laudi
@louisslices Wow thank you Louis ๐Ÿ™ you've played no small role.
Claire Suellentrop
@louisslices generosity is the antithesis of marketing bullshit, right? :) Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom on Forget The Funnel multiple times now. ๐Ÿ’›
Val Geisler
@clairesuellen @ggiiaa @louisslices Good lord I couldn't agree more, Louis.
Len Markidan
@clairesuellen @ggiiaa @louisslices I was coming here to write pretty much the same thing, but since Louis captured it so perfectly, I'll just add my echo to this. An emphatic +1.
Claire Suellentrop
@lenmarkidan thanks so, so much.๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ™ We recommend *your* FTF workshop, specifically, to our members all. the. time. Thank you SO much for being along for the ride and sharing your wisdom!
Amy Ellis
This is going to be an amazing resource for growth leaders looking to skip a few of the most common mistakes startups make.
Georgiana Laudi
@amy_e_ellis you've been there since day one (...I mean that literally, I'm pretty sure you were our first guest!) your support means everything ๐Ÿ’–
Amy Ellis
@ggiiaa you and @clairesuellen are just incredible resources for growth leaders and really anyone building their SaaS marketing knowledge base. I'm so excited to see something like this out there for people looking to learn without living through the often painful learning experiences typically required to get there.
Claire Suellentrop
@amy_e_ellis Yup, @ggiiaa's right - you were our very *first* guest! Thanks for being part of this from the beginning! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›
Jane Portman
Congrats FTF team on shaping this amazing new format. It's a blast ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Stuart Balcombe
If there are 2 people I trust when it comes to SaaS marketing its @clairesuellen and @ggiiaa. They've led marketing at top companies, taught everything they know for years for free at Forget the Funnel, and have just generally been incredibly supportive people. When they first announced the Pro membership for Forget the Funnel not too long ago I didn't think twice and became a customer on the spot. From the Customer Led Course materials, to the supportive community and regular group sessions with Claire and Gia a Forget the Funnel membership is a MUST HAVE for any marketer tasked with driving sustainable growth. This isn't a course from a "guru". Claire and Gia live and breath marketing that works every day and are truly invested in making others successful. I feel lucky to know and learn from them every day!
Claire Suellentrop
@stub91 It's such an honor to have you as one of our very first Pro members. THANK YOU for your kind words here, your confidence in us, and for being an invaluable part of FTF! ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ’›

Claire Atkin
Claire and Gia's videos educated me AND my clients. They made it so much easier to get buy-in, get everyone up to speed, and get access to budget. Now, I have clients who contact me about forget the funnel videos they've watched and want to talk about. Incredible, it's like they do my sales for me.
Claire Suellentrop
@claire_atkin It's been incredible watching you soar in your career over these past few years. SO humbling to hear that FTF was able to help.๐Ÿ’–
Georgiana Laudi
@claire_atkin so so glad it's helped you the way it has. Thank you for being an early believer ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—
Ramli John
There are marketers out there who you know are full of sh*t... @ggiiaa and @clairesuellen are not one of them. They are legit and know marketing inside and out. But, don't take my word for it. Just watch 10 min of one of their live Q&A and you'll find yourself jotting notes and nodding your head along โ€“ https://www.forgetthefunnel.com/... Thanks, Claire and Gia! In terms of a question, where do you see FTF Memberships going? What do you have in store for it in the next year?
Claire Suellentrop
@ramlijohn You're awesome and you KNOW this goes both ways. ๐Ÿค— Re: where we see FTF Memberships going, fantastic question. Unsurprisingly, we're 'drinking our own champagne' and leaning *heavily* on what we learn from our current Free and Pro members to inform how memberships evolve. At this stage, we're meeting for a 1:1 call with EVERY person who joins the Pro membership -- and those have been eye-opening. Our vision is to create a more tailored, relevant experience for members based on their role -- so whether you're a SaaS founder, a marketer, a consultant, or a product leader, you're getting content and support that are relevant to your unique situation and challenges. We'd also like to layer on more avenues to help our members succeed in their roles, *in addition* to the private community and Customer-Led Growth program material. This is very TBD right now because it needs to be informed by our members themselves, and how they define what's valuable -- but could look like 1:1 or small-group mentorship, or facilitating connections between SaaS founders <> consultants and marketers for hire, or...well, we have about a hundred other ideas. ๐Ÿš€
