We thought we were doing everything right until we got in touch with SignUp Academy. We were just stumbling beginners, and that's when having someone to bounce ideas off of becomes really valuable. We've been at it for a while - we started in 2017 - but the biggest leap forward actually happened after connecting with Andreas and SignUp Academy.
