💰 How To Save $19,200 On Tech This Year?
I've found most CRMs reward growth by… raising your price. Every new user is an extra $1k/yr! Those 3,000 new leads you got from that new webinar? That'll be an extra $5k/yr! Want a basic feature? That’s gated behind a $15,000/yr plan upgrade.
Well, Unlimited crm does the opposite:
✅ $297/mo flat – no per-user or contact limits
✅ All (non AI) features unlocked & included, always
✅ Free 1-on-1 migration onboarding calls + 24/7 human chat
It replaces $19,200/year worth of tools for just $297/mo and never increases your platform costs, no matter how big you get.

🚀 This Week's Growth Hack:
🍋 Market Like THIS Lemonade Stand!
It’s officially summer in the suburbs. That time of year when kids swarm the sidewalks like little entrepreneurs and the lemonade stands start popping up like AI startups after everyone learns the term “ChatGPT” …
Last week, I was walking through the neighborhood when I stumbled on a classic stand, run by a kid named Tucker. I asked, “How much for a cup?” and instead of quoting a price, he just pointed to a sign that read:
👉 “Pay What You Want!”
I loved the hustle, so I handed him a five. But the real market juice came after (see what I did there?). I asked him how much he makes doing this, and his answer floored me: $250 a day.
Then I grilled him on how he does it.
Here’s how he’s pulling it off & you can too:
🧃 1. The “Pay What You Want” Pricing Psychology
Tucker said some people give just 50 cents, and that’s fine because he’s got change ready. But most folks drop $5 or even $10. Why? Because that’s the smallest bill they have and they want to support the hustle. And when you let people choose what to pay, you actually tap into their generosity. Use It Like This:
Marketing Agency: Offer a “Pay What You Want” audit. Let businesses pay whatever they feel the audit was worth. It lowers the barrier to entry and builds goodwill.
SaaS Business: Offer a “name your price” trial upgrade. Some users will underpay, but others will happily pay more to support great software.
E-commerce Brands:
Run a “Pay What You Want” weekend for samples or low-cost accessories.
Offer it on end-of-season clearance stock.
Use it as a lead-gen tactic: pay what you want for the first item, full price after.
🧃 2. Put a Toddler in the Chair
Tucker always has a kid under 5 sitting next to him. Doesn’t matter if it’s his cousin, neighbor, or baby brother. He says people stop just to say “Aww, look at that cute kid.” And once they’re stopped, it’s easy to sell “pay-what-you-want” lemonade. Use It Like This:
Marketing Agency: Show behind-the-scenes of your youngest team member (intern, junior hire, even pets!) to humanize your brand and draw engagement.
SaaS Business: Add a human “face” to your onboarding — like a real person doing walkthroughs instead of robot-like videos. The more “real” it feels, the more users engage.
E-commerce Brands:
Use user-generated content from families or kids to soften your ads.
Show your product in home/family settings, think cozy, human vibes.
Leverage adorable micro-influencers (yup, baby influencers are a thing).
🧃 3. Set Up Near a Stop Sign
Tucker puts his table at an intersection where cars have to stop, his is literally next to stop sign. That pause gives drivers a moment to notice, smile, and pull over. He’s turning traffic into customers with zero ad spend. Use It Like This:
Marketing Agency: Place retargeting ads at high-intent digital “stop signs”… like after someone visits your pricing page but bounces.
SaaS Business: Use exit-intent popups or follow-up emails when someone hits the “pause” point in your funnel (like trial signup but no onboarding).
E-commerce Brands:
Add product recommendations right before checkout, that’s your digital stop sign.
Run pop-ups for offers when users hover toward the exit.
Use influencer shoutouts timed around key “stopping points” in your customer’s day, like 8 AM coffee scroll or 9 PM wind down.
The Takeaway:
Tucker might be 9 years old, but he’s running one of the most optimized sales funnels I’ve seen this year. Pricing psychology, emotional marketing, and stop-sign placement? That’s MBA-level lemonade selling. 🍋
