Retention and Recurring-Revenue Consultant
10 articles filed · credit repair operations only
Marcus advises credit-repair business owners and the GHL agencies that serve them on the unglamorous side of growth: keeping clients enrolled and paying past month three. A former SaaS churn analyst, he reverse-engineers cancellation triggers and builds the score-milestone texts, progress updates, and win-back flows that protect monthly recurring revenue without ever overpromising a result. He is allergic to hype and partial to dunning logic.
