The problem

Your Klaviyo account may be leaving revenue on the table.

A welcome flow set up two years ago. Campaigns sent to the whole list. Abandoned carts that get one reminder. Meanwhile, acquisition costs keep climbing and repeat purchase barely moves. The data to fix all of this is already in your account. What's missing is a senior eye that knows what to look for, and in what order.

FAQ

Questions brands ask before we work together.

Do you work with brands outside France?

Yes. I work remotely, in English or French, across time zones.

Do you only do audits?

No: audit, flow builds and ongoing advisory. Most engagements start with an audit.

Do you implement inside Klaviyo, or just advise?

Both. I can hand your team a roadmap, or build with them.

How soon can we start?

I take on a limited number of brands at a time. I'll confirm my current lead time during our first call.

How much does it cost?

Coaching is $350 per hour. For audits, flow builds and ongoing advisory, every brand is different: the first call gives you a clear quote.
