When pipeline grows but revenue doesn’t follow

Helping B2B SaaS turn pipeline into revenue by fixing activation, onboarding and funnel drop-offs

Karina Karn, MSc

B2B SaaS Growth Strategist

Over the past 14 years, I’ve worked across multinational environments and early-stage companies, advising more than 30 organisations across Europe and the US on how to turn user behaviour into measurable growth.

 

My work sits at the intersection of behavioural science, product experience and revenue systems. I’m the author of two books on behavioural science, and I’ve developed multiple whitepapers exploring how decision-making impacts adoption. Through this work, I developed the Triple-Sail Framework, a model designed to identify where growth breaks across activation and conversion.

Revenue & Lifecycle Optimisation

Identify and fix the gaps between acquisition, conversion, and revenue. Most teams focus on generating leads, but lose opportunities in the handover between marketing, sales, and the product experience. I work across CRM, lifecycle, and customer journeys to simplify processes, improve follow-ups, and ensure users or accounts reach value. The result is a clearer system, better adoption, and more revenue from the opportunities.

Fix Activation & Funnel Drop-offs

Identify where users drop off across the funnel and optimise onboarding flows to help them reach value faster and convert into revenue. By removing friction across key conversion points and aligning messaging with user intent, this improves activation, demo conversion and overall funnel performance.

The Behavioural Method


By decoding how people perceive, categorise and choose products, behavioural insight can be translated into defensible strategic positioning that reduces decision friction in saturated markets.

This process is formalised in a proprietary behavioural positioning model used to strengthen category recognition and accelerate adoption.
