# You never know how far it can take you

## Claim
We signed a FAANG company as a client and got them from paying $50 bucks to $150k in 5 months. A few months back, someone from this huge company signed up for our free plan. Wanted to show his boss, but their security takes forever. So he bought one $50 subscription with his personal card to test it quickly.

## Mechanism
I gave them free access for a month to build momentum. Then asked for commitment.

## Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

## Evidence
> "You never know how far it can take you."
