Thomas is one of the most knowledgeable people I've spoken to in the subscription space. This is our second call. Again he came fully prepared, asked the right questions to understand our new context, and delivered insights that were 100% tailored. He knows a lot about platforms, offer strategy, retention mechanics, and testing frameworks He's very honest. He wasn't afraid to be direct about trade-offs and limitations in decisions we'd already made, and he consistently pushed us toward letting data validate rather than relying on gut or even his own opinions alone. We have to change a lot of things from our roadmap now, but thankfully we spoke with him and are able to change them now before it costs us millions For any DTC brand serious about subscriptions, he's the real deal

We booked a call with Thomas with the expectation of reviewing our current retention system, as we wanted to increase our retention rate. The call was amazing! He understood our challenges quickly and immediately gave us tailored frameworks. Thomas is a really relaxed guy, and he explained his concepts and ideas professionally, so we're really happy that he shared his knowledge with us. We immediately executed what he advised and have already seen improvements in our conversion rate. We will definitely book another call so we can upgrade our emails, SMS, and WhatsApp flows even faster and more smoothly. So yeah, it was worth every $. Highly recommended, no doubt!

Probably the strongest retention specialist I ever met, Thomas gave us very good feedback that probably saved us months and a lot of wasted budget, i got so much value from this call and probably my top3 calls ever on mentorpass we came with a plan about subscription but thomas bluntly showed us were is our gaps and wasn't afraid for giving an honest feedback, with that being said, he proposed us a new solution we haven't think of, We will definitely schedule more sessions in order to keep us accountable to the plan and it's a no brainer for anyone who even think about subscription

One of the best calls i had in mentorPass , Thomas helped us understand which direction to go when it comes to subscription and probably saved us months, he was brutally honest and on this 1 hour call we managed to re-direct the subscriprition program that we had, he also explained us about retention mechanics, and testing systems, i do believe that it saved us months and hundreds of thosands so we're grateful to have him on MentorPass
