Short excerpt
"$1M ARR this year"
The author says SalesRobot took 5 years to reach $1M ARR, but growth started to stall in the past 90 days.
Revenue clues
- SalesRobot achieved $1M ARR in 5 years; growth started flatline in the past 90 days; early outbound went from $0 to $300K ARR in the first year; related post on the same day revealed 150+ agency clients, agency accounts for 5% of customers but contributed 30% SaaS revenue; old post added a team of 30 people about $15K/month burn, profitable after $20K MRR; current net profit is not disclosed
- In the past, we mainly relied on SEO, LinkedIn content and outbound to capture existing demand; SEO has been impacted by the decline of AI Overviews and Google clicks, LinkedIn reach has declined, and outbound replies and conversions have weakened; Meta ads, Reddit/AI search and the second outreach AI SaaS are being considered; agency/white-label is a customer segment with higher ARPU and low churn
Summary
This is a rare “Still stuck after reaching $1M ARR” review. The key is not the growth story, but the author admits that he is good at capturing existing demand, but does not form enough word of mouth; when SEO, LinkedIn, and outbound become weak at the same time, the lack of communication power of the underlying product is exposed. It is suitable to put it in the chapter "How to rebuild the foundation for growth after the decline of channel dividends".

Evidence note: High: The author himself has continuously disclosed that the main post has a timeline, ARR, and channel decline diagnosis; the pricing/agency post on the same day and the previous team cost post can cross-verify the business structure; dashboard screenshots, complete P&L and churn numbers are missing.
