# SaaS Revenue Leak Checklist Preview

The paid checklist is a compact rewrite guide for founders trying to get a first paid conversion from a landing page, checkout flow, or cold outreach path.

## Preview: First Screen

- Name one buyer, not a broad audience.
- Put the paid outcome in the headline or subhead.
- Show the product state, output, or workflow before asking for signup.
- Remove any CTA that competes with the next paid step.

Quick fix template:

> For [specific buyer], [product] turns [painful input] into [paid outcome] in [timeframe], without [main objection].

## Preview: Paid Trigger

- Explain why someone should pay today instead of bookmarking.
- Put the upgrade reason next to the free/demo path.
- Use a one-time starter offer if monthly pricing feels premature.
- Make the checkout scope small enough that it feels safe.

The full checklist includes proof-before-payment, trust-friction, cold-outreach sections, copy formulas, and a 10-minute rewrite order.
