How would you describe your evolution over the past 6 months, both as a professional and as a BusinessLeague Mentee?

Over the past 6 months, I reached an important milestone for me—I surpassed 1,000 monthly sales. It was a significant leap, achieved by activating CSS, which initially led to higher costs. Later on, I optimized the campaigns based on volumes and results, and things started falling into place. I learned a lot about how CSS works, managed considerably larger budgets, and, perhaps most valuably, learned how to manage my emotions on days when results were either above or below expectations.

How have your numbers evolved since November, when we last spoke, up until today?

I've had an interesting and valuable evolution:
November: 751 conversions (Black Friday period)
December: 535 conversions
January: 589 conversions
February: 552 conversions
March: 813 conversions
April: 1,651 conversions (CSS launch)
May: 915 conversions (CSS optimization)

The conversion rate fluctuated, but as volume grew and through constant optimization, I managed to stabilize and improve it.

How valuable has your experience in the Mentorship program been for you? 

It has been a game-changer for me. Without this program, my journey would have been much harder and more expensive. I have grown tremendously and I am grateful for my mentor's support—it was an inspired choice. The insights I received are relevant, actionable, and have brought me real results.

Tell us the most important thing you've learned about partnerships with stores in BusinessLeague. 

I learned how important transparency is when collaborating with advertisers. Whenever I couldn't track offers or stock levels in detail, direct communication with partners helped me enormously. Receiving information about upcoming campaigns, availability, and plans gave me a strategic advantage. When there is openness and trust, I have every motivation to invest time and energy into future projects alongside those advertisers.

Are you considering becoming a Mentor in the program yourself?

Yes, I am considering that possibility. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge, especially in certain niches, and developed new skills throughout the program. The idea of becoming a mentor is a rewarding challenge—and I love challenges!

Players are still hesitant to sign up both as Mentors and as Mentees. Why do you think that happens?

I think some players either don't feel the need for structured support or aren't fully determined to commit seriously to this field. It's a decision that comes with commitment, and not everyone is ready for that.

What advice do you have for a new player who is just discovering BusinessLeague.com?

The first and perhaps most important step: find a mentor. It's a choice that will save them time, money, and plenty of mistakes. A good mentor can guide you straight to where you need to be, much faster than if you went at it alone.
