Two founders asked me yesterday:
โWe're about to spend $10K/month on an agency. What would you do?โ
I said:
โ Put more into demand gen
โ Hire a video editor
โ Run paid tests
โ Build awareness + trust
Agencies can help (I run one), but early on - traction > retainer.
@pjmcgeary I've worked for a variety of SaaS companies, and one basically had their software buckle overnight (vendors cut ties with them), and had it fully functional within 24 hours.
So, generally not long if you have a good foundation.
@ianncushing Nice! This is why SEO is such a great investment. Usually the initial "push" and small, ongoing adjustments can lead to this. It's a long-term play, but satisfying when it gets going.
Hoping things pick up even more!
@doctor_of_clean Sorry to hear this. Not to try and swoop in and sell anyone, but I lead marketing here at @ZenMaid and we're always around to demo our product if anyone is looking to switch.
We also offer uploads for those who want to keep operations running smoothly.
@SABiggy @doctor_of_clean @SABiggy It's not as straightforward and depends on the number of cleaners. Our pricing is just that - to accommodate businesses of all sizes.
@MuditP1 Come try ZenMaid if you do want to explore other options. I lead marketing here and would be glad to give you my personal email to answer any questions (DM me)
@SABiggy @doctor_of_clean Hey! Ryan from ZenMaid here. No bricks in these woods but since we're talking about prices, I'm clarifying that we went from 2 plans (free and paid at $49 per month) to 3 plans ($19, $39, and $49 per month).
@JacobWBailey@MaxArnold99@JacobWBailey If that's what you gathered from that interaction, please read it again. I assure you that's not what was communicated.
We have 3 tiers of pricing now ($19/mo, $39/mo, and $49/mo), which is more than fair. Let's chat about your situation specifically. Here to help
@JacobWBailey@MaxArnold99 Hey! Ryan from ZenMaid here. We did not double our prices - we went from 2 plans (free and paid) to 3 paid plans; our lowest starts at $19 per month.
Transparency, accountability, and delivering real results - thatโs what weโre about.
Starting this journey was one of the best decisions Iโve ever made. Hereโs to the next chapter. ๐
If youโve ever thought about launching your own business, whatโs holding you back?
Why did I start @CommonstateAr?
After working at three marketing agencies earlier in my career, I couldnโt shake the thought: โWhat if I launched one of my own?โ
If youโve ever worked at a service-based business, you know the feeling.
