Did you know there’s a call to action that gets more engagement than Plan A Visit? It’s true and it’s not hard to implement at all. Sometimes we get so focused on our service that we forget that people just want to connect. That’s why Grab A Coffee and Talk To A Pastor are two great call to actions that get huge engagement with new people. Have you tried this?
I sold my last businsss to private equity. Heres what I'm doing for the next run:
1) build a growth engine. Read Traction and implement the principles. Lock in your growth engine and get really f'ing good at it so you can so a clear bow tie funnel.
2) keep meticulous records. Every contract. Every employment agreement. Every IP transfer. Keep them in a folder they'll all come up in diligence.
3) have a crystal clear shareholders agreement. It's so easy to say "we'll figure this out later" but sales move quickly. Make sure everyone is on the same page.
4) know my metrics. Speaking to acquirers and investors forces you to know your key numbers fast - churn, customers, pipeline, win/loss, if you don't know these you're missing a trick
5) optimise for ebitda. Profit is good! We were bootstrapped. Profitability signals health.
Lemme know what else you wanna know.
Ok https://t.co/XAz9I64kBn is by far the best tool for SaaS I’ve ever used. Connecting intercom and stripe and Google analytics and just asking questions is blowing my mind. I’ve learned more in two days than the last 10 years.
AI is exposing who actually enjoys coding, and who just wants to build. Personally I enjoy coding and solving problems. Just describing features to an AI bot feels completely unfulfilling to me.
There was a wow-factor initially, but it's gone now.
@dannypostma I wear an Apple watch with a sleep mode that only allows offline alerts through. If it vibrates I’m at my desk within 2 minutes. It’s a wild life we live.
Who can make videos like this? Not close to this. Like this or better. I’m happy to pay a solid hourly rate and send consistent work but I’m interested in being a client for a while.
I've heard from some people that they reached out to Support Shepherd/Somewhere about hiring someone and never heard back from them
