I always love a good founder story, and in the last episode of 'A Slice of SaaS,' we got one. I had the chance to chat with Nicolas Iannone to talk about his journey with Pixelwerk, from its inception to being acquired by Örn Software. We spoke about the highs, the lows, the pivot, the acquisition, and the lessons learned along the way. Main topics & key takeaways: Embrace change: Markets evolve, and your business should too. Whether it's a pivot or a new market opportunity, approach it with an open mind. Customer-centricity is key: Always keep your finger on the pulse of your customer's evolving needs and ensure your offerings match up. Prep for potential acquisitions: If an acquisition is on the horizon, having your operations, documentation, and strategy in order can make all the difference. Learn and grow: Every challenge and growth phase offers valuable lessons. Embrace them to continually refine your approach. Embrace “Good Enough”: Striving for perfection can be a trap. Focus on actions that generate real value and growth without getting lost in the weeds of perfectionism. Check out the full episode on the link in the comments 😎

The fifth week of the month is one of our lighter production weeks. Even so, the shows we have are riveting, as always! Listen to this week's playlist here: https://lnkd.in/gs9GZxdC In this episode of Market Dominance Guys, Chris Beall and Corey Frank dive into how sales reps can inadvertently end up working for their competitors by blowing the trust built in the discovery call. When a prospect agrees to a meeting, they’re extending trust. But if the rep rushes into a transactional mode, focusing more on their own agenda, they risk shattering that trust. Chris emphasizes that once trust is broken, it’s nearly impossible to regain, and the rep may have just handed a well-educated prospect to the competition. Tune in as Chris and Corey explore how to navigate discovery calls and build lasting trust with your prospects in this episode, “Blowing the Trust: Are you working for your competitor?” Deborah S. Fell Fell welcomes Joe Leo, the CEO and Founder of Def Method, a data science and custom software development consultancy. Joe’s entrepreneurial journey started with a humorous misinterpretation of his father’s advice, leading him to strike out on his own. As he navigated leadership challenges, Joe learned to focus on the right people and clients and deliver value. His detail-oriented approach and ability to learn from mistakes have been crucial in shaping Def Method’s enduring company culture and success. From managing data silos to leveraging AI in revolutionary ways, Joe’s experiences will resonate with seasoned SAAS entrepreneurs who have faced their own set of challenges. In the second half of the conversation, Fran Morgan and @Donna Robertson from Fabric Cafe share their passion for quilting and discuss the importance of passing down the love for sewing to younger generations. Fran expresses her wish to continue producing excellent books and patterns while expanding their reach to younger quilters, ensuring the craft thrives. The hosts discuss how sewing skipped a generation but is now making a comeback, with people learning through YouTube and other resources. They also touch on the growing trend of repurposing and reusing materials, turning old items into beautiful new creations. Fran and Donna share advice for those who have inherited fabric stashes and those who want to learn to quilt, suggesting they contact local quilt guilds or organizations for guidance and support.

im tellin' ya If you wanna be a top-ass #googleads specialist you need to ditch these one-size-fits-all docs with specific "winning" account structures: Instead: - Make a point to understand how the smart bidding algorithm works & the things it takes into account when making bidding decisions - Understand how each strategy works and therefore how it treats the volume that's potentially infront of it - Understand how your keyword/MT/channel selection will bring volume to the budgets you have available. Understand how effective they have been previously if possible. - Treat your budget distribution like you would an investment account, long your longs, let the winners run, use a stop-loss on your worse performers (pause them) - Use your bidding strategy controls as a lever for volume between things that work and things that don't chaps and chappettes: If you're consulting a playbook at the initial stage its bad news, despite the amount of engagement and podcast invites your gurus got for shilling them (pic is me in my office)

What does it mean to scale? Does scaling suck? Some organizations measure scale by revenue, ad budgets, people, processes, etc. The word is very interchangeable. We should not get caught up in what it means to someone else, but it is what makes the most sense to us. This week's episode of the ASOM pod features discussions of our challenges to scale, including how we failed and won. ✉ Jimmy Kim shares the pains of scaling a SaaS platform after raising a seed round. 🐶 Bryan MacDonald talks about scaling a long-established business and dealing with growth through procurement, warehouses, etc. ⚔ John Roman chimes in with how they scaled marketing through scaling content. 💻 I jumped in and shared the early days of using contractors and the pains early on of finding/building/hiring the right people. The link to the episode is below 👇 ...one of my favorite recordings so far.

Are you giving your customers what they want or what they actually need? This will trip up even the most experienced product teams. David Fano talked with me about using the 'Jobs-to-be-Done' framework. He’s implemented his own version that works for him and his team. It’s an intersection of Bob Moesta and Clayton Christensen’s idea that: — “People buy products to make their lives better in some way.” But when we ask customers what they want, their answers tend to only scratch the surface. "I want better control of the margins." Is that really what they need? Or is it just a means to an end? Dave compared it to giving your kid french fries instead of broccoli. Sure, they WANT the fries, but they NEED the broccoli to grow up big and strong. Product teams need to find ways to sneak the broccoli into the fries. How can we give users what they want while still helping them make real progress? The secret is to dig deeper and figure out what they're really trying to achieve. When we do this, we can come up with solutions that give them what they want AND what they need. — How do you balance giving users what they want vs. what they need?
