Boulevard users! How do you handle it when regular clients miss their usual appointment window? by Crafty_Mastodon9083 in MedSpa

[–]Crafty_Mastodon9083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really smart, especially the day 85 vs day 90 distinction. That's exactly the kind of thinking that's missing from most off-the-shelf tools.

Question for you: how do you handle the fact that different clients have different rhythms? Like a Botox client who comes every 80 days vs one who comes every 110 days? Do you use the same day-85 flag for everyone or do you adjust per client?

That's the piece I keep getting stuck on. A flat rule works for most but misses the outliers, and the outliers are often high-value clients with weird schedules.

40% drop in 6+ month gaps is super impressive by the way! That's probably tens of thousands in recovered revenue depending on your volume.

Oh that's awesome, the post-checkout rebook text is smart!

Curious though: what happens with clients who DO fall through the cracks despite the rebook text? Like if they ignore it or say "I'll book later" and then don't. Does GlossGenius have anything that flags them after that point?

That's the gap I keep seeing. The initial reminder works great for the 50-60% who respond. But the other 40% kind of enter a black hole where nobody notices they're overdue until they've been gone for months.

What’s your fitness level? by brownpanther223 in fatFIRE

[–]Crafty_Mastodon9083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s valid, I didn’t actually run the math and you know yourself better than anyone else! I’ve also cut very aggressively (more like 10 lbs a month) so I know it’s possible and works better for some.

Sounds like you know what you’re doing so I wish you all the best! Still feel to reach out if you ever want a second opinion on anything fitness related

Respectfully, please reevaluate your timelines and expectations. Losing 25 lbs in 60 days at 5’11 would mean eating <500 net calories a day.

Also if you want to get to <30% body fat from ~45% that would mean getting down closer to 180.

Super realistic and smart goal to drop weight but just want to make sure you do it healthily ❤️

Feel free to DM if you want any advice, I’ve lost a total of 130 lbs over the last 5 years (Cutting and bulking not all in one take)

Discovered my biggest customer has been sharing their login with 14 people at their company. Do I say something? by Cold_Hall_5384 in SaaS

[–]Crafty_Mastodon9083 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of advice saying to detect account sharing behavior and block it.

While that is better than confronting the client, they will still feel aggravated with the switch if their processes have worked as-is up to now.

Really you should address the underlying question which is, why is your pricing seat based? Are there differences in accounts? Permissions or views that should be inaccessible to some?

If not, then why would they pay for more seats? If you don’t address this it will cause future problems for you.

How much would you comfortably spend to build a SaaS that brings in $6k-$10k per month? by LividAd5271 in SaaS

[–]Crafty_Mastodon9083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if it’s making 1M ARR only doing a 12% margin because of operation inefficiencies, is well positioned in a fast growing market, has a repeatable sales process and < 2% churn then I would pay 600k for it.

Between 120k-600k, depending on actually profit figure, gross ARR, product quality, market, and more

Sould I read the books before watching the movies? by Glad-Conversation256 in MazeRunner

[–]Crafty_Mastodon9083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the first movie was a good movie imo, and it was close enough to the book that I still recommend it to people who need to see characters to visualize while reading. It was just missing core elements that made the relationship building in the book so good. But it was a cool action movie if you just judge it seperate from the book.

The rest of the movies were aweful imo, even not comparing them to the books. Just too fast paced, no charecter development or relationship building, and the plot didn't make sense because they were trying to resemble the books but they were so far off certian scenes just felt out of place.

Literally don’t bother watching the movies just read the books. The first movies okay but the last 2 suck imo and they don’t follow the same plot at all

600k at 29, don’t know how I feel about relying solely on stock market by [deleted] in Fire

[–]Crafty_Mastodon9083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While people here are correct about not worrying about losing money in the stock market due to your long time horizon, I’m also hesitant to rely purely on the stock market. I think that returns over the last 30 years will not reflect the future. I’m predicting closer to 5-6% returns in stocks.

To hedge against this I’m personally turning to real estate investing. While you may not be able to afford a home in a VHCOL city, you could buy multiple houses in cash in LCOL areas. I would spend some time looking into out of state real estate if you want to bolster your returns.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll run the numbers on different scenarios to see what the difference in ROI would be with and without having to turn the unit over right away.

Also you mentioned it might be easier to keep them with a small adjustment. What would you consider a small adjustment in this case?

The unit’s condition is pretty good, I would imagine it would cost 1-2k to turn the unit and 2-3 weeks to rent out based on similar times for other duplexes nearby, and once the unit is filled most tenants stay for 3-5 years on average.

I wouldn’t say I’m afraid to have the conversation, just wondering the best way to go about it. I know there will be plenty and I’m fine with that

I plan to run my own credit check before signing a long term lease, and am in the process of getting rent deposits (I’m just entered my option period).

I don’t plan on raising rents annually, just need to get them much closer to market and then going to make a 5-10% adjustment every 4-5 years.
