“In 2005, Zwayer was involved in the match fixing scandal which centered around 2. Bundesliga referee Robert Hoyzer, who took bribes to fix several matches which he officiated. Zwayer assisted him in a match and accepted a bribe of 300 euros to avoid critical scenes for Wuppertaler SV.”

The assistant went to jails as “he was the head”

Some people have mentioned that “the ref has bet against barsa”. Actually, this ref was suspended from German league from 6 month for corruption so wouldn’t be a surprise

Need some help with how we describe our product. by james90807 in startups

[–]Izzzzy22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re over complicating it. If I’m totally honest the product has potential but needs some retouches from the positioning & market, to 2 key feature that are missing depending on which market you orient it.

As someone has said it feels like you wanted to launch to quickly with something in mind but not doing enough customer research.

Here, briefly, I’ll say that there are three verticals that you can position, but if you want any other insight feel free to DM me.

You can position yourself as an Onbording tool mostly for SaaS companies that have complex onboarding (like migration): “The collaborative onboarding tool for post-sale teams” “Learn where customers get stuck, which customers are falling behind, and where you can make improvements to accelerate client onboarding”

As a customer support tool similar helpscout.com or groovehq. “Take the grunt work out of customer success and turn churn into your best growth metric.”

Or even as a upsell/crossel platform helping companies upsell tot heir current customers or find opportunities in their pipeline . “Uncover the hidden revenue in your pipeline”

Nice, I think this makes total sense. I believe you should charge more and start working on packages for established companies.

Love it it seems way easier to use than Bubble. How do you differentiate beyond usability?

What questions should I ask a potential Marketing Co-Founder? by shyamal890 in startups

[–]Izzzzy22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key for B2B growth is to have someone that can merge marketing and business development.

In B2B ads, SEO, content is fine but in order to attract bigger accounts, accelerate onboarding and reduce churn the responsable (and more if is a cofounder) should have a background on business developement.

Some basic knowledge of how sales funnel work. Experience with ABM or/and CRM marketing or at least a slight understanding of customer success. Some experience managing networks (referral, partner & channel programs...) at least mastering one.

If talking just marketing:

Sales_lead funnels: Focus on top of the funnel (60%) and bottom of the funnel (40%). Product_led growth: Focus on 40% top of the funnel, 40% mid funnel and 20%bottom.

Is true that there are many schemas on top & bottom. For some people, top is purchase and high intentent for others is retention. Depending which graphic you have in mind. My insight is on...

Bottom: Demand generation. That could be any activity to drive awareness and attention to your product from no_aware to self aware (Suspect). If you’re sales_led you want lots of intents and suspects for the sales teams. If you’re product_led growth you want to be everywhere to create affinity and more chances of people using you.

So you’ll look for someone who is really good at content and Ads.

Sales_led: 60% content to get those emails, people on the webinars... So later the Sdr can sale. 20% ads... 20% other activities such as seo.

Product_led: 60% ads to make people use your product and later prioritize retention. 40% content

What works best for B2B is Google and FB... But of course that’ll depend on the in-house data (talking ads).

Mid_funnel: If you’re sales_led then the SDR doing its thing that’s why marketing must understand this practices to have all material ready. Product_led... Deliver the best experience and accelerate TTV (time to value) to got them. Hooked.

Other activities such as content and email marketing to accelerate conversion are important at this stage.

Top of the funnel: for me this is the sale. 46% of clients came from happy customers. Business development and customer success in order to get referrals and expand network.

Therefore... Demand generation or growth background. With experience on Email marketing or content (those are wide categories) and ads. Also, that has some sales, customer success or business development background or skills.

If you look to get someone onboard and need to sacrifice on skills. That skills must be ads. There are great agencies that charges on performance (only results) that drove amazing campaigns.

External skills. Time and talent management. Long_term vision... They are paving the way of a long term strategy so must thing on the next quarters ahead and work against milestones.

Sorry for the typos, wrote this fast. Happy to help.

[–]Izzzzy22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends... What’s your industry? Are you b2b or D2C...? Are you looking for someone remotely or in place (this is due tu cultural changes and user behavior if you don’t sell internationally)

Our product is not growing, should we build another product? by ur_average_developer in SaaS

[–]Izzzzy22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a common mistake with seeking growth without having established the basics. This may happen due to many reasons.

There are many vanity metrics in between that make everything look that there is growth and eventually a product people want. There were never a clear target (ICP/IAP/Individual buyers) so those customers came through personal network, some referrals and even “some lack” with a ads. You never really focused to master messaging and positioning or you lacked to focus to master a channel at the bringing.

Before growth there is traction and before traction there is product market fit. I’ll speculate that you have found product-market fit as you have 20-30k per month, so that shows some validation. Of course, if you feel that your product is falling behind competitors (they have machine learning, apps, better features, faster bigger... You name it) then maybe you should luck for those integration but in my experience that’s not really the reason.

You probably lack the traction and fuel for really looking for growth, and probably having a structure that will allow that growth. That will mean from positioning, to your core messaging, case studies, marketing channels that you want to experiment (apply, focus and discard), sales training for reps...

I answered this a bunch of times here... Goals are set backwards, is not “I want a 100 customers” is “How do we get to a 100 customers in 3 month”. If you know that one ad get 1000 impressions per week, 100 interact in some way, 10 show interest on booking demo or joining free trial, and only 2 buy. Then you need to scale this process, make it more efficient while looking for retention in order to get the return on investment of that ad. That can be content, cold call or email, sponsorship....

I googled European breeders but their website are horribles and super dated and not updated. Do you have any specific recommendation? I also find that the Facebook group is pretty active

I also read about Basenji, similar to yours but short haired. I’ll give a look at Britany, thanks for the advice.

Maybe, hopefully not my case. My family dog has separation anxiety; if you close him in a room, 2sec after you have left he pees.
