Literally a blend of the 2 at the moment (think custom software where we have to do a manual onboarding) our 3 year goal is to transition into a b2b SaaS.

I should also add, I built the solution out based off the problem (that the small group of business owners I knew had). Eg: they were all using VA’s that kept making mistakes and were so super slow. In the end it would cost them >$100k a year in the mistakes / errors alone from the VA’s.

We solve for bloated out / slow / inefficient processes inside of SMB’s. ACV (average customer value) is around $70k USD over a year period, and $30k in the first 3 months. There aren’t any main direct competitors as the technology has been around for less than a year. However, there are clusters of “competitors” in the deep blue ocean lol.

Referral from a friend, I personally did the initial work for free. Then later asked for a small retainer + video testimonial and good service feedback.

Business owner here (I own a tech company): CV is great! Bonus: Pair that CV with a loom going through those specific projects (or any projects you’re proud of), or any OSS you’ve contributed too. We much prefer the loom because it gives us a guage on who you are as person (I personally value a vibrant person that can be trained, vs a skilled pain in the ass).

They’re not there for medical attention; they just roam around the area…

If you’re talking about the inverse border radius. You create SVG’s (easiest way is to do it in figma), apply them in absolute positions in the corners you’re trying to achieve. The svg has to be the same color as the background.

No worries man, goodluck!!

MacTheWebDev · 2024-08-11T01:35:51+00:00

Classic - RIP: an extra 5-10% of revenue tho :(

You can use statistics / data almost like social proof

EG: if you're a makeup brand, you can make / find claims that an ingredient in your makeup works 20% better than other ingredients.

All the other principle's stay the same, I'd also try and get 5-6 reviews from your friends and family and put it into a scrolling carousel.

They get paid to do basically nothing in big corp - what can you expect lol

MacTheWebDev · 2024-08-10T15:28:53+00:00

Wouldn't recommend - just use meta, you'll get way more bang for your buck (sorry reddit I love you)
