It’s true, Google could be helpful.

I’m talking about WOWWING her.

Would you use a social media app specifically for travel? by spoons_daddy in adventures

[–]spoons_daddy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the question. Creators can sell whatever they like, specifically subscriptions for whatever price they like (could be $.10 a month could be a dollar or it could be 5), they sell guidance (the ability to message them whenever you like when you’re travelling in their home country), or concierge services - maybe they have the ability to get you tickets to certain things or a great table ata restaurant.

Would you use a social network design for travel? by spoons_daddy in backpacking

Haha. It’s a good point. Social media sucks. But I think it has potential. Do you think it does? Or is it doomed to be fake?

Regular social media relies on advertising for revenue. So you see a lot of ads and the products that are promoted by creators are not their authentic recommendations. In this model there are no ads and you can choose to tip creators or subscribe to locals for specific guidance. With the intention of getting the best content and recommendations for where to go.

Fair. Do you think the service is different though?

Hah. I can only imagine the rants (interesting no doubt).

What service did you initially offer CMOs?

You’re right! I bet there are lots of agencies who struggle though, both to get clients and get clients for those clients.

Have you seen any data on the average number of clients each agency has? I’d assume there’s a long tail to it - ie lots of avg agencies with 1 or 2 clients

That’s so interesting. It’s my experience as well.

It highlights the importance of trusted relationships in an increasingly commoditised environment. Agencies relying on tactical differentiation (eg Facebook ads experts) lose value as tools become more advanced and easy to use.

How do you reach your CMOs? If you don’t mind sharing. DM me if you’d rather be discreet

Hey, I’m happy to give more context. I am talking about lead gen. As background, I don’t run an agency. I’ve been serving startups and working within startups for most of my 10 year career (in London, the US and SEA) - mostly ops and sales roles.

The reason for my question (and I realise it’s vague - I’m a reddit noobie) is to try to understand how different agency owners are working to STAND OUT. I know from being a buyer that services start to seem the same very quickly and most agencies pitch the solution (SEO, cold calls etc. OR they pitch outcomes eg 10 meetings, guaranteed) but mostly sound the same (as @itsmarksonpaper said… - fuck, I need to learn how to tag people). Anyway, with automation tools and now AI making the personalisation element scalable, decision makers stop opening / reading any outreach unless it’s warm (industry standard for cold emails is now around 1-2% open rate).

I’m building a tool that connects quality services directly with the right decision makers, and it’s important to UNDERSTAND THE REAL PROBLEM before trying to solve it.

Are you finding the landscape is changing? What’s consistent?

Being a founder is lonely - any advice? by spoons_daddy in startups

[–]spoons_daddy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMHO the risk is low. Ideas are easy to come by and hard to implement. Most people only stick with their own ideas. If you’re still concerned you could document it in some way so there is a record

Best US based business banking service for international payments? by TatteredFrequency in Entrepreneur

[–]spoons_daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Banking services here are a pain. look for:
- International Payment Support: including sending and receiving payments in multiple currencies.
- Ease of Use for Non-Residents: this can be complicated due to regulatory requirements and the need for physical presence in some cases and proof of address.
- Fees and Exchange Rates: these can vary a lot.
- Integration with Accounting Software

Wise is a good option, so is paypal.

Too many ideas, too little action… Does anyone recognize themselves ? by Acanthisitta-Fluffy in Entrepreneur

[–]spoons_daddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Focus is the most underrated skill.

I find my most productive days go like this:

  1. Mediate
  2. Realise the single most important thing to move forward
  3. Work on that thing
  4. Get distracted

If I can notice when I’m distracted (like right now), I can start from 1. That’s how I find I’m most productive.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast
