We've been expanding self-serve customer service tools like a start guide, documentation, and youtube videos with guides on how to do things. I'm at beehiiv, and these have been big as we've seen a little more growth than usual lately. Highly recommend. Hope that helps!
What are the key factors that contribute to a good customer experience, in your opinion?

Using sales navigator is one way. What I've found is creating content and/or curating content helps. Lots of people, but not a lot of activity, so decent content works. If you can, having a group of friends/associates form a "pod" and actively engage with each other's content is a good way to boost engagement faster. Hope that helps! All the best.

Yeah I think rows.com has a good way of doing this. Regardless of what you use, you'll most likely need a premium LinkedIn account. Good luck!!

I can share a relevant story with you. I run a newsletter and feature some startups for free in exchange for them sharing it to help it grow. The newsletter has already been growing 3x every month - but I thought this would help. Made an offer by posting that I would do free features for people. It was in a slack group. Asked people to dm me if interested. People left msgs like: "if you do xyz...

I managed a community of about 1000 business owners. Slack community. People filled out a typeform to pay and get in (but now I'd use Tally). Zapier would take that info where it needed to be (newsletter, slack, database). The database was just Airtable, but it worked very well for me. That's basically it. Would manage most of it in Slack and if I never needed an occasional document for...

Be consistently trying new things until something shows real signs of life. Then double down on it 100 times because you can milk one good piece of content many times, and it helps you grow a lot. Just mix in a few other things in between so it's not the same msg after itself every single time. Most people who grow quickly write the simplest things (that aren't new, exciting, nor interesting)...

I think itโs always tricky at first. Balancing what you love enough to do every day vs what makes money. Sometimes a passion is within what you live. Maybe you can create something related to video games and excites you, but necessarily a game. As long as the founder is the driving force, they have to be motivated enough. For some money is motivating enough. For others, passion has to be there....
How important is it to be passionate about the problem your business is solving?

Zapier Tally.so Beehiiv (my business runs on it). Honourable mention goes to Notion - didn't make the list because it's less for making things compared to the others.

I managed a community of 1000+ saas founders for about a year. This is what I recall people mentioning. - Cold outreach. Buying leads from someone like Apollo and building a sequence in lemlist. - Communities for their industry. Building warm connections there and slowly introducing their product. - Lifetime deals for the first 50 - 100 paid users. Pre-sales are your friend. - Partnerships....

- sell first - write well - do it like your life depends on it (or don't bother) - if you give an inch they'll take a mile - hedging is the enemy - go all in or not at all - when you're 99% sure they'll buy it, raise the price The greatest impact on humanity has never been created by the good little boys and girls who did what they were told.

They work - but it depends on how you structure it. We've done a few things. 1. We give a discount in exchange for something. For example, an email, signup, testimonial, etc. "you bought this product, here's a discount on that product" for example. 2. Reverse discounts also work. Instead of 50% off today, we say "buy it before the price increases next week." The fear of losing the current price...
Discounts: yes or nah?

It feels like growth hacking is rooted in "exploits." System errors or missed possibilities that users take advantage of. Back in the day, we'd publish a website with a white background. The background however would have one word just copy and pasted all over it. That was our desired keyword, and we made the text white and unselectable. But back then, Google scanned the background and saw our...

Awesome to see @nathanlatka and @mubashariqbal building products for SaaS Founders.

I remember using this ages ago and it was incredible! Fast, easy, and very powerful. The only reason I don't use it now is because I don't take meetings anymore and don't need. The moment I change-up my routine and open my calendar up again, I'll be using Vimcal!
