Economist and Author

About

Economist and author. Working to try and remove the jargon from economics. I post personal thoughts on economic issues on LinkedIn, either as brief written articles or as short videos. I firmly believe that everyone can and should understand economics - we all make economic decisions all of the time. The problem is that the economics profession has not been good at communicating. Specialties: Inflation, global capital flows, income inequality in OECD economies, economic change and environmental sustainability, education and economics, and the consequences of prejudice for macro and micro economics. Fellow of the Royal Economic Society. Johnson Honorary Fellow St Anne’s College, Oxford. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_37bvdOuKEgvGfwuojNQnQ

How long should founders keep chasing customers who love the product but never actually pay?

We started getting positive feedback from potential customers. They joined demos explored the product requested features and told us how useful it could be for their teams. The problem was that very few moved forward with a purchase. At first we treated every interested lead as a potential customer. Eventually we realized that attention and genuine buying intent are two very different things. For founders selling B2B products what signals help you distinguish serious buyers from people who are simply interested? When do you stop following up and focus on better opportunities?

Hamdori 0.1.4: Distraction guard

0.1.4 is out with a new opt-in feature, Distraction guard.

How to turn it on

  1. Right-click Hamdori Open Panel

  2. Turn on Distraction guard

When a site on your list (YouTube, Instagram and a few others are there by default) is in the front tab, Hamdori stares at it for a moment, then slurps that tab up. Your other tabs stay put. Apps on the list get moved out of view instead.

🤦 Can you name your customer's pain - short and clearly?

In the RunEvr team, we're all problem solvers.

I honestly don't remember an exciting problem we've left without a solution =D
