You work tirelessly to understand your customer, market, and competition so you can differentiate. For example, you could deploy CSAT surveys at various parts of the buyer’s journey (distributed across leads so as not to bombard a single customer with multiple questions). Brand consideration. Brand visibility.

It’s tough to compete on product alone and you’re likely to see diminishing returns. There have never been more brands competing for attention than there are right now. If you spam the non-buyers with sales CTAs, you’ll only annoy them. If you spam the non-buyers with sales CTAs, you’ll only annoy them. Everyone else?

It wins through better distribution, logistics, inventory management, warehousing, customer support, merchandising, cross-selling and ultimately on price & scale.

Besides being “busy doing great deals and distributing cash to your LPs”, what are they’re actually doing to make that happen? Since I started coaching investors , especially non-partners and partners at emerging funds, I’ve been asked the same questions in all sorts of ways: “What things should I be doing to be great?”

An era defined and dominated by the few who could afford the factories, the media and the distribution systems. And while we feel a bit uncomfortable, we still engage because the cost of non participation is currently higher than the price of privacy. The top down era of one size fits all. And now it is over. This might just change.

To my mind, it’s fear of the unknown that holds most of us back and not the thought of whether we’re competent enough or intelligent enough or whatever else we feel is needed to run a business. Or is it about running a non-profit soup kitchen for the unemployed? However, you can also start a corporation or a non-profit company.

But we created a patchwork of non-standard contracts that added to the overhead of managing a business as it scaled. If I did another startup I would only have standard, non-negotiable t’s & c’s (and maybe agree the occasional side letter to win bigger deals). It seemed a luxury to think about the future.

Free often wins versus buying a competing product. As such, multi-channel analysis and attribution modelling is non-existent in the platform. Clicky has a few features that differentiate (all real time analytics, heat maps), but I don’t think it’s worth switching from GA. Clicktale doesn’t have any cohort analysis reports.
