I think GenAI will make teams 50x faster. Why? 🤔 I’ve never been on a large team that moved fast. I once had to work with 5 people to send an email. It took 2 weeks. ⏳ Now, I use ChatGPT for words or tech, and MidJourney for images. I now do everything in a day. 💪🚀

I can safely say that automation today stinks. It’s broken. And it’s been broken for the last 25 years. Let’s face it. It's slow. It breaks. It’s hard to use. Why? IMHO we’re stuck with the wrong approach. The right approach will seem so clear to you. medium.com/mesmerhq/why-i…

I’ll save you at least 2 dozen hours with this marketing tip B2B customers want help in 3 areas: 1⃣ Make more money 2⃣ Stay safe (from attack, from regulations, etc) 3⃣ Save money If you’re business doesn’t do one of these three, find a new business.

Your CFO won’t like this, but... Pay your sales team the same for channel deals. Even if they did no work. Pay them. Why? If your sales person gets paid less on partner deals, they may want to do the deal themselves. Channel will fail. #lesonslearned #startups

Is my idea a business? How will I know? Ultimately you won’t know until you make that first sale. And then the second. And third. But here’s an early signal. *Every* interviewed customer will tell you they suffer from the same problem. The one your idea will solve.

I came to the US on an h1b visa. I’d like to think I’ve been a net positive for the country. RT if you or a family member are also an immigrant who has been net positive for the US

$1 million in sales with an MVP When starting, you have no brand. No customers. Yet you need to make money. Here’s how. Share your product roadmap. Customers buy on your vision of the future. They need to believe you’ll get them there. #startups

Hey founders. Want to build the next Google? There is no fancy strategy. Or 5 year plans. Do this 1 thing: Make a great product that customers love. That’s it. Do that, and great things happen. #startups

Marketers at startups- please don’t do this. Don’t track leads. Never track leads. Always track sales pipeline created. 1 real sales deal > 5,000 leads. #startups #marketing

That means you need to write like you speak. It’s ok to use I. You. Me. Totally fine to start sentences with ‘and.’ Keep your sentences short. Your paragraphs even shorter. This advice goes against everything I learned (sorry Ms. Dickson!). But trust me, it works. /2

What I had to unlearn from school How to write. Writing for school is very different from writing for work. Use big words in school= A. Use big words in a marketing = C. Keep it simple. You’re not writing for college professors. You’re writing for the general public. /1

The VC pitch that will help you raise millions. I wish I had the magic formula. Sorry to disappoint! I do have a process though that has worked for me. The key- write down questions asked in every pitch. Lots of questions about the market? Your elevator…lnkd.in/gZc5MVb

The secret to fundraising. Being a founder means you know something no one else does. On the market. On the customer. Whatever. It’s something you only you can see. Hearing no doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It means your pitch needs work. #startups
