Gorgias

“The contrary is trade shows, so let's look at them. They spend 5000 dollars on average, so the deal is bigger. NPS is better, so which means they like the product better, and they're gonna tell their friends about it. And we have negative churn, which means, l…”

“The best time to engage a conversation with a customer or a potential customer is inside the product when they have decided to invest time on your product.”

“When you install a chat app on your website, it's likely that you are on a free trial for a customer service app.”

“After we did that, we went to 95% customer activation after they paid, meaning that people made the decision to buy, and 95% of them start using the product and getting value.”

“I think you should do the same thing for somebody who manages all this growth stack. They should be a single digit higher as well, because it's gonna help you get faster to a thousand customers.”

“So 18 months ago, we had 15 customers, and so we were like this little blue tile at the beginning of the curve”

“A simple example is like, we're going to connect our application, our calendar, our payment app, which is Stripe, Datanize that enriches data, and we're going to send all this data to a tool called Segment.”

“What was interesting is that the yearly churn is 80% for Shopify. It's pretty frightening, because at the end of the year, there's only going to be 20% of the stores that work here at the beginning of the year that will still be around and still be your custom…”

“In our case, the close rate went from, ah, like, around 15% to 50% in the course of 12 months. So we tripled the close rate by having this hyper-targeted approach, giving the right pitch to the right people, and talking to the people that are ready to buy.”

“So let's look at the one from Adbound. The average deal size is 2000 dollars, NPS is okay, and churn is not that good, like we have some customers leaving.”

“And so what we were able to do is get the referrals from zero to five percent of the new AR that we add after two years.”

“After one year, we increased the customer experience score from two out of five average to three out of five.”

“Outbound how effective is it it's about 10% of our AR today. So that, that gives you an idea and that's like pure pure outbound.”

“Two years ago I was at Saster and did a session on like how to do this the zero to one and get to this thousand customer mark. And for us, it was about two million AR at the time.”

“We have about 20% of our revenue that comes from the product leads that we don't engage with, and 80% that comes from The blend of inbound leads, post-product leads that we do engage with.”

“We hired a BDR whose job is to send leads to partners. Like that's their full-time job.”

“Ads is about 10, 15% of our AR.”

“So incentives for us where we offer an iPhone if you refer us to customers. So if you just do the math, an iPhone is like a thousand dollars, ECV is a three K, and then you have a NR that is like around like 90 90%. So it's like super worth it because your iPh…”

“Working with the VCs that focus who focus on the direct-to-consumer brands, so we hired a, this time we hired a person to focus on that full-time, and what we found is, like, it was just, like, 200 K-R, 300 K-R per year, so not enough to justify a full-time fo…”

“Instead of sending the vanilla email, we say, Hey, like just notice you use recharge. You're probably getting those three questions from your subscribers. And we know like they can add up quite a bit and it turns out we integrate really well with them and we c…”

“So we do about one event a day, which is which is pretty intense. And so that helps the partners essentially like attract their own leads.”

“We've built what we call a waterfall, which is essentially a script that starts with the cheaper tool... And essentially what we've done with that is that we've managed to roughly triple the amount of leads that we're able to identify from that process.”

“So for us, we sell mostly to Shopify stores. There are about two million of them. I think there's about like 700 K of them that are on our TAM.”

“So by optimizing all the steps I just described, we increased the AR by six X over two years from a thousand to 10,000 customers.”

“They retain about 20% better if they have a higher customer experience score.”

“We focus on Shopify right now. It's about like, 95% of our business, and we're starting to go on Magento and e-commerce and build those partnerships there.”

“And so when you look at folks like Gorgias on its own, like it's it grew faster in the second half of last year than in the beginning.”

“And they just published their revenue last week. So I can share it. They just crossed fifty million ARR.”

“Today, though, I feel like there are a lot of tools out there that can get you to that level of sophistication without being a proper engineer. There is a lot of no code or low code tools that can help you do that.”

“So I think in the past quarter we sent like about a million.”

“When you outbound a prospect with an intent signal, one of those, versus not, the dollars per contact were three times to four times higher.”

“Initially it started to automate seven percent of tickets. It's gotten up to 18% today. They think within the next six to 12 months they'll be able to automate 50% of the back and forth interactions between e-commerce merchants and their end customers.”

“Even in this sort of odd per resolution model in, in post sales support. I think everyone, Zendesk, intercom, customer, gorgeous, dial, even dial pad, even in other areas, I think they all converging on the same model.”

“I invested in a company called Gorgias, which is like Klaviyo for contact center. It's coming up a hundred million.”

“One I invested in the contact center, which is all about AI agents called gorgeous free commerce. They're at almost a hundred million. Okay. At first, the AI was a million bucks a month, right? To deploy these agents. Now it's fine. They've optimized it.”

“We talked about this company Gorgias that I invested in. They're coming up on a hundred million.”
