The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Casey Sullivan no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q a second. A lot of people ask me about our G two crowd and kept Tara worth it. I happen to notice you are on cap Tara and it is a significant, according to similar web, it does drive you significant traffic. And I do see the visit website button next to your listing, which means you're paying for something on there. Um, is it an effective channel for you?

A Yeah. Um, it is, it has been the best for us. Um, And, and partly because, um, we don't have like a, we don't have a marketing team per se. So we've been doing, like I mentioned before, we're spending almost all of our time on product development, not on, um, sales and marketing. And so when we've done sales and marketing through other channels, we, I just had, I just had a lot of pain. Like, you know, going through say Facebook, we'd get customers who are really interested in the product and they're like, oh, that's awesome. And then they just never really, they would set up, but then never actually Use, you know, use the product or, or eventually of course pay. And so our percentage of, um, people going from using to paying was really low. Where I think when we're getting direct clicks from say Google or from Capterra, They're already expressing a need for a software like this, and then they're, and then they're coming to us, and we actually are, um, yeah, we actually do pretty well with that, with that customer, because they, they're looking for a product, and we're super versatile, um, it's a really pretty product, and so we, we actually do pretty well with those customers, especially when they look at a bunch of customers.

Q Okay, so less than 40 grand a month in revenue. What drove most that growth? Was it, you know, a Capterra deal, AppSumo deal, you know, government organizations?

A Yeah, it's a combination of a lot of things. So, um, you know, most all of our money we've been spending on product development. So, as the product has gotten, I mean, our 2015 product was pretty, you know, bad in hindsight. Um, and so, we've spent Just, you know, almost no money in marketing and almost all of our funds have been on product development. So as a product has gotten better, you know, our low return has gone down. Our people are willing to pay more, pay more often. I mean, so there's more users per town. So there's a combination of, of many things that are working, but we're still on almost a, like a zero marketing budget at the moment. So we're, we're kind of relying on, um, people loving the tool enough to, to give it a try.
