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 →

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 Okay, I see. Got it. Um, and where, so where do you think the next, again, considering a recession virus, I mean, where do you think, how do you get your next million dollars in ARR? Where's it come from?

A Yeah, it's a great question. I think one thing that, that we really see as a company is that when we started this, we thought, Hey, this is a platform for marketers who are going to help build their communications. But what, what we have realized over time is that this is actually a platform for everybody in a company that needs to send out on brand communications. And so I think there is a ton of potential and expanding that beyond that marketing department to You know, in-house communications, development communications, partner communications, sales communications, like that, there's so much more to go there. And then we also do see, you know, a lot of growth potential in the platform expansion strategy, which is something that we're doubling down on right now.

Q That's right. Well, what is that target? I mean, can, can you get, I mean, can you drive additional growth to get up to five, six in ARR this year, or is that more of like a 20, 21 goal?

A Yeah. Like one of the things that happened to us during this COVID was that, you know, the Adobe summit is our biggest, uh, marketing event of the year. We put, it's, you know, that's our Superbowl for us. And, uh, you know, this year we don't get that. We don't get to interact with our customers. We don't get to see with, see them and have that FaceTime. So to me, that's really the biggest thing is, you know, is, are we going to be able to replicate that virtually? Are we going to be able to Change our marketing spend to enable us to continue to create that pipeline. And based on what we're seeing so far is flipping it to digital. Is that we're still having a lot of success driving new leads and pipeline.

Q like nine bucks free to nine bucks a month. They get a thousand customers and they don't have the courage to say, this isn't economically viable. We need to turn some of these folks off and move enterprise quadruple price points and churn their customers back down. So what is that updated number? Like, is it about a hundred customers now today or less? I mean, what's that number today?

A Yeah. I mean, First, and it's a great point, right? When, when it's very attractive to have a 99 dollar a month credit card product where people can just put in a credit card. They don't have to talk to sales. It's a very quick sale and not a lot of effort, right? But the issue with those types of customers is that just as easily as they came onto your platform, they're going to get off it as well. So what we realized, especially as a bootstrap company, was that we need to focus on our customers Who we can add the most value to who are going to pay us for that value that we're able to give them. So I can tell you, we definitely lost a lot of customers, right?
