When people think dev docs, Stripe is usually what comes to mind. Easy to use and nice to look at. But what isn’t immediately obvious is how hard it is to nail simplicity. Just finished reading this interview with Edwin from Stripe, and there’s a lot of good information about the right ways to engage with an audience, track success, and how far a hand written note can go (or 2 cans of custom tennis balls). https://lnkd.in/gXQUBtCn

🚀 RevOps: The Silent Powerhouse Behind Sales + Marketing 🎯 After talking about Sales and Marketing alignment, Wendy Lampert would kill me if I didn’t mention the rockstar role RevOps plays. Here’s a high level snapshot of how RevOps comes into play: 1. Unified Vision: - RevOps gets Sales and Marketing on the same page, eyeballing that common revenue goal. 🎯 2. Operational Smarts: - Smooth operations? RevOps has it nailed, turning strategy sketches into real actions. 🛠️ 3. Data Magic: - With a knack for numbers, RevOps turns data points into decision points. 📊 4. Tech Stack Taming: - RevOps sorts through the tech tangle, making sure our tools are assets, not obstacles. 🔧 5. Process Prowess: - RevOps fine-tunes processes so that Sales and Marketing can move fast, together. 🔄 RevOps isn’t just fixing things; it’s fueling a smarter, tighter Sales + Marketing bond. It’s the unsung hero quietly ramping up the revenue game. Big shoutout to RevOps, the silent maestro orchestrating a tighter, brighter Sales + Marketing team-up. #RevOps #SalesMarketingTeamUp #SilentMaestro #RevenueRampUp

"Compound interest is humankind's greatest invention—and growth loops are the best example of this." In growth, leverage is everything. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐬 🔁 create unfair advantage in your go-to-market strategy. Here are 5 types of growth loops we defined with Ognjen Bošković: 1️⃣ 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩: Product-related content shared on other platforms brings new users into the ecosystem.  2️⃣ 𝐔𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩: Users create something (video, prototype, email, stats) and share it, driving more engagement.  3️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩: Users start creating an asset (website, code, design, email, etc.) and invite colleagues to co-create and collaborate.  4️⃣ 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫-𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩: Users discover the platform through content and start creating more, attracting even more users.  5️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩: After experiencing the product's value, users invite others in exchange for incentives (credits, premium features, compensation). Here are some growth loop examples (that aren't Dropbox 🤠 ).

Busy day today. Working through some major van build progress, and doing some Shopify & Klaviyo coursework. Just came off a roller coaster of emotions the past few weeks, and more is coming down the pipe. Left my full time role in real estate compliance a few weeks back Just closed out my contract role with Rumpl end of October Gave 30 day notice to end my lease (van touring inbound) And had 3 back to back interviews in #ecommerce for 3 brands in the #outdoorindustry I really admired! One company asked for 3-5 years, but really wanted extended tenure --- didn’t get passed the recruiter Another wanted a particular software experience --- didn’t get passed the recruiter And last one was amazing. A dream opportunity for me in my opinion.  20/10 stoke. All the boxes were checked. No way I was getting bored there. Went really well, or so I thought (few subpar responses I've ruminated on). Had 2 interviews with hiring manager & exec. But ultimately, didn’t go my way. I’ve applied to hundreds of roles over the years, looking for that gem. Just a few dozen interviews. And really only a handful got me truly excited (who wants to work right? They need to hit the sweet spot to convince me) That last opportunity was over the moon for me, excited to the core. And its rejection by far hurt the most, more than any other. Lost too much sleep in prep & in anticipation, and lost too much in mourning. Just a little devastated haha……  Wasn’t in the cards for me I guess, it was open for someone else. Another will come. Busy weekend ahead, hoping to mentally shake it off and reset. Continue to do my thing, improve, and come back stronger.

No need to wait for big-name logos or a flood of testimonials to prove your brand's worth. Start building website credibility right now with these 3 steps: 1. 💪Your team is your strongest asset. Show off their backgrounds and expertise. CEO led a team at Amazon? Head of R&D has a PhD from MIT? Each team member's story can boost your company's credibility. 2. 🚀 Your product can build its own social proof even if it doesn’t have paying customers. Share metrics that show your product in action—for example, if it’s technical, the number of security issues identified, or the amount of data processed each month.   3. 📊 If you’re tackling an industry-wide headache, let the facts and figures do the talking. Illustrate the problem you’re solving with data, making it crystal clear why the world is better off with your solution. Check out our full post for more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehcYgwEr
