    Thanks, Brian, really valuable. The branded newsletter is great, I think for ET, you had the trends to share, might be trickier for a SaaS that doesn’t have data readily available like that. And, SEO ftw.

    Brian, I love what you're doing, and wasn't thinking of going to market free. I'm building an high-powered software which digitally prevents recruiting ghosting, and integrates with any of their CRM’s which connects all of the behind-the-scenes software in a cohesive manner. With AI, it becomes the much-needed co-pilot so to increase/ improve Brand recognition and speed up the time-to-hire from an average of 68 to 28 days. More importantly, it garners accountability from the hiring manager, 51% of whom are disengaged. Its what's needed to complete the recruiting and hiring circle in a uniform, transparent, honest, and predictive manner. It's two products so far, and its been me and a full-stack developer/ student. I wonder how it would work within your wonderful ecosystem?

    Great video. Interestingly you said that you don't know WHY MRR started increasing again. Sounds like you aren't monitoring or asking your customers for systematic feedback to understand the customer experience and satisfaction. It's easier than you think and it answers all the "what" and "why" about changes in satisfaction and customer experience.

    • @ArtisZ

      @BrianDean0 I'm confused though on the fact you would reply "Yo" to a lot of entries in your comment section. I don't think it's something that changes how RUclips perceives your video nor does it get engagement. So, why? Honestly curious..

    • @ArtisZ

      @BrianDean0.. Is this an automatic bot?

    • @ArtisZ
      @ArtisZ 11 месяцев назад

      @BrianDean0... So, you programmed a bot, that deletes your previous "yo" and adds a new "yo". I can't figure if it's genius or scamy.

  • @vlad6703
    @vlad6703 Год назад +2

    Brian, you've mentioned you're doing 3-4 launches in a year that help you convert prospects from the newsletter into paid customers. What is a launch? The release of a new feature? I mean, that makes sense, but if you're planning to ship features faster (2-3 weeks per feature) that means you're planning to have more launches (3 emails per launch, right?) Aren't you afraid this would spam and potentially decrease the value of your newsletter?

    • @BrianDean
      @BrianDean  Год назад

      We usually package a number of improvements into a "new and improved" or "3.0, 4.0, 5.0" etc. version of the product. That way, we have a legit reason for launching. But it's not like we're doing a launch every 2-3 weeks

    • @BrianDean
      @BrianDean  Год назад +1

      I'd definitely be patient. But you should see SOME traction within 3-6 months. If not, it's probably time to reevaluate your product, model etc.

    • @elviswilliams3393
      @elviswilliams3393 Год назад

      @MorganJasper-ov3sy Okay but is not luck, is all about having good investment plans most of all trading with a trust worthy expert.
      Watching professional trading videos and most especially connecting with the right person the digital world is full of in unreal people I met some of them during my success journey. I felt same way when I started especially when you use demo account you might be winning but when you put in real money you start losing I understand and I pass through it all. I’m very happy I’m profitable now.

      @DoctorJamesMorganFrank Currently i can attest to the fact that I
      make $15k weekly through trading
      which is more better then my monthly salary job. Trading becomes my passive
      income.
