20 years ago, the words “Artificial Intelligence” were more common in Hollywood than in Silicon Valley. A.I. made for great sci-fi movies... but not for good software. At best, it was a dream of what the future may be. But now, in 2021, artificial intelligence is the hottest new tech trend. Entrepreneurs are building software that can crunch data, predict outcomes and generate results with minimal human input. When the ONLY thing that matters is providing massive value to your customers, then A.I. can be the cutting edge technology that leaves your competitors for dead. Imagine having an army of robot employees. I mean... It SOUNDS great. But is there a catch? Let’s hear from Martin Cloake, the CEO at Raven.ai, a software company using artificial intelligence to optimize manufacturing processes. In this week’s GSS Expert Interview, Martin breaks down how Raven uses A.I. for growth, and covers a few other things too related to AI. Like... - Why every A.I. formula needs to account for human behaviour - Why it’s important to ask a SMALL number of questions - How to minimize time waste in ANY production - Interpreting basic data to generate clear actions - Why data without action = USELESS - How selling blinds in a store helped Martin’s engineering - Why every employee needs to know how to persuade - How to use A.I. to improve SaaS sales calls Martin is a smart guy, there’s no doubt about it. But what I love about our interview is that he takes these high-level concepts and makes them SUPER simple to understand. That’s essential to A.I. The tech that drives AI can be complex... but the actionable insights need to be simple enough for an absent-minded human to get right every time. As an example of Raven.ai’s success, they helped the Sanofi biopharma facility find $2.4M in additional factory output, even with a $230K reduction in costs. Yeah, that’s providing massive value on the back of some smart A.I. technology. Fire up the episode here and I can guarantee you’re going to learn more about where the future is heading. -- Dan Martell is a serial entrepreneur, an investor in 40+ startups like Intercom, Udemy, and Unbounce and the creator of SaaS Academy, helping over 500 B2B SaaS founders scale faster.

Download: Online Group BuilderTM - How To Build A Lead-Generating Online Group In Less Than 10 Minutes A Day - https://bit.ly/3sHKg71 -- Back in 2020, I decided to build a SaaS pond... ...an online group where SaaS founders could hang out, connect with each other, and gain massive value... All for free. But before I started the group, I had a few concerns... “Would I have to go live all the time?” “How would I keep up with engagement?” “Will the people in the group create value without me prompting them to?” And the biggest concern was... “What if this group fails and ends up a half-baked wasteland for everyone else online to see?” If you’ve also had these concerns, I got your back in this week’s episode of the Growth Stacking Show. Here’s how to build an online group where you can fish for ideal customers to your heart's content. In this week’s episode, we’ll go over the following strategies: - How to start your group on the right foot (how to name your group, brand it, and how to get people through the door)... - A mind-blowing strategy I learned from my coach Taki for getting potential buyers to automatically raise their hand (without you saying ANYTHING)... - A smooth tactic to start conversations with group members about your services without coming across as pitchy or salesy... - How to prepare content so you get it all done in a fraction of the time (I do this for all my content so it doesn’t take time away from my other priorities)... - When’s the right time to go fishing in your pond for new opportunities and how to drop strategic hooks... Plus a ton of other cool stuff. Using the strategies I’m about to share with you, we quickly grew our SaaS group from 100 founders to over 3000! And although there’s no cost to join... It creates opportunities left right and center for us to introduce our coaching services. It’s like a private pond I get to go fishing at every week for perfect-fit clients. And know what? It can work for your SaaS too. Online groups are a MASSIVE lead gen opportunity for SaaS businesses. Be sure to watch this episode from start to finish, and discover how to leverage online groups to build a lead pumping machine. (Also don’t forget to leave a comment on your #1 takeaway.)

Exclusive Resource: Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster – My Strategy for Overcoming The Daily Ups & Downs of the Entrepreneurial Life and Creating a Bigger Impact - https://bit.ly/34RWZtM -- 2020 sucked. Not only for businesses... but for families, communities and economies around the world. Working closely with SaaS founders means I’ve heard the pains, seen the panic and talked through the new reality of Covid 19 for many struggling startups. Some businesses have a model that lets them bend rather than break. Others... aren’t so fortunate. I spoke with a business owner recently whose brick-and-mortar company was destroyed by Covid 19, losing 70% of business overnight. But here’s the thing... It’s not the pandemic that made entrepreneurship difficult. It was ALWAYS hard, from the start. That’s just how the Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster goes. You’ll experience the greatest highs followed by crushing lows. So how do you DEAL with that? How do you survive without quitting or... just falling to pieces? I’ve been there enough times to have formed a system of thinking that will reignite and reinvigorate you even when the world is cruel and the odds seem stacked against you. Here it is. In this video, I’m going to share a high-level set of tactics that will work to: - Give you hope when your business collapses - Help you break through unexpected barriers - Re-define your business goals - Remain grateful in the face of disappointment - Keep you motivated despite entrepreneurial challenges This video includes 5 key questions to ask yourself today. Wrong questions always lead to the wrong answers... But these 5 questions are how you can realign your thinking with something positive and actionable.

The Martell Method w/ Dan Martell - Finding a Co-Founder | How to Find The Perfect Partner & Split Equity Fairly
play

12/14/20 • 10 min

Exclusive Download: Dream 100 - Learn How to Identify The 100 People That Will Transform Your Life - https://bit.ly/2KepM4z -- If you want to start a new SaaS business in 2021 without tearing your hair out, my advice is: Find a co-founder. You shouldn’t have to do it all on your own... and it’s better that you don’t. Finding the right co-founder means having someone who will work just as hard as you, can do the things you can’t, and gives your business a fighting chance in the market. If you’re a non-technical founder, that could mean finding someone technical. You grow the business, they build the product. Or if you are a technical founder, then it means finding someone that can help you assemble a world-class team and market your product effortlessly while you write the code. But picking the wrong co-founder spells D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. You end up losing a big slice of the most valuable asset in your business: Equity. Don’t ever, EVER, EVER give equity to the wrong co-founder. So how do you find the right co-founder? How do you track them down and get them interested? How do you negotiate a fair equity split? I’ve got you covered. This week’s video is the 5-steps to finding the perfect co-founder for your startup. We’re going to break this down logically and uncover:

What to look for in a co-founder

Where to find a technical co-founder

How to know they are right for you

What to say on your first introduction

How to discuss equity

The safest way to split equity fairly

Every SaaS company I’ve launched has been with co-founders. I even launched Spheric with a co-founding team of 4. Could I have launched my businesses entirely on my own? Maybe. But growth would have been slower, I’d have torn my hair out, and my family life would have suffered. I like working with people... and my businesses are better for it. Yours can be too.

The Martell Method w/ Dan Martell - 3 Cutting Edge SaaS Marketing Strategies That Work In 2021

--

I believe that great SaaS founders stay ahead of the curve.

They’re the trendsetters, not the trend-followers, willing to try something new that makes waves in the market.

The problem is that I’ve encountered many cutting edge SaaS businesses whose marketing efforts are too far behind the times.

They innovate in software, but hedge their bets in marketing.

Then when a new marketing strategy gains momentum, these businesses are left scrambling to catch up to their competitors that have since overtaken them.

Innovators get the lion’s share of the growth.

That’s why I believe that you need to siphon off a portion of your marketing budget for more cutting edge strategies that have the potential for HUGE returns on investment.

But what strategies?

I got you covered :)

I coach hundreds of SaaS founders to help them grow and scale their businesses with innovative new strategies. 

I get to see behind-the-scenes which marketing strategies are working and which aren’t.

Based on what I’ve observed first-hand, here are 3 powerful marketing strategies that are rarely used in SaaS but have created high ROI in 2020 and will continue to in 2021.

If you were to apply all 3 marketing strategies, then you would have:

- Higher customer retention rates - A system that funds your marketing costs - A way to leverage volunteer communities - Direct access to your perfect fit customers - Authority in your niche - A platform to showcase your best customers - A system for 1-on-1s with potential B2B clients

I’ll keep an ear out in my networks for any other scalable, high ROI marketing strategies that are working.

If I find more, I’ll send them to your inbox. 

But for now, I know these 3 marketing strategies work because I’ve seen it first-hand with my clients.

Have you tried any? Are you concerned it won’t work for you?

Let me know in the comments, I’ll do my best to help.

The Martell Method w/ Dan Martell - How to Calculate Your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) in 3 Easy Steps!

Exclusive Resource:  Precision Scorecard™ - Keep Your Leadership Team Focused & Accountable To Growth - https://bit.ly/3jm3PMv 

--

When I was 29 years old, I was pitching to investors for funding

I’d breezed through my pitch deck, million-dollar smile on my face despite my shaky nerves when they asked:

What’s your CAC?

‘Yeeeah! I got this’, I thought to myself.

CAC stands for ‘Customer Acquisition Cost’ and I had done the math. Smugly, I dropped an impressive number.

The investor’s eye’s lit up.

“Really? Wow!... But is that your Fully Loaded CAC?”

The room went so quiet you would hear a pin drop.

My jaw hung open, and I still cringe when I think of the dumbfounded deer-in-the-headlights look on my face.

All I could think was, "What the heck does fully loaded mean?”

I made a fool of myself that day.

Today I’m going to show you how to calculate your Customer Acquisition Cost - fully loaded - in just 3 easy steps so you never look like a fool in front of anyone.

If you want to make investors drool over a stake in your company, then you’ve got to know your numbers.

See, investors want to avoid risk at ALL costs.

They’ll pass on a promising business if the founder doesn’t know the right numbers

Numbers don’t lie, and neither does your fully loaded CAC. This is a quick dose of metrics-math.

The Martell Method w/ Dan Martell - How To Cut Toxic People Out of Your Life - Guilt Free!

Exclusive Resource: Dream 100 – Learn How to Identify The 100 People That Will Transform Your Life - https://bit.ly/2T8CwL2

--

Have you ever wanted to cut a toxic person out of your life before?

It’s a more common feeling than you think.

Maybe there’s an old high school friend, a buddy from college, a distant relative… Whoever it is, you know in your gut that this person is toxic and brings negative energy to most conversations.

The question is:

Is it ok to cut them out of your life?

I think it is.

Negative influences can distort your self-belief and cause you to lose faith in your pursuit of a better life. It’s important to do something about those damaging relationships.

But there is a right way to cut people out. 

(Don’t be an @sshole!)

The more you grow and change, the more you realize that some people you know just don’t support your growth.

Here’s how to cut people out of your life and move towards building a network of positive people without feeling guilty.

Maybe this is a topic that makes you feel uncomfortable, but remember this: I went to rehab when I was 17 years old.

I was the toxic kid that other people needed to cut off. 

And I knew it.

A big part of my rehabilitation was to cut myself off from other negative people and build a supportive network of positivity while learning to be a positive influence on others too.

It made my growth possible.

If you want to grow, I believe you need to take a ‘friendventory’ and think carefully about your network.

If you do it the right way, it is not selfish.

It could be exactly what you need right now. Don’t you think?

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
