The Subscription Box Show

Today is our weekly solo show of the week where we focus on a specific topic that I am seeing around the subscription industry. What is that one thing people are asking more about than others. And in this episode, I have a special guest host, well sort of. I will be sharing part of a conversation I had with SFG Network’s Director of Partner Services, Ken Smith, on everything to do with failed payments and how to deal with declined credit cards for your subscription box.

In this episode, we will drive straight into the world of shipping with an international shipping expert. As subscription box entrepreneurs, shipping has quickly become our biggest foe. We need it, but we loathe the lack of control we have over it. Or should we? I dive into the world of shipping and logistics with none other than Dan Morton of InXpress Shipping!

Dan Morton has always been attracted to disruptive technologies and was fortunate to have a front row seat at several large technology companies during the heydays of the dot com explosion....and subsequent implosion.

Dan has always been focused on driving growth by developing strategic partnerships and looking to create new value by solving his partners needs. After several years as a CMO in an early stage tech company in Houston, Texas USA, Dan decided to pivot and pursue his own business dream with a focus on helping fellow business owners. Shipping and logistics had just the right amount of complexity and was going to benefit from the new technology platforms that put more power in the hands of the business owner.

Dan works closely with business owners to learn about their objectives and helps them develop shipping strategies that achieve their short and long term goals. So if after the episode you’d like to connect with Dan to see if InXpress would be a fit for you and your subscription box business, you can reach him by clicking his contact link in this episode’s show notes.

In this episode a legend in our industry makes his third appearance! He is the co-founder at Busterbox, an extremely popular dog subscription box out of Ireland. He’s also the creator of Subscription Box Experts Academy. An extremely popular and successful program that has helped hundreds of box owners like myself get to the next level and scale! He also hosts a weekly Clubhouse (boooo) chat with subscription’s most eligible bachelor Stefan Pretty, the founder of Subbly. He is extremely busy...he lives and breathes subscriptions, I am of course talking about none other than Liam Brennan!

I have been following Liam’s content since the very beginning when it was just his emails and Facebook posts. Now, just a few short years later, Liam has grown Busterbox to a multi-million dollar subscription box company which has served 10’s of thousands of happy members.

It’s also easy to look at companies and founders like Liam and think: “Oh yeah, I wish I could grow my company to that size. I wish I was able to do this or that or scale to X amount of subscribers or knew how to do ....name your subscription thing. Or worst, I wish I was as lucky as them...

Guys, what people don’t see is the years of work. The years of stress, fear and not knowing if you’ll make this month's bills. It is not a sprint. It took Liam, Gary and Paul years of mistakes, failures and learning, testing to grow to where they are today. Subscriptions are a long term plan, marathon. Not a get rich quick or overnight success story.

On this episode, Liam and I will talk shop on all things subscriptions and more importantly, how to utilize and take advantage of a tool that is out there right now. Like right now. We discuss his new subscription program and why it might just be what you need! I tee’d it up on last week’s Focus Friday, and today we deep dive into what is all involved and included in his new program. Guys... Let me tell you personally, it is amazing and mind blowing what you will get from not only this episode, but of course from Liam’s new course.

In this episode, we deep dive into the importance of all the different numbers, and what they mean to your business. That and everything about subscription analytics with my guest today which is none other than the VP of Business Operations at Sublytics, Mr. Walter Long!

Walter Long is passionate about leveraging technology and data to help subscription merchants create greater profitability and scale.

Walter’s experience in the subscription industry goes back to 2002, where he managed sales efforts for a subscription DRTV brand that grew to $150M in ARR, or annual recurring revenue. No small feat.

Since then, he’s been in a number of key roles in SaaS businesses that support the subscription industry and has been a featured speaker at Subscription Summit.

Walter loves collaborating as a Co-Chair in SUBTA’s Growth and Marketing Committee among other subscription industry data geeks.
