@petersuhm Why does it make you want to start a new company? 🤔

RT @polluterofminds: This has always bothered me as well. Great breakdown of the nuance involved in picking your market.

Gmail is another popular product that serves a spectrum of customers.

Consumers get access to the same functionality (for free) that enterprise customers pay for (Documents, Sheets, and Drive).

The only difference is that B2E gets admin tools layered on top.

B2Many mirrors what we've seen with the BYOD, Consumerization of IT, and Shadow IT movements that upended the enterprise market.

The iPhone is a great B2C device that has also replaced BlackBerry in the B2B context.

@DKThomp 💯

For many categories, B2B and B2C users want the same thing: a simple, user-friendly product that gets the job done.

With Gmail, consumers can access the apps that enterprise Google Workspace customers pay for (Docs, Sheets).

The UX for a consumer and an enterprise employee is…

@mikecodemonkey Yup. It's such a glaring contrast to where we are today.

I'm hoping that kind of civility makes a comeback.

@cgimmer Generally, Helen and Michael will still check it on weekends but less frequently.

@tnorthcutt This particular tweet got 135,000 views, and responses extended well outside my network.

It’s possible that respondents don’t live in cheap places, but it seems fairly representative of other data I’ve seen.

@TheCryptoFool Which city/region are you in?

@markjaquith Who's right. 😅

Are you talking about a Tampa suburb?

@mitchiru is that in USD?

@eloffd which city?

@mateusjatenee Which city?

@femkesvs Victoria?

@benkershner Which city/region?

@jboogee79 Are you in Chicago proper, or suburbs?

@TechEnby 👍 thanks!

@TechEnby In Chicago/suburb of Chicago?

@jontybehr In London?

@daniel_nguyenx Gorgeous!

@climatepaige C’mon! Show me the receipts.

@p_millerd Yup

@dqmonn Yes. I already posted an adjusted formula yesterday. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1811495480985059748

@onurozer These are the stats I found:

•Americans drink an average of 399 servings of Coke products per year, with 63% of those servings being Coca-Cola Classic.
•Mexicans drink 665 servings of Coca-Cola products every year.

Also leaving reviews in all the places

"The software business is a volume business." – @ianlandsman

If you sell a monthly subscription, there are two levers you can pull to increase sales volume:

- Price (raise prices or increase expansion revenue)
- Number of net new customers

Purchase frequency (1/month) x Price ($99/month) x Number of new customers (200) = sales volume

Exactly this.

In the wedding industry, you have to capture all the LTV $ in a single transaction.

And... next month you've got to find a whole new group of customers.

https://x.com/yogeshkd/status/1811491526037618938

@yogeshkd Exactly. Very low purchase frequency!

@meoyawn Coffee has the advantage of being a socially acceptable drug.

@asmartbear @zapier For me, the truly useful applications of AI (and APIs) require a connectivity that just isn’t there: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1811112746102227203

@JordanGal That feels like a UX challenge!

How are you managing to get consistent output when prompts can vary so greatly?

@katarinabatina love

@EcomAlistair @browserbots Like... give browserbots my bank login info so it can login, navigate to that page, and download the PDFs?

This is the main challenge.

For AI/APIs to be useful, true connectivity between systems needs to be achieved.

In so many ways, we're still in the dark ages in this regard: very difficult to connect with data in banks, governments, big corps.

https://x.com/adii/status/1811109535463158026

@adii But how will it be different (this time around) than it was with APIs?

Technically, APIs/Plaid should be able to efficiently deliver my bank statements to my accounting software and my accountant.

But often:

a) they break, aren't reliable
b) aren't available for certain tasks…

@VicVijayakumar This feels like the right answer.

@arsawatt lol. Just the tribute

@Aspiiire1 🎯

@logan_codes @adamwathan Thanks! 🙏

@TheCustomerGuy You made the statement: "Worst customer support nightmares are caused by hitting PMF with a B2C product."

I disagree with that statement.

@shaneharter "The hard way."

It was way easier than other B2B products I've worked on.

Started working on it with partner in 2018. We were both full-time in 2019.

(My friends at Tailwind, Fathom Analytics, etc had a similar experience)

Biz can be challenging in B2C, B2P, B2B, and B2E.

@mateusjatenee @adamwathan Lol. Why any of the @laravelphp community puts up with me is beyond me. 🤣

@TheCustomerGuy Sure, that's your N=1.

At our company, we have:

- low churn (1.9% last month)
- 0.02% Stripe disputes
- strong LTV

Plus:

- we enjoy giving customer support to our customers (live chat)
- we have a calm business, where team members enjoy their job

@shaneharter Since 2018, I've run a SaaS that targets consumers, and we have:

- low churn (1.9% last month)
- 0.02% Stripe disputes
- strong LTV

Plus:

- we enjoy giving customer support to our customers (live chat)
- we have a calm business, where team members enjoy their job

@nickbona User acquisition can be challenging in B2C, B2P, B2B, and B2E.

@shaneharter That's just not universally true though.

That mindset precludes you from exploring opportunities where there might be a high monthly sales volume $$$, with reasonably low expenses.

@dvassallo 🎯

@TheCustomerGuy I know that's the trope.

But I've run a B2P SaaS (with many hobbyist consumers) since 2018 and haven't found that true.

@Career_Strat @arvidkahl @hackersincpod @adamwathan I'd be curious to see that research. 👍

The only research I could find was here:

They came to this conclusion:

"Traditionally, interviews have not been valid predictors of success on the job."

This is exactly my point: existing relationships (following…

@javadihugo @adamwathan It might be this! https://twitter.com/dylanatsmith/status/1794722682275246143

Which do you use? https://twitter.com/adamwathan/status/1794695166747689128

@stephenrobles Thanks!

I love it when @calebporzio does voices on Notes on Work,

Example 2:

Once you decide to start an email newsletter, you're in motion, hurtling down the river.

Your next decision is: @mailchimp or @ConvertKit?

If ConvertKit promotes how many creators use their product, that might convince you to choose them.

That's marketing!
