The interviewed I mentioned earlier got rescheduled due to technical difficulties, but it is now up on Mixergy’s site. You can see it here.
Topics include:
- Why would teachers want to play bingo anyhow?
- How did you pull this off while full-time employed?
- What is it like being a Japanese salaryman?
- What is the next product? (Spoiler: Not telling you yet, come back in May.)
- How did you get traction early at the start?
- How do you make your processes more reliable to maximize on the effectiveness of your time?
I’m pretty happy with how it came out, although given that it was about 2 in the morning when I recorded it due to time zone differences, sometimes my ability to speak in coherent sentences leaves a bit to be desired. If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or there.
Peldi from Balsamiq, who is hugely inspiring to the rest of the uISV community and myself, was interviewed for over an hour earlier this week on Mixergy. Go watch it. Everything he says about customer service, building remarkable products, early marketing (his post on the subject contains some of the best advice I’ve ever read), and competition just knocks it out of the park.
Earlier this week, I went to a small massage parlor which is located at the mall next to my house. There are three attendants on duty at any given time. I was a “walk-in” (no appointment) and ordinarily would not have been able to see someone quickly, but luckily for me two clients had failed to make their appointments. That was rather unlucky for the firm, though: two clients not at their appointments means two massage therapists not seeing anyone, and that costs them $2 a minute in direct economic losses.
