271. Reducing Risk To Fuel 60% Growth With a Gig Economy Business Model Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

Reducing risk is a huge lever scaling startups can use to their advantage.

This was a big theme in my conversation with Match.com co-founder, and current CEO of BabyQuip, Fran Maier.

BabyQuip is the world’s largest baby gear rental marketplace, empowering thousands of independent contractors around the country to build successful side hustles, while helping families travel more easily. In today’s case study, Fran details how they were able to grow their network of these independent contractors (AKA Quality Providers) by 60% in one year by alleviating as much risk as possible for their providers.

From streamlined tech infrastructure, to added insurance coverage, to offering trainings and negotiating discounts with partners on their behalf, Fran has made it a no brainer for motivated mothers to partner with BabyQuip in this gig economy business model.

Keep listening to get creative ideas on how to prioritize lowering risk in your own business to drive growth!

Bonus: Is There A “Best Location” For Your Business? Using Astrocartography To Predict Success Oct 09, 2024

Show notes

We hear it all the time: location, location, location. But what if this concept didn’t just apply to real estate and could actually impact the success of your business? Imagine having answers to where to move to support your next big uplevel, what city to host your conference in, or what geographic area your dream clients are most concentrated. Astrocartography does just that. Sandra Nelly is an astrocartographer and relocation astrologer working on the intersection of astrology and the topics of travel, careers, and business. She helps business owners unlock their cosmic blueprint through their personal and business' birth chart (yes businesses can have birth charts too). Curious?

267. She Sold Her Business For 7 Figures To Private Equity & Later Bought It Back For 6 Figures Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

We’ve had a few guests on the show who have sold their businesses, but this case study is the first time we’ve explored what it looks like to buy your business back post-exit.

After building BestSelf Co. to $45 million in sales, Cathryn Lavery sold her company to private equity in 2022 for 7 figures. She remained involved in the company as a brand ambassador, but watched as they made big changes that did little to grow the business.

Then last year, she was given the once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the business back for pennies on the dollar - a six figure sum - when the private equity firm decided to close down. Now with a second chance to rebuild more sustainably, Cathryn is applying what she learned from her first go-around and taking notes on what the private equity firm did well and where they fell short to fix the mistakes she’s inherited.

Was it worth it? Here’s the full scoop.

266. From $10K Months to $10K DAYS: Why This CEO Prioritizes Educating Buyers Over Selling Product Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

Did you know there's a link between flossing habits and cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia?

Learning this from Brynn Snyder, Co-founder and CEO of Slate Flosser, literally had me reaching for a floss post-interview.

Today’s case study is a real-time example of how prioritizing problem education over product education can drive action (and sales) much faster.

Through a 3 pronged, education-first marketing approach of trade shows, organic content, and influencer campaigns with dental professionals, Slate Flosser’s sales have increased by 20%, going from $10K months to experiencing $10K sales days.

Here’s Brynn’s take on how problem awareness changes user behavior and drives purchasing power.

265. Increasing Average Order Value by 20% and Converting First Time Buyers With a Product Add-On Sep 23, 2024

Show notes

Today’s case study is a lesson in using customer feedback to evolve your brand. Despite uniquely positioning themselves as frameless prints for 15 years, Fracture recently made a surprising move.

When Meredith English, who led teams at well-known consumer brands like Crocs and Daily Harvest, became the new CEO of Fracture, she recognized the customer demand for a framed option of their signature frameless glass photo prints, and took a calculated risk to roll out this product add-on.

Introducing this add-on to their checkout resulted in a 20% increase in their average order value, improved their customer acquisition costs, and finally converted fence-sitters who had been sitting for ages on their email list into paying customers.

Here’s exactly how Fracture made this decision and launched this add-on, and when it's smart to adapt your business to grow alongside your customers’ evolving preferences.
