Hey, It's Alex!

🍵 Here's Your Weekly Tea

I ride HARD for women-identifying entrepreneurs. Periodt. I love you enough to keep it , always. So I say this with soooo much love… STOP WAITING UNTIL YOU’RE READY! Last week I had a convo with a founder about funding. I was willing to make an intro on their behalf BUT they resisted. They were more focused on their idea of what ready looked like instead of taking the conversation. Here’s the problem - we get in our feelings when we see “mediocre” bros snatching up opportunities. Here's the harsh pill to swallow... That bro may be mediocre but he didn’t wait until he thought he was “ready”. Instead, he shoot his shot and he got it because WE didn’t show up. I see the “ready illusion” at an exponentially higher rate in women than men. I get it... A. We’ve been socialized in perfection and B. Perfectionism messes with our mindset making us think we're not good enough as we are, where we are. It's a sh!tty cycle.

So it's up to us to help each other out. Here's some homework

  1. This week, identify 1 thing you’ve been “waiting to be ready for” in your business and explore how to get it done.

  2. Give yourself a deadline.  

  3. Reach out to 3 founder friends and let them know. #AccountabilityIsEverythang


It’s ok to be scared but you’re going to be scared whether you wait or not. So show up for yourself and see what’s on the other side. Shoot your shot, queen! <3


Let's get into your weekly briefing!

💸 HERE'S YOUR TRACTION BRIEFING

Founder: Candice Cook | Company: RadicalMedia | Location: New York, NY

Receipts: Candice Smith is a groundbreaking business attorney and trademark strategist for helping to change the way businesses and entrepreneurs operate. She has a professional range that includes dealing with high-profile matters and crisis management.


Here's your traction playbook...



How Did The Crisis Start?


Lack of Ownership & Accountability - Continuous lack of ownership and accountability from startup founders and those in the ecosystem led to the crisis. We've gotten so accustomed to seeing people win by going against the book that when it's our turn, we replicate the process creating a negative culture that becomes entrenched in the system. We now have more and more people willing to go against their values and beliefs as long as they can achieve their bottom line.



What Have The Outcomes Been?


Failing Companies - Because of this, companies continue to crash and burn. Although founders and CEOs have freedom to execute, this freedom should not be mistaken for a lack of accountability. As Candice Cook says in the podcast, "Climbing in a silo will climb you into a mistake for your business." Independent decision-making will have you pivoting when you don't need to. It will have you making decisions that don't reflect your consumers needs and wants.



What Can Be Done?


Form An Advisory Board - "The first thing that is the most important for a founder is to know exactly who their board of advisors are. Not necessarily their board in terms of investors but who are the people who are serving as almost guardrails as this baby comes to fruition." Candice Cook. Who are your advisors? Who are you sharing business decisions with? As much we are experts in our field, there is still so much more we can learn and from various perspectives. A diverse board is a board made up of people from different walks of life, different stages in business and different upbringings. Diversity will be your company's strength.

What She Learned from Kate Spade that She Brought to Frances Valentine

Be As Scrappy As Possible - "Don’t spend any money unless it’s on product development. Be as scrappy as you can." - Elyce Arons. Elyce's biggest take away from helping run two multi-million dollar fashion brands is to be scrappy - especially in the beginning when funding is scarce and money is tight. Your product or service is the foundation of your company, and it should be your top priority. Every dollar you spend should go toward improving your product, adding features, or testing and validating your idea. Learn how she's done it twice HERE.

Hey, It's Alex!

🍵 Here's Your Weekly Tea

I’m sure you’re probably tired of hearing about the same ol’ guys getting funding. You know - Steve from Stanford. There’s a reason Steve from Stanford keeps getting funding. No, it's not what people usually complain about. I’m going to be hella real with you and you’re probably not gonna like the reality but here goes... It’s VERY rare for founders to get a deal off of an "idea" from institutional investors. There’s a HUGE difference between VCs and friends and family - don't conflate the two. In the rare chance when a "napkin deal" happens, it’s typically because that founder had a prior exit and/or has successfully fundraised before.  Can I let you in on something else? Founders who successfully fundraise signal or show investors that they can successfully raise another round because that's the name of the game. Once you raise, many founders keep raising until an exit. It's exhausting AF. How is fundraising ability signaled to investors? Through your network. Stanford Steve has access to a network that has the money to invest in the next round. Annoying? Yeah. But it is what it is. So what can you do? "Well if you don’t have that network, then you will have to raise capital on the merit of your business. That’s a higher bar to clear and requires more work and often bootstrapping." Aren't you happy Get Sh!t Done is all about that #Traction?  Get the fundraising

Let's get into your weekly briefing!

💸 HERE'S YOUR TRACTION BRIEFING

Founder: Lauren Nagel | Company: Scale It For Me, LLC | Location: San Jose, CA

Receipts: A marketing Queen and serial entrepreneur, Lauren Nagel has led marketing departments and has also scaled her business to the millions - even before seeking any funding. She's been able to do this by implementing scrappy marketing and understanding customer acquisition.


Here's your traction playbook...



How To Master Organic Marketing


Find The Voice Of Authority: Lauren Nagel's strategy for successful organic marketing is pretty straightforward. She looks for voices of authority within a specific industry. And by voices of authority, she doesn't mean traditional brand ambassadors, but rather people within the industry whose judgement and advise is trusted and sort after. People whose stamp of approval means everything. By acquiring this group of people, she is able to influence others to jump on board with her idea. Learn here how they use this strategy.


How To Validate Your Concept & Save Money


Cut Off The Middle-Man & Go Directly To Your Customers: Interview the users of your product at scale, i.e. interview as many people as possible. The best way to know if your product/service actually serves a purpose is by speaking to who it will serve. Although research from other sources is still necessary, the only way to validate your concept is by speaking and listening to your target customers. Here's how Lauren and Scale It For Me did this.



How To Lower Your Customer Acquisition Cost


Understand Your Unit Economics: - "The kind of holy grail is this LTV to CAC ratio, and you want an LTV to CAC ratio of 3:1 or greater. If your LTV to CAC is below that number stop. Reevaluate your product, create more value so you can charge more or go into a less expensive way to acquire your customer." - Lauren Nagel. The best way to know if your customer acquisition strategy makes sense is by understanding your unit economics. Get granular and find out how much is would cost to acquire one customer. Do the math. If the math doesn't add up, change your strategy and find cheaper ways to go about customer acquisition. Learn here which numbers you need to look out for when building your customer acquisition strategy.

Hey, It's Alex!

🍵 Here's Your Weekly Tea

Cardi B should be a case study on how to amplify others in business. The quintessential of "don’t talk about it, be about it." From Meg the Stallion to Normani to GloRilla. Here’s what I love about how Cardi moves - she’s unapologetically all that she is while making room for others. This is unfortunately rare in startups where we are socialized to be paranoid about "competition" and cutting each other down. The beauty of Cardi B’s collaborations is in how she speaks love into them. Many of the women she has collaborated with in the last couple of years have leveraged her star power to move ahead but she doesn’t hold that over them. On the contrary, she uses her platform to talk them up and tells the world why they deserve to be there. I rarely see this in the music industry, let alone business. None of us rise without others speaking love into us and into rooms we wouldn’t otherwise have been considered for. Remember Cardi B the next time someone needs you to speak love into them. There’s enough room for us all. Stop holding your breath.

Let's get into your weekly briefing!

💸 HERE'S YOUR TRACTION BRIEFING

Founder: Stephanie Nadi Olson | Company: We Are Rosie | Location: Atlanta, GA

Receipts: After quitting her job, Stephanie went on to create a multi-million dollar platform that connects big brands to top-notch marketers. Her success has largely come from her amazing ability to use storytelling in her sales and marketing to help her close deals and get the word out there.


Here's your traction playbook...


How To Master Sales Through Storytelling


Learn How To Tell Your Story:  "The best sales is storytelling and it’s really conversational. You don’t need to go read a book about how to sell. Go learn how to tell a story, go learn how to be really engaging in conversation, go do improv, go figure out how to listen to to people really well." - Stephanie Nadi Olson. While many people assume there's a playbook on how to be a great salesperson, they often forget the human element that comes with selling. Learning how to convey your messaging in a way that resonates and paints a picture will perhaps be the greatest sales skill you'll ever gain. Learn how Stephanie Nadi uses storytelling to boost her sales here.







How To Use Organic Marketing


Never Underestimate The Power of Word-of-Mouth: Have you ever had an experience that was so good you just had to tell your friends about it? Whether it's a new service or a new restaurant, your seal of approval would probably influence their future decisions on the same experience. Word of mouth is one of the most powerful ways that you can use to advertise your business. The key to great word of mouth marketing is providing consistently exceptional service to your customers so you are always their first referral. Here's how We Are Rosie leveraged WOMM to grow their business by 60% in one year.


How To Get People On Board With Your Vision


Communicate Your Why: We hear it all the time, define your why. The importance of having a clear why for your business is that it makes people understand you and your motivation for running your business. It is the best way to draw in not only partners, but also employees who are excited about your vision and mission for the company. Your why draws out empathy and also helps you get to your what. Here is more on Stephanie's why and how it influenced We Are Rosie's growth.

🍵 Here's Your Weekly Tea

Go Fast. Break Things.”  I’m sure you’ve heard this. We live in a microwave culture. We want things instantly. But here’s the thing about instant - it’s never that good. The startup space emulates this mentality. An analysis was done on when startups scale. Fun Fact: On average, it takes a company 49 months to start scaling. They found that startups that scale too early, fail. In addition, startups that scale fast are no more likely to succeed than their slower scaling counterparts. For most early-stage companies, scale shouldn’t be the focal point. Experimenting should be. The problem early-stage companies face when obsessing about scale results in a failure to experiment in pursuit of finding silver bullets. I’ll save you time - there are no silver bullets in the startup game. What worked for someone else, may not work for you. So stop obsessing over scale and get out there and experiment.

Let's get into your weekly briefing!

💸 HERE'S YOUR TRACTION BRIEFING

Founder: Elisa Camahort Page | Company: BlogHer Inc.    | Location: San Jose, CA

Receipts: Elisa is an OG influencer, way before influencers were a thing. By productizing her business and diversifying her revenue streams, she was able to build a media company, raise $20M and exit.


Here's your traction playbook...


How To Grow Your Revenue


Diversify, Diversify, Diversify: Did you know diversifying your revenue streams is a great way to minimize business risk? Finding creative and innovative ways to serve your existing customers means that you can give them what they want and need while not depending on one revenue source. For Elisa and BlogHer, that meant launching a web community, hosting conferences, starting a publishing network and so much more. Learn how they were able to scale their business using this strategy here.






How To Successfully Productize Your Services




What Do Your Customers Actually Want?: "These were all products that served our business, and served our customer and served our brand." - Elisa Camahort Page. What is the secret to successful productization? Finding out what your customers really want and finding different ways to provide them with services/products that will serve them. That involves deep research, speaking to them and actively listening. A good product solves a pain in a repeatable way. Get down in the ground and find out what your customers are saying and what they want.


How To Find The Right Investors


Look for Passionate Money: Find investors who believe in you and what you're doing. Investors who are aligned with your company's vision and mission. Your business will definitely pivot and change with the seasons, but your investors need to have faith in your leadership ability to navigate through those changes.  You need investors who are willing to weather the changes with you.

"We cannot be what we cannot see." Last week, the founder of Patagonia put his money where his mouth is and showed us what scaling generational impact can look like. Here’s the thing - your business will NOT save the world. Many startups seeking cash tend to partake in saviorism tactics because it makes who they’re pitching to "feel good" and quite frankly, it’s an ego boost. If done well, your company can serve - not save. However, what happens when many companies focus on serving the collective? That’s where impact lives. Toxic capitalism and the people who benefit from it, want the current system to stay in place and will tell you that what Yvon Chouinard has done with Patagonia "will not work". News flash - the current system doesn't work for 99%. Can Patagonia as a company by itself end climate change? No. But the intentional action by its founder gave us a new model of impact we can see to envision what we can become. When we start seeing, more of us can start being. That’s impact.

Founder: Susan McPherson | Company: McPherson Strategies | Location: New York, NY

Receipts: Susan is a connections wizard! She started and scaled a multi-million dollar business utilizing her strong connections, great sales techniques and hiring a winning team.



Here's your traction playbook...


How Successful Founders Get Sh!t Done


Develop The Lost Art of Connecting: "I believe the fundamental difference between networking and connecting is leading with how you can be helpful to others. And when you’re helpful to others, the help comes back." There's a lot that goes into developing a strong business connection. Similar to how you would approach personal relationships, fostering strong business connections depends on what you can do improve the life of the people you are connecting with. When was the last time you spoke to someone who made it all about them? Wasn't fun was it?






How To Build A Business Quickly



Invest In Good People: You're great at what you do - but you can't kill it at everything. Part of Susan's quick success was finding a team that could do what she couldn't and do it amazingly. While she's great at building connections, she didn't want to get stuck in the minutia of building a business. The result was quick growth that contributed to her company's success.







How To Close A Sale


Look for Signals: To successfully close a sale, you need to be a master conversationalist. That means learning to listen intently. In your listening, look for signals of your prospect's hopes and dreams because if you can be able to deliver some of their hopes and dreams then they will buy anything from you. Of course only promise to deliver what you actually can.
