Today's podcast guest is proof that one great idea can change everything. Jimmy Gould is an entrepreneur and inventor who left behind a lucrative career in finance to develop a simple solution with a profound impact. His patented product, SoapStandle, is a tool that attaches to bar soap and elevates it to allow better airflow and extends its life by up to 30% – all while preventing slippery messes in the shower. Since founding his company in 2018, Jimmy has now sold nearly one million SoapStandles. In this episode, he shares his experience with product development and the ins and outs of running a successful product-based business. Landing on a great product idea Jimmy was enjoying a successful career in finance when he stumbled – literally – onto the idea for SoapStandle. After dropping his soap in the shower one too many times, he decided to invent a solution himself. The first SoapStandle prototype was built from modeling clay. Jimmy was amazed to discover that his invention not only prevented the soap from becoming slippery but also extended the lifetime of each bar by 20-30%. Soon he was 3D printing duplicate products for his friends. The first batch of products got great feedback, and when Jimmy couldn't find any companies doing something similar, he decided to patent his idea. What began as a side business – with Jimmy 3D printing products out of his garage and sanding each SoapStandle by hand – soon became a legitimate company. With over 100K SoapStandles purchased to date, the brand has had great success marketing directly to consumers on Amazon and their website. They're now looking to expand into retail and partner with more businesses that have bars to sell. Traits of a successful entrepreneur Although Jimmy's prior experience in commission-based sales prepared him for the risks of starting a company, there was still a fair amount of learning on the job. As any founder knows, you need to wear many different hats – from marketing to manufacturing, legal, operations, and more. Now that the business has grown to the multi-six-figure mark in annual revenue, Jimmy is refocusing his attention on what he does best: sales. At this stage, that's what will keep the company growing, and Jimmy intends to devote more of his time to selling while he considers the possibility of hiring a full-time salesperson. He reminds us that without an effective sales engine, the rest of your business will fall apart. While sales is an essential skill for all entrepreneurs, there are also several personality traits that Jimmy credits for his success. Optimism is essential – especially when you get tired of hearing “no” over and over again. Jimmy is quick to point out that every no gets you one step closer to a yes. Curiosity is equally as important, especially for anyone in product development. Choosing your growth channel When starting a product-based business (or any business), you need to consider which channels will be most effective for reaching customers. SoapStandle has been very successful selling direct-to-consumer – other products may do better in wholesale or retail. One method that's worked well for SoapStandle is partnering with other soap bar providers like Dr. Squatch Soaps. If you're looking for new avenues to sell your product, consider partnering with businesses that serve a similar market. As the business continues to grow, SoapStandle is now looking to expand into new markets – at home in the US and around the world. Tune into this conversation with Jimmy Gould to hear the full story… Quotes “Even as a little kid, I tried to figure stuff out. If I was supposed to cut the grass every week, I thought there must be an easier way to do this. I would look for patterns to save myself 10 minutes.” “Because it's a patented product, I can exercise on pricing a bit more. That's worked over the past few years as far as scaling into producing more and selling more. If those margins weren't as good, it would have been much more difficult to do.” “If we don't manage the sales process correctly, then all this other stuff doesn't matter.” “Soap is used all over the world. There's nothing national or regional about using our product. People in South America will find it just as useful as people here do.” “We're trying to be flexible. I don't want to spread myself too thin, but I think it can succeed on each of those levels. There's no reason why we can't sell direct-to-consumer and also be in Target and also have partnerships.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for SoapStandle: https://www.soapstandle.com/ Check out SoapStandle on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/SoapStandle/page/0704B651-94C8-41F8-BF6B-A281DB006935?ref_=ast_bln Connect with Jimmy Gould on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/soapstandle/about/ More industry articles and facts about bar soap: barsoapinfo.com

The $100M mark is a unicorn in the software industry, as well as in many others. But Stijn Hendrikse has done it – and he found a duplicatable solution to help you do it too. Stijn is the Author of T2D3: How some software startups scale, where many fail, a book written for early-stage SaaS leaders who want to build their go-to-market toolkit. T2D3 stands for Triple Triple Double Double Double: The idea that you can triple annual revenue 2 years in a row, only to double it 3 more years after that – to ultimately reach that $100 million annual recurring revenue mark. It sounds like a rarity, but it is possible. By using Stijn's tips in sales, marketing and niching down, entrepreneurs and founders can turn their SaaS companies into wild successes and stay true to the power of their ideas. Stijn has contributed to the success of 10+ startups as a C-level executive, including Chief Revenue Officer of Acumatica and CEO of MightyCall, a SaaS contact center solution. Stijn founded Kalungi - the global leading Growth-as-a-Service provider focused solely on B2B SaaS companies, and Amy.us, an AI-powered conversation platform that allows small business owners to service their customers better. Stijn has served as CMO and CEO for multiple B2B SaaS companies, including MightyCall and Acumatica. Stijn led Global SMB Marketing and B2B Product Marketing for Office at Microsoft, including the launch of Office 365 and the adoption of the Open XML ISO 29500 Standard. A shift from quantity to quality Stijn agrees that software as an industry has boomed for the past 15 years since the great economic recession. However, he shares that this growth comes at a significant cost. Just 5-10 years ago, companies focused on rapid growth achieved their goals. They quickly expanded, cutting corners and taking shortcuts. The mindset was growth at all costs - and it shows in their lack of infrastructure. Now, Stijn points out that companies who did exceptionally well a decade ago were not built to last. They are struggling to retain clients with the introduction of new technologies such as generative AI, as suddenly their customers are going elsewhere. In his book and in this episode, Stijn encourages us to look beyond traditional measures of success and evaluate our businesses with an open mind. We should ask ourselves: When someone lands on our website, how many stay, and for what? How many sign up for our product or service? How many are recurring customers? How many recommend it to others?” In order to evaluate our businesses, he reminds us that the most frustrating mistake he sees is when entrepreneurs fail to establish real product-market-fit: Defined on wikipedia as “the degree to which a product satisfies a strong market demand.” This comes down to doing your research. What value are you adding to the market – and what value will you continue to add? Depth over width in business growth When SaaS Founders consider methods to reach the $100M mark, they often think that they have to appeal to a wide range of members or customers to achieve their goals. But Stijn shares that this is not the case. By focusing on width, you are more likely to score temporary users. You'll ultimately spend more money this way, especially in the marketing process. It's smarter and more effective to target specific users who will become diehard fans of your product. They are more likely to recommend it to others, use it for years and get excited when new features launch. This saves you money in advertising dollars and builds a more solid foundation for your company to thrive. It also helps you focus your efforts in the right places. In a competitive market like SaaS, competitors will come out of the woodwork offering cheaper or better features. However, your users are more likely to stay when you focus on their needs, ask them questions about what features they'd like to see, and serve the clients you already have rather than focusing on new ones. Enjoy this exciting wisdom from SaaS entrepreneur and Author Stijn Hendrikse… Quotes “Marketing and sales can be really hard for founders. You often have a founder who is either an engineer who found a problem to solve, or a subject matter expert, like a dentist who builds software for clients in the dental industry. Neither have real sales or marketing backgrounds! I founded a company called Kalungi where founders of companies, when they are ready to go talk with the world and scale, can do that!” “After the 2008 financial crisis, things have gone really well in the world of software and SaaS business. But it was about growth at any expense – and it's coming back to a few companies who did not do the basics well.” “In the end, we need to add value. With generative AI, it's rapidly changing. When you think of a marketing agency, that's half of what they do! They have to rethink - am I really solving a problem? Am I able to prove it in the end?” “Time is our most valuable resource. We can never make more of it. Every time you spend an hour doing something, how do you turn that into more?” “T2D3 talks about the $100M mark. To achieve this – People often think they have to go really broad, really wide. But if you look at how big markets are for a meaningful solution, a meaningful software product that actually solves a really important problem - getting to a $100M doesn't actually require you to have a very large market! It just requires you to do really, really well.” “Staying relevant is also about saying no, and not trying to do more for more people - just doing more for the existing audience you have.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for T2D3 at https://www.t2d3.pro/ Read the Blog Post: 10 Milestones to Reach Product Fit: https://www.kalungi.com/blog/10-milestones-to-reach-product-market-fit https://www.amazon.com/T2D3-software-startups-scale-where-ebook/dp/B09HPDDHDY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=t2d3+book&qid=1634416736&s=digital-text&sr=1-1&__hstc=194312882.aa180531902a7c98291215f661c2f5b9.1690673640933.1690673640933.1690673640933.1&__hssc=194312882.1.1690673640934&__hsfp=1912911101&hsCtaTracking=eadd46a3-9889-41b4-a84a-48522e8a9558%7Ce9667de1-79c1-42e5-a954-83983243b9a3 Connect with Stijn Hendrikse on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijnhendrikse/ Follow Stijn on twitter at https://twitter.com/stijnh1

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to talk about the newly released Pac-12 annual revenue numbers that while came in at record levels, are still dead last among the Power Five conferences with a $21 million gap per school between the Big Ten. The guys talk about what those numbers mean and how that gap is only going to increase with the new SEC and Big Ten media deals kicking in next year. The guys also talk about the latest on the Pac-12 media rights front including interviews by Washington State president Kirk Schulz and Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson, giving two very different timeline estimations for when this deal will finally get done. There is also a deadline looming if the Pac-12 wants to add San Diego State for the 2024 season, as the SDSU exit fee of $17 million to the Mountain West will triple on July 1. Plus the Pac-12 is making some changes to enhance the television product for football games including putting microphones on players and coaches pregame and interviews with head coaches during games and the new proposed California legislation that would allow football athletes to share athletic department revenue. At the very end of the podcast news broke that USC athletic director Mike Bohn was resigning. The guys give their quick reaction to this out of the blue story with the Trojan athletic department now in search of new leadership with a move to the Big Ten on the horizon.
