He has invested in several companies that have gone on to stage IPOs, including Bazaarvoice (NASDAQ: BV); Coupa (NASDAQ: COUP); Guidewire Software (NYSE: GWRE); Marketo (NASDAQ: MKTO, acquired by Vista Equity Partners); Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX); Omniture (NASDAQ: OMTR, acquired by Adobe); RealPage (NASDAQ: RP); and Wayfair (NYSE: W).He also invested in several companies that have experienced M&A events, such as A Place for Mom (acquired by Warburg Pincus); AppDynamics (acquired by Cisco); Brightree (acquired by ResMed); Chef (acquired by Progress); Glassdoor (acquired by Recruit Holdings); Internet Brands (acquired by Hellman & Friedman); Kustomer (acquired by Meta); OpsGenie (acquired by Atlassian); Stella Connect (acquired by Medallia, Inc.); and VSS Monitoring (acquired by Danaher). Neeraj also played a key role in several other Battery investments including Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN); ITA Software (acquired by Google); and Sabre (NASDAQ: SABR).Neeraj is currently on the boards of Braze (NASDAQ: BRZE), Compt, Catchpoint, Dataiku, Level AI, LogRocket, Pendo, Reify Health, Repeat, Scopely, Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse), Sprinklr (NYSE: CXM), Tealium, Wunderkind (formerly BounceX), Workato and Yesware. He is a board observer for InVision and Mattermost. Neeraj has also made seed investments in companies including 8fig, Dooly, PayStand, Proton, Reibus International and UserGems since 2020.QUOTESNeeraj on the challenge of timing your investment: "The challenge often is if you invest too early, you've got a good idea but you run out of money before the inflection point happens. And if you invest too late, somebody else captures the market. Having a sense of the timing is really important and like most things in life, luck has a lot to do with it."Neeraj on why both product and sales are crucial for success: "Ultimately, great companies are built on great products and great sales. You can kind of fake it for a while now on the sales side, but the longer you wait to put in the fundamentals, the harder it is to do later." Neeraj on how he chooses the companies that he backs: "Life's too short. If this isn't a person that I want to back from beginning to exit, they don't have the right coachability and skill to read my mind, it's probably time to move on and look at other investments."Check out John McMahon's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Qualified-Sales-Leader-Proven-Lessons/dp/0578895064

From GM of EMEA at BounceX (now Wunderkind) to his current role as the CRO at Forecast, Rob Massa has turned a unique international business experience into his second CRO role.  In this episode of Revenue Revolutionaries, Dave talks with Rob about how to reduce churn through leading indicator metrics via Sales, CS, and Marketing alignment, the power of strongly communicating the relationship between vision and tactics to employees, and the importance of over-indexing on hiring, onboarding, and training processes.  Episode Key Takeaways1. Get Sales and Customer Success teams as close as possible - Rob stresses the importance of keeping Sales and Customer Success teams as close as possible.  When there is true alignment, Sales should be proud to handoff a new customer to the Customer Success team.  He also thinks it’s important to ensure everyone across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success understands that selling to the right companies and customers is the best way to achieve individual and company goals. 2. Think two years out about retention risk and create retention leading indicator metrics - Rob oversees Sales and Customer and as he works to achieve his goals he knows it’s paramount that he drive down churn as much as possible. He has taken steps to identify the top ‘components’ contributing to churn and has developed leading indicator metrics to monitor behavior.  He then aligns the company to these leading indicator metrics to ensure the company is driving the right behavior in the first 90 days of the relationship.  He knows that this time period is crucial for setting a customer up for success beyond year one. Internal alignment to the leading indicator metrics has produced the higher retention rates he has been pursuing.  3. Remember the small things that matter to customers - Leaders can become disconnected from customers if a direct dialogue is not maintained. Rob cites an example of how a customer conversation led him to understand an issue that he wasn’t aware of and it ultimately resulted in a renewal that might not have happened without his outreach.  Rob believes that CROs should have a disciplined communication cadence with customers in order to stay aware of issues customers are dealing with so the business can fix them.  Oftentimes, there are communication breakdowns through the layers of management and it can prevent the business from serving customers to the best of its abilities.  4. Over Index on your hiring process and new employee onboarding and training - During the pandemic, Rob has gained a new perspective on the importance of a strong hiring process and employee onboarding and training.  He has created a rigorous hiring process that ensures the candidates are truly getting something out of the interview process. He strives to be transparent and upfront so the discussions are a two-way street and the candidate fully understands the role and the company before they join.  This has been a key reason for Rob being able to attract high-quality talent. 5. Strongly communicate how vision aligns to tactics - We all know that leaders are tasked with casting a strong vision for the organization. Rob believes leaders must help all employees understand how the vision for the organization aligns directly to the tactics.  Help employees align their work to the goals of the company.  Answer the question, “what happens if we hit our goals?”.  Transparency and communication on this front put the company and employees in a better position to be successful. There is power in sharing high-level corporate strategy with employees.

In this episode, Jackson shares a wealth of knowledge in a 15 minute convo. He notices that black and brown professional numbers are low in fortune 500 and start-up companies but this is not due to a lack of talent. Recruiters and hiring managers need to get out and create opportunities to get in front of the right people who might not otherwise have company visibility. Removing degree requirements for certain tech roles will open up the pool of candidates with hard skills and experience. If you find someone with the capacity to self teach using tutorials from the internet, that resourceful person will likely do well on a software development team. Companies should invest informal outreach and engagement in the form of apprenticeship, internships, or mentorship programs to connect with the next generation of talented individuals. To retain talent, organizations should focus on creating programs that, as much as possible, remove unconscious bias and allow everyone equal opportunities to grow.Jackson Jeyanayagam is the Vice President and General Manager of Direct-to-Consumer at The Clorox Company. He has 20 years of experience with specialties in: P&L management, change management, business transformation, cross-functional team building, people development, brand marketing, digital brand building, revenue growth, e-commerce, mobile, performance marketing, CSR, analytics & data science, CRM & loyalty, sports marketing, PR and public speaking. Jackson also serves on the Board of Directors for Goodwill International and Peace Direct.

Welcome to the casey digital podcast, on this episode I will be talking through my lock down so far and 5 digital strategy tips during quarantine. 1. Site speed
  Website speed and getting your scores up has been a piece of advice I’ve given clients for a long time, and yes it’s more important than ever!
  Analyse your website speed and how your platform is performing to see if there are areas for improvement, there are lots of tools but I like to recommend using 2 tools (Google Page insights and GT Metrix) and stick to them as you benchmark month on month.
  Ensure that site speed is a monthly agenda item on your website roadmap in house and if you use an agency you should be committing retainer hours every month. Read this post on Moz about why site speed is so important and you will see that shaving a second off your page loading speed can have a massively positive impact on your conversion rate.
  2. Conversion rate optimisation 
  Making any major changes to the critical aspects of your customer journey isn’t normally BAU for most businesses due to the risk and flow of revenue that it generates i.e. the checkout.
  Generally speaking a lot of businesses will have reduced spend on acquiring new customers but they don’t spend enough time trying to convert their existing visitors and optimising the conversion rate as much as possible
  Here are some simple tips to start CRO:
  - Map out the customer journey using post it notes or a document and look at the key areas on that page to split-test.
  - Create a very simple split test plan to change 1 or 2 elements in the customer journey to test a hypothesis, i.e. call to action (CTA) button colour or CTA copy and run it for a minimum of 6 weeks.
  - If you haven’t already, set up tracking software where you can split test the data from your changes. If you don't have a paid tool, use Google Optimize which is a great free tool.
  3. Adapt your paid strategy to be more agile
  Continue to review paid campaigns weekly Review what content you are putting out in your ad campaigns   Use this time to really analyse your funnel
  4. Email marketing is old but gold
  According to BounceX email conversion rates and revenue has increased during the pandemic (BounceX COVID-19 Retail Pulse Study)
  Brands are marketing to a more engaged audience as they have more time on their hands.
  Targeted messages to curated audiences has always been the winning formula for email marketing and this is especially the case during the pandemic.
  If you can create compelling content / campaigns and use email as one of the main vehicles you are likely to get a relatively strong ROI.
  5. SEO is as important as ever
  If you have been investing into SEO and you have a solid strategy and roadmap, hats off to you and I’m sure there are a lot of smug SEO’s in digital teams up and down the country as paid media budgets are getting reduced.
  If you aren’t confident in you SEO strategy or you are unsure here are 3 tips to start you on the right path :
  - Run a technical audit  -Scale up your “Power Post” SEO content  -Research new trending topics in your sector and adapt your strategy
  If you want to find out more about SEO or you are new to the subject please go and check out the Beginners guide to SEO on my blog or download the SEO whitepaper from the Seventy7 blog.

TechCrunch confirmed today that BounceX (the firm is rebranding this year) has executed layoffs and salary cuts in the wake of recent COVID-19-led economic disruptions. Many startups are undergoing staff cuts as the domestic and global economies slow, making individual reductions less newsworthy as the layoff tally rises. However, as BounceX is a company we've […]

On March 4, WITHIN started tracking the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its clients’ ecommerce revenue, conversion rates, and ad spend. They used the pre-COVID period as the benchmark to compare YoY performance before and after COVID.  Meanwhile, WITHIN’s friends at BounceX launched a similar project that tracked daily website visits vs resulting revenue, daily email engagement vs resulting revenue, site visits, conversions by state, and more.  Following two incredibly volatile weeks of reporting and working in the trenches with retailers across verticals, WITHIN and BounceX teamed up to present the performance insights, strategies, and tactics that retailers were employing to protect their revenue.  In this inaugural webinar, cohosted by WITHIN Founder & CEO Joe Yakuel and BounceX (soon to be Wunderkind) Co-founder & CEO Ryan Urban, the duo dive into easily implemented shifts to streamline retail marketing efforts for maximal ROI. The duo is also joined by PetFlow General Manager Andrea Barsk-Roberts to learn what the pure-play retailer has done to maintain growth.  To sign up for the next Retail Pulse Live podcast, visit: http://covidretailpulse2020.splashthat.com/w For BounceX’s COVID-19 dashboard, visit: https://www.bouncex.com/covid-19/ For WITHIN’s COVID-19 Retail Pulse dashboard visit: https://covid19.within.co/covid-19retailpulse/

Welcome to the $100 million ARR club, BounceX.

From the Simplr studios in San Francisco, this is your daily briefing.IntroductionThis is Today in Five, for today, Wednesday, December 18th. Here's today’s headlines in digital disruption.As we enter a new era of entertainment where streaming services online is becoming a more popular alternative to cable subscriptions, Disney has made key strategic moves to stay at the top of the market. But is it enough to compete with players like Netflix and Amazon?First, here’s what’s making headlines.Mobile Shopping Dominating in Fashion RetailAccording to a report, mobile phone shopping accounted for nearly 67 percent of traffic for fashion retail sites and 52 percent of sales. Mobile conversion rates increased by 53 percent since last year’s holiday season. Recent reports have indicated mobile shopping is a crucial element to holiday shopping this year, with BounceX predicting that consumers would shop more on mobile than desktop and another report from BillTrust indicated more than half of shoppers planned to shop via mobile devices for gifts this year.Lyft Launching Car Rental ServiceRide-hailing company, Lyft, announced that it’s launching its own car rental service. The service is available in the company’s main smartphone app and will work like traditional car rental companies, starting in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Uber previously entered the rental space with a partnership with car-sharing company Getaround, but shut the program down at the end of 2018. Both Uber and Lyft have also rented and leased cars on their platforms in the past, but Lyft’s new service is the biggest attempt at taking a bite out of the rental car market, which is dominated by just a few players who are already trying to prevent losing customers to ride-hailing companies.H&M Reports Stronger SalesH&M reported stronger quarterly sales, indicating that the fast-fashion retailer’s efforts to adapt to changing consumer habits and increased competition are starting to pay off. The company reported a 9 percent rise in fourth-quarter sales and its shares climbed almost 2 percent. H&M has relied on selling low-price apparel in bulk but is now overhauling that strategy as consumers shift to online shopping, where the brand faces fierce competition from digital-only rivals. The company is now speeding up its supply chain and stocks its stores more efficiently through customer data analysis to stay competitive in an evolving consumer landscape.Disney Adapts To The Evolving Entertainment IndustryMedia companies have faced many challenges as more people stream content over the internet instead of paying for cable subscriptions, but Walt Disney has managed to stay on top in the movie business. The company released six of the eight highest-grossing films so far in 2019, with titles like Avengers: Endgame, The Lion King, and Toy Story 4 helping it reach $10 billion dollars at the global box office. Disney’s success can ba party attributed to a series of strategic acquisitions over the past decade. In 2009, the company bought Marvel for $4.3 billion dollars. The deal came shortly after Disney purchased Pixar for $7.4 billion dollars. And in 2012, Disney acquired Lucasfilm for $4 billion dollars. The company’s acquisitions have paid off, with Disney’s box-office haul representing over 30 percent of money made in the U.S. film industry in 2019, up from 11 percent in 2009 according to data from Comscore.But as Disney enters into 2020, it’s facing a dramatically changing media landscape. Competitors like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple have upped their spending on content and created a fierce streaming war, with all platforms vying for a share of consumers’ wallets and Hollywood talent. Disney has made moves to retain its competitive edge in the new streaming age. In the last year, it closed a $71 billion dollar acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets, launched Disney+, gained control of Hulu, and released the highest-grossing movie in cinematic history, Avengers: Endgame.With its first 24 hours, Disney+ had 10 million sign-ups, and analysts predict the company will hit 20 million subscribers before the end of the year. Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO, has said that within a year of Disney+’s launch, the number of original shows and movies will go from 10 to 45. He also noted that within five years, there will be more than 60 original projects on the service. The company is also forecasting it will have between 60 million and 90 million subscribers by the end of 2024.While Disney+ has had a strong launch, it still remains to be seen if it will be enough to compete with Big Tech companies in the long run. Iger has also announced he will be stepping down in 2021, leaving uncertainty around who will lead the company in this new era of entertainment. In the last decade, Iger has helped grow Disney’s market cap from $60 billion dollars to more than $265 billion dollars.ClosingThanks for listening to this latest episode of Today In Five.

What does a B2B brand’s website have in common with a SuperBall? A significant bounce rate! Okay, maybe not the funniest joke, but it does transition well into discussing a pretty real issue with many B2B brands: they’re boring! There are plenty exceptions, of course, but far too often, B2B brands end up being, as this week’s guest puts it, “B2Boring.”  Ryan Urban is the CEO & Founder of BounceX, a company that helps brands optimize their websites (and ditch the high bounce rates). In examining countless B2B brands, Urban has gotten a great sense of where these companies tend to go wrong, and so much of it ties to these brands being dull, playing it safe, and failing to show any personality. Their websites and content too often lack story, and end up being “coagulated, congealed buzzwords” that’ll just bounce prospects away like a trampoline. So, if you’re interested in hearing about how brands can be a little more exciting, what landing pages need to be successful, and more, tune in to this week’s Renegade Thinkers Unite.

Paul Foley is a Colorado native and huge tech startup enthusiast. He co-founded and sold a tech startup Augur to BounceX, and has since turned his attention to investing and venture capital. He has created a new investment model, SmartCapital Colorado, which is a portfolio of 25 fast-growth Colorado companies. Colorado is one of the most innovative states in America. We have one of the highest concentration of entrepreneurs and technology companies in the nation. But in order to keep growing, these companies need capital. Capital is the lifeblood of any early stage business, however, according to Pitchbook, we’re not even in the top 10 when it comes to receiving Venture capital funding, although we have a multitude of investment opportunities in early-stage companies. The team at Smart Capital is here to change this. From an Investors Perspective, early-stage companies can be one of the highest returning asset classes out there. But historically, the opportunity to invest in fast-growing companies has been reserved for Venture Capital Funds or wealthy Angels. Early investors in Facebook, Uber, and SnapChat made millions of dollars based on their relatively low initial investment. Early stage investing is risky though. Many investors believe that the best strategy is to invest in around twenty-five companies to ensure diversification. They know that a number of those companies won’t make it, a few will prosper but not make it big, but that of those 25 companies, one will hit it big and return 10x the investment. The founders of SmartCapital Colorado want to enable more people to invest and share in the rewards. With Smart Capital, now you have investment access to some of the fastest growing companies in our state. They have built a portfolio of 25 fast-growth companies, with some pretty clever criteria. To be included in the portfolio, the company must have: Strong ties to Colorado, have revenue and trajectory to grow revenue with additional funding, have an identifiable market size that the company can expand into, and backed by other reputable VC’s or accelerators. Invest with as little as $30,000, which is the approximate equivalent of $1,200 per company. You are immediately diversified amongst a variety of promising and fast-growing companies. You won’t find access like this anywhere else. Investors can invest in the portfolio between now and June 30th, 2019. Links to things we talk about: Paul Foley on LinkedIn SmartCapital
