Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners
Over the last few years, I think one of the most important lessons we’ve learned is that our community can go beyond WordPress. From the tools and the code, to the neighboring software’s we use to get the job done. Whatever that “job” is for you. It could be publishing a simple blog or helping a university with a multi-site solution for an intranet — WordPress is powerful, but the solution can be expansive. Our stack is moving well beyond plugins, and that’s a good thing. One person leading the charge to expand our knowledge in this space is Christie Chirinos, former product manager at LiquidWeb and now host and creator of the Open Source Economist podcast. If you’re selling an open source product (or any product for that matter), Christie is someone you want on your team. I’m excited to learn more about the open source space through her new podcast. Okay, don’t forget to subscribe at MattReport.com/subscribe, let’s get into the show!

Although I'm old enough to be her mother, Christie is who I want to be when I grow up. She's smart. She's strategic. She's fun. She's also not afraid to speak her voice, stand up for others, and use her influence for good. Add to that her WordPress expertise, and I don't think there's anything that could stand in her way.

It was extra special because she got to see Breann McDede’s first presentation.Also, it was really neat to see how the WordPress community in Montréal embraces bilingualism. As Michel Bluma says, “#BonjourHi.”I decided to sit in Q&A part of a presentation in French. It's funny to hear words I know: "A-C-F," "Gutenberg," "Custom Post Types." Can't get much more Montreal than that. #BonjourHiPHP 7.5 — P++ Ending Backwards CompatibilityFrom PHP Storm.“P++ – The controversy and accusations in PHP Internals over the removal of short tags

This week I was excited to speak with Christie Chirinos from CalderaWP. I had followed her WordCamp EU presentation on the topic of financial forecasting back in June of 2018 and it intrigued me. Christie has an M.B.A. in Management Information Systems from Florida State University and has been involved in the WordPress space for a few years now, currently being a partner in the CalderaWP team that is well-known for the Caldera Forms plugin. She enjoys sharing the knowledge she has gathered over the years with others in the WordPress community through talks at WordCamps and shows like this one. In the episode, Christie took some time out of her busy schedule to continue discussing financial forecasting, business strategies and business administration. We discuss everything from what financial forecasting is to what business strategies are and how you should plan out your future targets. We also delve into possible ways of learning more about how to run your business without having to necessarily get a degree or go to business school, plus a few other interesting tips and discussions that you won't want to miss!

Josh Pollock had tapped into his local WordPress community when he started Caldera Forms. (5:18) The growth of Caldera Forms started on the Florida State University campus while Christie was finishing her Masters of Business Administration. (6:03) Christie and Josh got to know each other organically before deciding to partner in a business. (7:03) Founder meetings and networking seminars should be approached cautiously. You do not want to appear phony when you are trying to find a good business partner. (8:41) The strong parts that each person can deliver must be bigger than one goal. (9:59) The best way to grow your business is to be helpful. You can put something out there that can solve a problem for a particular group of people. (12:06) Sales Growth: The approach to getting customers is constantly changing because so many people have multiple options at their fingertips. (13:54) What is being taught in business school for sales is getting thrown away. The retail space is changing across the board. (14:22) The consumer has more information today and is able to have a two-way conversation with the vendor. (15:40) Old patterns die hard. We are seeing a generation now that only grew up with the Internet. (16:31) Cultural changes are happening across all industries (ex: food) and across all forms of marketing. The consumer has more options and choice today.(17:42) Small businesses are competing on a differentiating strategy rather than just low cost – now you need to find a niche with a product that is unique. (20:56) The Future of WordPress: There is an idea in the WordPress world that there is room for everyone. But the reality is that you need to find the thing that makes your product unique and special. (22:24) It has been said that WordPress.com and Automattic are able to get in front of the typical user with an unfair advantage.(25:23) WordPress has a very specific problem in the industry, with risks, it's advantages and disadvantages because of the opensource world. (27:47) The risk with any business that ties itself to a platform (like WordPress) is that it can change, which means your business will need to change. (28:23) Every business should have a “get hit by a bus plan”. It helps the business if you diversify and keep your skills current if you need to pivot and move quickly. (30:39) Research and development are very important. Many plugins are getting Gutenberg ready. (33:05) The space of easy websites is changing the climate. (34:21) Tactics used for Business Growth: Create conversations everywhere. It is important to talk about what is going on in the industry. (36:33) Make sure you know that your customer's needs are being met. (37:18) Encourage people to connect with you on Facebook, your website, Meetups and everywhere your customers are. (39:42) Do not try to do everything yourself. It's always OK to ask for help. (40:34) Change does not always feel nice. Always engage to see where the opportunities lie.
