Derric Haynie is the Chief Ecommerce Technologist for EcommerceTech.io. After seeing a disconnect between ecommerce teams and the tools they were using, Derric started his company to help these businesses find the right technology for them. He has years of experience in marketing, technology, and ecommerce and is a renowned expert in Shopify applications and tech.  Before starting EcommerceTech.io, Derric held executive roles at a number of ecommerce and marketing companies, including Gorgias, BoxyCharm, and Vulpine Interactive. Outside of work, he volunteers for GrowthX Academy, where he mentors and advises students interested in becoming expert growth hackers. In this episode… Ecommerce is constantly changing. Anyone in the industry will be quick to tell you how fluid and uncertain the market can be — especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. So much is still unknown, especially for smaller digital brands. Is your company prepared for the coming tides of the online marketplace? No one can truly know what the future of ecommerce will hold, but there are people who are plugged into the latest trends and challenges impacting the industry. Derric Haynie, a Shopify expert and ecommerce wizard, is one of those people. He works with digital tools and brands every day, giving him a keen insight into what is on the horizon. So, what are Derric's predictions? Guillaume Le Tual invites Derric Haynie, the Chief Ecommerce Technologist at EcommerceTech.io, back to the show to discuss his thoughts on the future of ecommerce. Together, they talk about the current problems and pain points in the marketplace and how they might be improved. They also dive into the trends affecting manufacturing, the importance of diversifying the supply chain, and how AI can be used to improve your online store. Hear it all on this episode of the Ecommerce Wizards Podcast. 

Derric Haynie is the Chief Ecommerce Technologist at Ecommercetech.io. He researches and discovers the right apps and software solutions for Shopify stores and brands selling elsewhere in e-commerce. Half of Derric's day is spent in demos and the other half is spent consulting clients—and it shows! He joined the E-Commerce with Coffee?! podcast for a fascinating conversation about tech and app solutions in e-commerce. It all started when Derric grew his own e-com tech company and went through over 200 tool demos of other apps as he positioned his own. Today, especially after 2020 and its whirlwind implications to e-commerce, tech solutions are more important than ever. Yet, most of the tools out there for e-commerce brands either solve problems they don't know they have or are redundant app-to-app. That's where Derric comes in. He advises brands on which tools make sense considering all the unique factors in play. Some tools aren't made for small brands, for example, and others are made exclusively for them! Still, other tools don't work if you have over or under a certain sales volume, etc. Whatever the case for each brand, Derric and his team are there to advise. In this episode of E-Commerce with Coffee?! Derric comes in with all his knowledge to talk about the fast-moving tech landscape. Listen in for his insights on what tools are changing e-commerce and what brands should do about it. What to listen for: Who would want to listen to demos for a living? Derric Haynie, that's who. Derric spends half his day reviewing tools and the other half advising companies; listen in to hear the full story of how Derric got here. Getting buy-in from leadership on new tech solutions is much harder than it should be. Derric offers some wisdom on how to get that buy-in so your business can grow. What's in an effective demo? Derric spells that out in the interview. “You have to explain ‘here's why this is important and here's how it makes you money,'” Derric says. This answer is far more important than any app's functionality. “There's a lot of feature parity right now, so tech companies need to communicate their differentiation factor.” Price testing is one of the four “Ps” that Derric says too few brands are doing. Depending on how fast or slowly you want to move inventory, there are ideal times to either raise or lower price points. Derric muses, “everyone's forgetting that you can change your price!” “Somewhere between review, loyalty, and SMS [software solutions], most brands are missing at least one of those,” Derric observes. Consumers are moving even more into buying with their hearts, and the savviest brands are figuring that out fast. This requires greater transparency and a louder voice about the practices and values important to each brand. “Unique, individual brands selling unique, individual products,” Derric repeats.

The answer may be more complex than you think. Your e-commerce platform significantly impacts your bottom line, ability to scale, and how much you can customize, among others. While each platform has its own pros and cons, finding the right one can make the difference between a thriving company and a struggling one.  Derric Haynie built his business, EcommerceTech.io, around finding the right tools for e-commerce companies. He is an expert on Shopify, one of the leading platforms on the market. Now, he's here to discuss the burning question: how exactly does Shopify compare to Magento, an e-commerce platform known for its ability to handle complex marketplaces? And, which of these two platforms is best for your business? On this informative episode of the Ecommerce Wizards Podcast, Guillaume Le Tual sits down with Derric Haynie, the Chief E-commerce Technologist at EcommerceTech.io, to discuss the benefits and limitations of Shopify versus Magento. Together, they talk about the target demographics for both platforms, the differences in customization, and the exciting impacts of AI integration. They also dive into which new extensions are going to help your e-commerce business thrive. Tune in for more!

Derric Haynie joined me to talk about picking the right tech stack.

In episode 58 of the Customers Who Click podcast, I had a great conversation with Derric Haynie about tech stacks, and how to pick new tools to add to your business. Tech stacks are a wonderful thing but you know what they say - too much of a good thing.... I can see how tempting all these new shiny apps are, I too get excited about new plugins and widgets (and what they can offer) and often can't wait to try them out. But, it's super important that the subject of adding tools to your tech stack is approached with a bit of consideration. If you get it wrong you might “just” waste a load of money, or you might find yourself replatforming shortly after to something more suitable, and this takes up time and money that could be better spent elsewhere. Think about the stage of the business your brand's currently at. How will you be scaling? What resources will you have available? Is this tool necessary? Maybe you already have a tool capable of achieving the same goal; perhaps your current tools may not even be compatible with the latest addition. Derric is the Chief Ecommerce Technologist at Ecommerce Tech, where e-commerce teams go to find the right tools and tech for their stores. Believe it or not, his ecom journey started with a game of poker in college (that went on playing high-stake poker for 10 years). Derric then went from creating a card game simulator, opening up an agency with his wife, working full time for a beauty subscription box before finally realizing his passion for the tech stack ecosystem.

The weekend might be over, but a whole new week of SnackWalls episodes is just getting started. Happy Monday everyone!In this episode we speak with Derric Haynie and his experiences working in E-commerce. He noticed that many industry leaders have not acknowledged inherent biases and pushed for a cultural change within their organizations. Businesses need to focus on finding candidates with the right skills and not someone who has hit a set of random milestones. In the near future people will be learning through sources of free information (internet) and apprenticeship programs to gain job skills. Business leaders must make diversity and inclusion a part of the company culture to retain employees. Additionally, they should make an effort to represent their company with a diverse pool of employees instead of having one spokesperson. Derric Haynie is a father, futurist, and entrepreneur. He is passionate about marketing, growth, virality, and E-commerce. As the CEO and Chief E-commerce Technologist at E-commerce Tech, Derric helps merchants find the right tools to grow their stores.

At a certain point in your life, you have to give up things that you’re used to and learn something new. In business (especially pricing) always have a market study and comparison first, or ask for advice.   Resources Mentioned: The Top Inbox – The site Nathan uses to schedule emails to be sent later, set reminders in inbox, track opens, and follow-up with email sequences GetLatka - Database of all B2B SaaS companies who have been on my show including their revenue, CAC, churn, ARPU and more Klipfolio – Track your business performance across all departments for FREE Hotjar – Nathan uses Hotjar to track what you’re doing on this site.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrichaynie () Derric Haynie is a serial entrepreneur working his way up to a Keynote Speaker. He is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and startup founders “growth hack” their way to success. he started the company https://splashopm.com/ (Splash – Online Presence Management), with a goal of helping 10,000 entrepreneurs successfully set up profitable inbound marketing funnels, and get their first 10,000 subscribers. STRATEGIES USED TO FUND BUSINESS In the beginning I focused completely on education. I needed to stop playing poker in order to make this passion of mine a success. When I knew I needed to jump ship, it was in the back of my mind that I needed an investment to help skyrocket the business. I had a few friends who were angel investors, including one who was in the email marketing space. He saw a lot of passion in me and really believed in me; therefore he made an investment of $50,000 into our company for 15%. FOUNDERS I picked my wife, https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanahaynie (Shana Haynie), as the Creative Director, she is an amazing artist and graphic designer. DESCRIBE A MOMENT WHEN YOU FELT LIKE GIVING UP There are definitely a lot of times when you feel like this isn’t working and it’s worthless. We have a small child in our home and moved from a 4-bedroom home to a 2-bedroom home, sold a car and went into debt for our business. I remember one night in particular when the baby was crying, we were still figuring out our business in the early stages, and it was just a murderous feeling that I should just give up now. The thing that kept me going was acknowledging that business and life struggles may come at you at full swing, but you have to know that there will be another moment when you have huge success as well. HUGE SUCCESS I’ve had three 6-figure days as a professional poker player. One of them was at the final table at a World Series of Poker event. Those moments of success I felt were deserved because of all the years of hard work I had put in to get lucky enough to be at the final table of a tournament. SUPERPOWER My greatest strength without a doubt is that I am an expert decision maker. I can ascertain what criteria I need to know and then make the best informed decision and execute on it. KRYPTONITE I don’t have experience managing other people and sometimes I set ridiculously high expectations for others that I couldn’t even expect myself to perform at. IF YOU CAN HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER… The one that is most attainable is the ability to stop aging.
