This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to create anything and make it stand out. My guest is Payman Taei, Founder and CEO of Visme Payman is an avid technologist. He loves new trends and tries to keep up with the ever-evolving internet. His background in Biology has led him to truly believe in the art of evolution. Everything changes in time. You either follow or create new trends or will be left behind.  He started HindSite Interactive with a mere $170 to pay his way through College and over the last 16 years that followed he and his team worked with over 300 companies large and small from all walks of life.  Frustrated with the lack of easy-to-use tools for non-designers to create compelling visual content, he went on to create Visme. Their belief: everyone should be able to create beautiful content with no design experience and minimal effort.  Their mission: To empower the world to speak loudly by speaking visually. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Payman to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the way we can communicate value and ideas. Payman shares the big lessons learned in taking his business from scratch to profitability within 18 months. He also digs into some of the internal beliefs they had to eliminate that harmed even faster growth of the business. We discuss how they selected their sweetspot in the market and what it took to create predictable traction.  Here's one of his quotes The bar has been raised today on what is expected of people and businesses. So when we say Speak Loudly, it means you can stand over the crowd. And by Speak Visually, you have the capacity to communicate visually and improve information retention As humans we are used to seeing things visually, when you see a chart, you can remember and absorb that information much more than if you just saw it, as a set of numbers and stats that are nested on top of each other.  We believe that every individual is a great storyteller, even if you think you're not. And so our platform has the means to allow them to be able to take their information and data and ideas and be able to bring them to the forefront in a more meaningful manner. During this interview, you will learn four things: How to rapidly grow market share and create defensible differentiation in a market that's always been dominated by very large vendors   What to do differently to grow purely by word-of-mouth how to structure your product strategy for impact when everyone can technically use your solution and all have feedback Why Payman decided not to raise external funding to grow the business - and why he'd start any new business bootstrapped again.

Over the past few years talent has been scarce. And when talent is scarce, fear leads hiring decisions. We don't want to lose (what we perceive to be) “good people”, so we shortcut the interview process.  Here's the thing, our perceptions are often wrong.  Our gut is often wrong. And it is wrong because the data we input is either assumed or circumstantial. Resulting in marginal hiring that hurts your business.  So, what if every person that you hired thrived in your company? What would be the ROI if you operated at a hiring success rate over the 90th percentile? It would be pretty f-ing amazing, right? A crucial part of why we get hiring wrong too often is that we don't invest the time to adequately vet people before we bring them in for an interview. This starts with your first call (phone screen). We miss the opportunity to gather true data as to whether a person is positioned well for the organization and their level of performance.  That's right, positioning and performance.  The most crucial data that help you understand alignment before wasting anyone's time in a formal interview process.  Evidence that is not present on a resume.  Guest Bio: Payman Taei is the Founder of Visme, an all-in-one visual communication platform, and Co-Founder of Respona the link-building for SaaS and Agencies to improve google rankings.  Payman is an avid technologist who loves new trends and tries to keep up with the ever-evolving internet. His background in Biology has led him to truly believe in the art of evolution. Everything changes in time. You either follow or create new trends or you will be left behind.  TODAY WE DISCUSS: The challenges in today's pre-vetting of talent How to properly vet people before they enter your interview process HIRING STORY: Hired a marketing person, a person who was known. Went on a whim and made the hire without involving  Assumed that because the person worked for a certain company the person must be good Knew within a 45-day window, the wrong hire Missed clues: a bit of fluff, selling themselves more. Claimed to have done a lot. Exaggerations Marketers commonly take a lot of credit for a lot of company success My post:  https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6999061564083380225/  PROBLEM: Pre-vetting people before they come in for an interview Challenge? 100's of resumes. More does not mean better Select a handful of people who are worth the time to interview Most of the roles the CEO is still involved with Create an efficient system without automation (Smaller companies) Highest quality with the least friction as possible Why is this important to the company? Made some bad hires Time is a premium  personality /cultural fit & skills We Sacrifice lower experience for a better cultural fit Rick's Nuggets: Judgement should not be made on a resume but on the phone screen/Discovery Call. Great resumes don't equal great people High performers are busy making an impact  Great interviewers have had a lot of practice.  Understand Pain, Desire & Impact How do we solve the problem?  Pick the needle from the haystack Prequalification process The application itself Manner in which the resume is submitted -spammer or researched Passionate - learn and know about the company Not job hopping Interested because of a,b & c  Large pool of referrals HR interview Personality & brief technical experience Going through the resume and understanding career history.  Gut check - authentic, a nice person, compassionate & caring, wanting to make a difference,  Technical interview (2 step) Projects, role on projects Tech stack, where are you comfortable, specific technical questions Deep dive into the technical experience with the team lead Decision Yes- move into reference check 30, 60, 90 day review cycle on kpi and goals Rick's Nuggets: Operate from a position of abundance Discovery call Positioning Does the person have a good reason to make a move Does the person truly desire what your company is offering Impact  High performers become passionate about what they have done Dig into the “HOW” and “WHY” to gather evidence Go deeper than 2 layers down to find the TRUTH  Key Takeaways that the Audience can plug into their business today! (Value): Eliminate the noise Trust your intuition- What's the gut feeling? does everything seems to check?  Group Decision: How does everyone feel about the person- team assessment Guest Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paymantaei/ Company: https://www.visme.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/visme/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/vismeapp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vismeapp/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vismeapp YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/VismeApp Host Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-girard-07722/ Company: https://www.stridesearch.com/ Podcast: https://www.hirepowerradio.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeEJm9RoCfu8y7AJpaxkxqQ Authored:  "Healing Career Wounds"  https://amzn.to/3tGbtre Startup: www.intertru.ai HireOS® inquiry: rick@stridesearch.com Show Sponsor: www.stridesearch.com www.intertru.ai

Payman Taei is the Founder and President of Visme, a platform that creates engaging presentations, infographics, and almost any other type of visually engaging content. Payman started Visme in response to the need for an easy-to-use platform that allows non-designers to speak visually. Since 2013, Visme's user base has grown to over 16 million businesses, nonprofits, and individuals from over 100 countries.  In this episode… We are in a business world that can't do without producing and consuming visual content of different forms. The problem is that there aren't nearly enough affordable pro-designers for hire. So, how do small business owners compete to create visually appealing designs for their brands — even if they don't have design skills? Visme was created for that purpose. Unlike any other SaaS design solution, Visme is the bridge between simple and super-sophisticated design. From top brands like IBM and Netflix to startups, everyone can use Visme. But what's their brand story, and how did they become this big? Is Visme for you?  Listen to this Inspired Insider Podcast episode with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring the Founder and President of Visme, Payman Taei. They discuss Visme's journey from bootstrap to 16 million users from 100 countries (and counting), why the tool is different, how they maintain culture with over 100 remote employees, and more!
