Saurav started a Groupon-like offering for SMBs in 2011. He quickly learned it wasn't going to work. He and his team pivoted and started driving leads to suppliers using Facebook ads. It worked and they generated revenue—but they were becoming a digital advertising agency. It wasn't at all what they wanted to build.So they pivoted again.  They used the cash from that business and built Perkbox. The idea was a subscription-based offering that that gave perks to SMB customers. Telcos started buying it and attaching it to their products to drive sales. Then, they pivoted again, this time moving away from customer perks and to employee perks.This time, it worked. They grew from $2M in ARR to $14M in just 2 years. They kept growing and hit $36M in ARR. Then he sold the business to PE for $170M.It took longer than expected. There were more pivots than expected. But it was a huge success.Here's how it happened.Why you should listen:How to use new social media channels to drive growth.How to leverage partnerships to get end user adoption.Why having a profitable agency can be a great way to get started.Why capital efficiency can be a huge edge.Rebranding can help clarify market positioning.What it feels like to make $10s of millions in one day.KeywordsPerkBox, Groupon, startup journey, business model, SMB market, marketing strategies, recurring revenue, partnerships, entrepreneurship, exit strategy, venture capital, entrepreneurship, startups, employee benefits, social media marketing, capital efficiency, business growth, acquisition, rebranding, emotional marketing, lessons learnedTimestamps(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:48) The origin of Perkbox(00:04:52) Going after SMBs(00:12:16) The Pivot(00:26:35) Creating Viral Ads(00:32:28) Demo to Close Rate(00:40:12) Selling to PE Firms(00:49:38) A Piece of AdviceSend me a message to let me know what you think!

Introducing Tess. She's the founder of All Dressed Up, the flavour-first salad dressings company on a mission to elevate everyday meals (not just salad leaves) using trending ingredients people know and love without any of the artificial ingredients that supermarket brands use.  After cutting her teeth in the fast-paced FMCG world with names like Coconut Collaborative and Perkbox, Tess took a bold step into the kitchen to hone her culinary chops, training as a professional chef at the renowned Leiths School of Food & Wine. Following stints perfecting her craft, she received some unexpected feedback: her boyfriend said her dressings were so good she should sell them…which is exactly what she did.  Since then, Tess's delicious dressings have made their way onto the shelves of places like Whole Foods, Eat17, and Delli App, as well as independent delis and farm shops across the country—and with a major Ocado deal on the horizon, things are only looking up! In this episode, we'll dive into her flavorful journey, from juggling two jobs to her top tips for making it all work. Enjoy.

The other day, however, I had to build an administrative UI (user interface) that surfaced a tremendous amount of data - possibly hundreds-of-thousands of records. With so much data, standard pagination didn't seem like a meaningful solution. Instead, I switched over to using LIMIT and OFFSET in my MySQL, which allows the admin to page through the data one slice at a time. I don't use this technique that often, so I thought a ColdFusion demo would be fun.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4371-paging-through-data-using-limit-and-offset-in-mysql-and-coldfusion.htm 12/19/22 - Blog - Jim Preist - TheCrumb - Counting Lines of Code with clocSooner or later your project manager will approach you mumbling something about metrics, lines of code and accountability.Much like tabs vs spaces there are people who are both for and against using lines of code as some sort of measurement.

To do this, I used MySQL's INSERT INTO SELECT syntax which provides a bulk INSERT API that is powered by a SELECT statement. I'd never actually done this in a production application before; so, I thought it might be worth a quick MySQL and ColdFusion demo.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4370-using-insert-into-select-to-duplicate-rows-in-mysql-and-lucee-cfml.htm  12/16/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Breaking An IPv4 Address Range Up Into CIDR Ranges In Lucee CFML 5.3.9.141The other day, this blog was being attacked by a malicious actor in Australia. I identified 38 unique IP addresses that were all poking and prodding the application, looking for weaknesses. Thankfully, this caused zero issues for the site itself or its visitors. However, in the heat of the moment, as I was adding these IPs to Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, I realized that my understanding of how IP addresses work was quite lacking. I needed to create CIDR ranges for the WAF; but, wasn't sure how to do that. As such, I wanted to take a moment and play around with IP addresses, taking a given range and breaking it up into the tightest possible CIDR ranges in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4369-breaking-an-ipv4-address-range-up-into-cidr-ranges-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-9-141.htm 12/16/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 7 - Reactive UIs - CBWire, VueJS and AlpineJSToday, Day 7's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 4 sessions related to reactive UIs, which are reacted with CBWire, VueJS and AlpineJS.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/the-12-days-of-christmas-itb-2022-video-release-day-7-reactive-uis-cbwire-vuejs-and-alpinejs 12/15/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 6 - ContentBox Today, Day 6's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 3 sessions related to ContentBox.

As Adam explained to me, that's the time of the year in which we gather 'round the mics and talk about whatever the heck comes to mind. We just passed two years on the Working Code podcast - woot woot!, it's the holidays, and we've been peopling super hard with our families — we all need a little jolly, no-effort relaxation. On today's show, Carol wonders if she can use Hackathons as a means to "improve community outreach" - one of her team's new OKR (Objectives and Key Results). And, I discuss the difference between deploying on Friday vs. deploying during the holiday (and why these are not the same thing and why you shouldn't be a jerk-face to your co-workers).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4368-working-code-podcast-episode-105-no-effort-december.htm 12/14/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - The 12 Days of Christmas - ITB 2022 Video Release— Day 5 - CommandBoxToday, Day 5's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 3 sessions related to CommandBox, hidden gems, building modules for CommandBox and Securing CommandBox servers for Production.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/the-12-days-of-christmas-itb-2022-video-release-day-5-commandbox CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 37 ColdFusion positions from 25 companies across 22 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United KingdomDec 16https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11541 Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United KingdomDec 14https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11540 Patreon Sponsored Job Announcement - Tomorrows GuidesTomorrows Guides is a fast paced leader in the UK care sector, catering for care seekers across three areas: Care Homes, Nurseries and Home Care.

Season 2 of That Social Work Lady is live!!That Social Work Lady Podcast began as a pandemic project. Like most projects that begin on a whim, the podcast began without a plan. It was just an idea to create a podcast that focused on exploring the ideas in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s thesis 'the beloved community' through my eyes as a social worker.Now in Season 2, I'm asking the question: What do I want That Social Work Lady to be when it grows up? And of course my answer shifted from what I want the podcast to be to how I want That Social Work Lady to contribute to my community.Adults often ask kids that question as well. Kids when first asked the question, What do you want to be when you grow up, believe it is an open question with a world's worth of answers. They quickly learn however, that the question is asked with expectations making it a more loaded question. Soon kids begin answering the question in order to please the person who is asking the question versus answering it in their own truth and honesty.In the first episode of season 2 for That Social Work Lady podcast, I am shifting the energy of that question. In the spirit of building the beloved community let's stop asking kids 'what they want to be when they grow up' and instead ask 'how do you want to contribute to your community.' Now let's take it a step farther and start asking the question of yourself, your business endeavors, your family, and other aspects of your life. Ask not what you want it to be but ask instead how you want it to contribute.Also new for Season 2, follow That Social Work Lady on social media.

Guest Angel Dan Rosenberg, COO and first employee of acquired, transatlantic apparel brand, Represent, joins me to listen to and question Chieu Cao's pitch, Mintago. Chieu, the founder of huge B2B perk company, Perkbox, has now turned his SME selling sights onto financial well-being. He is on a mission to bring happiness to employees and this starts with an understanding of how they can reach their goals with active financial planning: Physical and mental well-being are greatly affected by a person's financial state so should HR departments focus on this as a starting point? Chieu clearly has incredible experience in this market having been there and nailed it already, but can he convince companies that financial well-being really is the holistic solution where well-being should begin? Great insights into selling into SMEs and how to build a company ripe for B2B scale as well as how to shape your message to sell successfully into companies.
