- Rob Snyder coaches founders on growth. Co-host RC asks him about one of his newsletter posts.
- Rob's earlier idea is pull. People buy when they need something done now and their current options aren't good enough.
- Founders often think in revenue or a marketing funnel. He says neither shows where to focus right now.
- He sees a startup as a factory that turns strangers into happy customers, and fixes only its slowest step.
- He says almost nobody cared about this idea until he found a new way to explain it.
What they say
Tap a line to open it, tap a bullet to play.
To grow fastest, you keep working on the one thing that limits growth.
Only demand and your own skill limit how fast you can grow.
Most startups spend their time on things that slow their growth.
A startup works like a factory, and what it makes is happy customers.
Pipeline, sales and delivery are the three machines in the factory.
Each day you find the slowest machine and fix its root cause.
Funnels, revenue and software factories each show only part of the factory.
