Thanks @jayacunzo.com this is so relatable.

Curious, how did you find newsletter content market fit?

Was it trial and error or a more deliberate approach?

I dunno.

I *could* be totally way off…but I thought that was called “marketing” 😆

In all seriousness, we probably refer to it as influencer marketing + WOM marketing + PR.

Yeah, we’re going to need a catchy name for it. 🤔

You’ve pretty much described all of my 40’s 😆

Are you noticing any bump in conversion rates from AI vs search?

Has search declined as AI traffic has risen?

Curious 🤔

I’ve learned that Enterprise & Mid-Market B2B buyers are significantly more methodical in their purchasing decisions.

SMB buyers behave similarly to B2C buyers. They’re much more prone to be influenced by non-technical factors and their gut instincts.

An agency I worked for ran a B2B buyer study.

We found buyers would purposely buy the second best product with more brand awareness and trust (e.g. IBM) because they didn’t want to risk buying the superior but lesser known product.

When I say buyers are illogical.

It doesn’t imply anything about their intelligence.

It implies that buyers subconsciously are affected by brand, price, perceived value.

And that not all purchasing decisions are purely driven by technical logic.

- There’s also psychological dynamics at play. Subscription implies continued innovation. One payment implies stagnation.

- Another dynamic is perceived value (like luxury goods). A $100/m product (although pricier) must be better than a one time $100 product

Hmm. I don’t think customers are dumb.

It’s much more complex than that.

My much more considered take…

- Calendly has 1st mover advantage and significant brand awareness compared to its competitors

- That stance in the market gives Calendly much more brand credibility and trust.

Brand awareness?

Deal too good to be true?

Skeptical of quality due to one time payment?

Buyers are sometimes illogical 🤷🏻‍♂️
December 11, 2024 at 10:02 PM
I think it depends on the product and how simple or complex it is.

Why pay $100/m for Calendly? When you can get a lifetime subscription for $100 with TidyCal?
