    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I don't know how to explain to people who can't hear what I'm saying. 10 pages is nothing. 2 months is nothing. How big is your business? How much did you make today? I'm already in the top 5% of global income. It's more than enough for me to be happy where I'm at. (Edit, make that top .5%...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Morning Thoughts on Huge and Ambitious Projects I recognize that I have hit the "Intermediate" part of this project. The easy excitement of the beginning has worn off. I know that between "Beginner" and "Advanced" there is a long 'desert of the soul.' I anticipated it. I will pass through it...

    ...current Conversion Rate (for Interviews Scheduled, not Sales) is about 2.2%, and I think it will rise to 2.5% with followups. 2.5% Conversion of *any* kind from Cold Emailing is not bad at all. I have a decent amount of personal experience with Email Marketing, and getting 2.5 % Conversions...

    ...keep in mind: The cycle of Email Followups will stack up over time. That means (probably) more and more responses stacking up. So, I shouldn't push *too* fast.. because the response-wave may still be cresting to its peak. At the same time, consider this AWESOME fact: QuickMail stores *all*...
