I have an exclusive interview
for you...
No matter how far I
looked, I haven’t been able to find ANY other interviews
anywhere
with my latest Escape Velocity
guest, Justin
Shimoon.
He just… doesn’t do
them.
But for me, he
generously opened up about the massive success of his
company,
AffinityClick.
...And how he grew them
to be one of the biggest players in the enterprise VOIP market.
Justin is the founder
and CEO of AffinityClick and the creator of
Hushed, one of the world’s most popular mobile
calling apps.
This is a guy whose
software has over 500,000+ monthly active users (MAUs) and
makes millions from both B2C and B2B enterprise-level VOIP
services.
He made it possible for
anyone to buy new phone numbers and use them alongside your real
number.
To launch
AffinityClick, Justin didn’t build new
infrastructure.
Like any great SaaS that scales quickly, his product simply
connected the dots between pre-existing technology and
services.
But knowing
how to do that? Yeah, that’s the challenge.
Check out the latest
episode below and let’s hear how he grew his VOIP tech empire.
This is an AWESOME
interview. Handling enterprise-level SaaS growth is a whole
different ball game, and Justin has mastered it. We’re chatting
about:
- Making a MASSIVE
pivot to an entire company
- The sunk cost
fallacy
- How to create OTT
tech that leverages existing tech
- How AffinityClick
almost ran out of money after $900k personal investment
- Getting to the top of
the Apple App Store
- Creating a Freemium
model that converts 65% of users
- The pains of
growth
- Buying ads to protect
your brand
- Scaling a SaaS with
SEO
Justin is a talented
guy.
He’s been an
entrepreneur for over 20 years, which means he’s seen tech
revolutions rise and fall countless times.
Yet he’s still managed
to remain successful despite the shifting trends.
I really believe that’s
what makes a great CEO and founder. It’s not your ability to get
lucky with one business decision… It’s your ability to play your
cards right again and again and again.
In the end, it’s not
luck.
It’s entrepreneurial
wisdom.
Tune in to the latest
episode to hear from Justin Shimoon’s impressive tech
knowledge.
