If you’re trying to build a
SaaS, you’re wasting your time.
You should be building a TEAM.
A team of talented
developers, marketers, customer success agents and salespeople…
Then that team will
build your SaaS.
It’s a huge paradigm
shift, but it’s damn important.
Elon Musk didn’t
hand-build Tesla cars himself, Richard Branson never piloted a
Virgin aircraft, and Steve Jobs didn’t assemble the electrical
components in the first Apple iPhone.
No, these entrepreneurs
were visionaries and managers.
Your ability to inspire
and MANAGE a team is going to be the driving force of your
success.
So… what are you doing
to be a better leader and manager?
This is SUCH a high
point of leverage that I’m proud to introduce my latest guest to the Escape Velocity Podcast,
Aydin Mirzaee.
Aydin is the CEO and
co-founder of
Fellow.app, a management application for businesses that
have raised over $6.5M in capital.
His software is 100%
dedicated to helping managers run more effective teams. He’s an
expert at it.
...Which is why if
you’re ever going to scale your business, you’re going to need to
listen to this awesome interview.
Fellow.app wasn’t
Aydin’s first success. His previous company, Fluidware, grew to
$10M+ ARR before being successfully acquired by SurveyMonkey for a
lucrative exit.
In this episode, Aydin
and I get chatting about:
- Why “star performers”
are always the result of a team
- The ONLY thing a
manager should worry about
- How to spot a failing
manager
- The Fellow.app
freemium pricing model
- The value of
upflowing feedback
- Why he hires teams...
not people
- How he bootstrapped
Fluidware to $10M ARR with zero funding
Fellow.app is built on
concrete management principles that have been proven to work time
and time again.
To build an application
like that, Aydin and his team HAVE to know and
live these management principles.
And I hate to say
it…
But so do you.
The best SaaS idea
won’t find success if you don’t have the right team to carry
it.
I’m telling you… this
interview is not something to shrug off. It’s LOADED with insights
that you should be leveraging to grow and manage a better team
throughout 2021.
Listen to the episode here
and drop me a comment with your
favourite key insight.
Looking forward to
hearing from you.
