13. Too often we think…   “Growth = Automation Automation = Lower costs”

14. I think…   Automation = Better Experience

15. For “Quality > Quantity” to be true… We need to know more about our leads And we need to predict the sales velocity

33. It’s a simple strategy: start with free channels, then increase pressure. aka. send emails before you deliver a gift Hitting the user like that works … but isn’t optimal. It’s a mediocre experience for them and a loss of margin for us.

69. 5 year plan: Build a system that not only computes the next best action, but also it’s content. Based on all aggregated signals, that content will be perfectly crafted and vastly superior to what a human could write.

70. We reject automated emails, because today their value is lower that of emails written by a human. But when we reach a point AI fueled emails are more valuable than handcrafted emails, how will that perception change?
