Making the Turn from Data Inventory to Helpful Information with Mara Reiff, the Chief Data Officer of FreshBooks

If data is in a pool that only keeps getting deeper as data inventory is accounted for, when is the exact moment for a business leader to jump in to do something with all the accumulated information? Leaders who care about data appreciate that it’s necessary to take stock before analyzing and strategizing. But taking inventory could be all one does because, whether it’s in a small or large business, the amount of data is only increasing. Mara Reiff, the Chief Data Officer of FreshBooks, suggests to account for enough data to begin the work and then to dive in.

Main Takeaways

Taking Stock and Then Activating: A company must take inventory of its data, of course. But taking stock of data is a perpetual process. So, the trick becomes knowing when enough data has been collected so that you can move to applying that information to solve particular problems on behalf of customers.
Being a Data Advocate: With so much data at any singular organization, there can be a natural tendency to want to put one person in charge of all data and for that individual to have total responsibility, Reiff made the point that it’s impossible to be responsible for all data if one is not in control of who is adding all the data. Over time, she has come to see her role as being a leader who advocates for all the company’s data to be used in a responsible and constructive manner.
A Scientific Data Mentality: Accumulating data at a business is not done for its own sake. Whether one has a science background or not, using data to help customers is about hypothesizing, testing, making a case, and then acting on that basis. Sometimes it’s about finding a particular customer with an issue that needs addressing; other times it’s about anticipating customer needs and acting accordingly to address them.
ML and NLP: Many leaders in the data field are excited about the prospects of machine learning and natural language processing. One area to zero in on as a benefit is how NLP can really help in the area of translation; particularly for companies that operate in many countries. The mission for FreshBooks is to make accounting easier for small businesses, which the company serves in 160 countries. Translating language accurately and efficiently would certainly smooth and simplify accounting practices, among many other applications for other industries.

Kanadisches Unicorn Freshbooks übernimmt FastBill

Interview mit René Maudrich, Co-Founder & CEO von FastBill

In unserer Mittagsfolge begrüßen wir heute René Maudrich, Co-Founder & CEO von FastBill, mit dem wir u.a. über den Exit des deutschen Software-Anbieters durch Freshbooks sprechen.

Das Startup aus Frankfurt FastBill begann vor 10 Jahren damit, eine Software für die papierlose Buchhaltung zu entwickeln. Die beiden Gründer René Maudrich und Christian Häfner und ihr 30-köpfiges Team erhielten lange nach der Gründung im Jahr 2011 erste Investorengelder. Zum Zeitpunkt der Übernahme soll Fastbill nach Angaben von René Maudrich einen „mittleren siebenstelligen Betrag“ umgesetzt haben.

Jetzt wird das Frankfurter Startup durch das kanadische Unicorn Freshbooks übernommen. Freshbooks ist ein Anbieter für cloudbasierter Finanzsoftware und derzeit in über 160 Ländern vertreten. Auch in Deutschland ist das Unternehmen aktiv und bietet seinen Service in erster Linie Freelancerinnen und Freelancern sowie kleineren Dienstleisterinnen und Dienstleistern an. Das Unicorn sammelte zuletzt bei einer Finanzierungsrunde von Barclays und JP Morgan insgesamt 120 Millionen Dollar ein, wovon es einen Teil für Übernahmen verwenden kann. Gemeinsam mit FastBill sollen neue Plattformfunktionen entwickelt und in weitere Märkte expandiert werden.

Myth Buster: FreshBooks’ Paul Cowan Debunks the Single-Source-of-Truth Myth

There’s a notion among marketers that the way to provide the best customer experience is to have the richest data. After all, to CMOs and most modern marketers, data is basically the key to unlocking customer success. But to provide those marquee customer experiences, there’s a myth swirling around that the only way to have success is if all your data sets live in one place. You need the mythical “single source of truth.” But is a single source of truth actually attainable in today’s oversaturated martech ecosystem? Paul Cowan is the CMO of FreshBooks, and he isn’t so sure.

“Having a single source of truth is next to impossible. I haven't been in any organization where anybody said, ‘Man, our data is in a perfect state. Here it is. Here's our 360 view of the customer. We're done, clap your hands and walk away.’ That doesn't exist. You need to have your single source of truth in terms of what you believe success looks like, and everybody's aligned to that...But I think being able to have that 360 view of the customer is the hard part.”

Having a better understanding of who your customers are is something all marketers are striving for today, and it’s something that Paul and his team are working toward. But while a single source of truth might not be attainable, there are avenues to create a clearer picture to work with. On this episode of Marketing Trends, Paul joined me for a fun conversation covering a host of topics, including what it will mean to build FreshBooks’ data strategy to target an SMB market in dire need of reliable insights. Paul and I also discussed how FreshBooks reorganized its marketing department to eliminate siloed segments, and why the best marketers need to have an understanding of their sales counterparts. Enjoy!

Main Takeaways

Do you Understand Where I’m Coming From?: In order for marketing and sales to have true alignment, both departments must have a clear understanding of the pain points that the other is experiencing. When marketing is under the direction of sales, it does not work. And when marketers don’t have a clear understanding of the sales process, there tends to be miscommunication. If you want true alignment between both, marketers and sales individuals must understand the roles of the other.
Tension Builds Success: Healthy tension between sales and marketing is okay, as long as that tension is focused on building the overall relationship and strength of the brand. When there is tension between the two departments, it keeps both parties on their toes and responsive to the other. When those lines of communication are closed, there’s more room for complacency.
Sources Say: The idea of a single source of truth for your data might be unrealistic, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t harness your first-party data to create a clearer picture of your target audience. A single source of truth should be about understanding the value of your datasets, but also understanding the best way to use your data.

Tech Evolution with Sanjay Parekh

If your business ideas have ever been more of an airball than a total slam dunk, take heart: you are not alone. Sanjay Parekh is known for being ahead of the game as an entrepreneur, but even he’s had off-days. Take Pizza Impulse, his idea for pizza delivery that relied on random demand, random supply, and push messaging. His sales total on that project was a whopping two pizza pies. “There have been stinkers like that over time, but with the stinkers, you learn a lot,” he laughs.

Of course, you don’t know Sanjay because he’s a failed pizza emperor: you know him as the head of Mirage Data, a start-up that protects your data without sacrificing usability, as well as a founder of TogetherLetters. In his past, he co-founded Digital Envoy and Prototype Prime, and ran events like 2015’s Startup Riot. He’s also a host of Tech Talk Y’All, a biweekly comedy tech podcast. Is there anything this guy can’t do? (Besides running a pizza company...but we’ll forgive him for that.)

Like many entrepreneurs, Sanjay got his start in middle school. He was a candy-bar broker: buying piles of the sweet stuff and then selling to his peers. “If you ask a room of 100 entrepreneurs, more than 50 of them will say they did something like that.” He turned his early earnings into comic books, some of which he still has today.

In 1999, after graduating from Georgia Tech, Sanjay had an idea that would “make the internet better.” He noticed that the FedEx and IKEA websites were still relying on customers to select their countries before they could begin shopping, but suspected there was a tech workout-around that would smooth out that step. At work the next day, his colleague told him, “It’s either impossible to do, or somebody’s already done it,” but nope: Sanjay found that it was possible and he was first. Digital Envoy was born of this idea, and Sanjay left that colleague behind in 2000. Digital Envoy raised 1.5M in 2000, and 10.5M the following year; selling that first company in 2007 has let Sanjay “continue on this crazy entrepreneurial journey ever since then.”

A lot has changed since those heady early-internet days, and Sanjay isn’t nostalgic. For one, “You didn’t have the infrastructure stuff that we have now. You don’t need to buy servers. You don’t need to buy storage space.” While Sanjay’s early tech needs often gobbled up his large investments, “A lot of companies are able to start now without having to raise much money or any money at all.” Folks can now get in without huge initial investments, relying on quick, cheap, and global solutions like the cloud.

Being a tech-minded entrepreneur hasn’t always been champagne and gala events. Holding patents means that Sanjay has had to sit through “excruciating” sessions in order to explain the nitty-gritty of his products, but doing so “builds a moat to protect the company.” He doesn’t go for the NDA mindset—Sanjay figures that, with seven billion people on the planet, someone else probably has the same idea as him, somewhere—and he says that talking about his ideas is one way of finding out who else is solving that problem, or even why the problem can’t be solved in the first place.

He extends that philosophy to the way he approaches all his projects. “You’ve gotta become an extrovert when you’re an entrepreneur, at least in terms of business.” He credits his relationships with strengthening his business: from loyal connections to getting the support staff on board, and from funding events, to board service, relationships are where “good things happen” as an entrepreneur. Where are your best connections?

A Fearless Future with Rebecca Minkoff

For Jewish girls, the bat mitzvah is a pivotal moment of becoming a young adult and joining the adult community. For Rebecca Minkoff, who had been designing and sewing clothes since she was eight years old, the celebration was also a chance to showcase her fashion skills—and her “newly budding rack.” Pulling inspiration from the 1700s (think Bridgerton), Rebecca designed a square-necked, Empire-waist number that checked her boxes (and her parents made sure it stayed PG-13). For Rebecca, this was a foundational step in the lifelong process of becoming a fashion mogul. Now, in 2021, Rebecca Minkoff has flagship stores in LA, Hong Kong and New York City, among others; she’s also distributed by more than 900 companies worldwide.

While Rebecca has enjoyed early boosts to her brand—Jenna Elfman wore her “I Love New York” shirt on The Jay Leno Show in 2001—Rebecca has also worked hard to cultivate her business’s profile. For example, when she launched the Morning After Bag (also known as the M.A.B.) in 2005, she leveraged her industry connections, working relationships with Hollywood agents and stylists to ensure that the highly photographed celebrities of the early aughts all had a Rebecca Minkoff bag on their arm.

But getting there wasn’t easy: she’s navigated debts, doubts, and setbacks along the way. For example, Rebecca tells us she was once fired from a job after the CEO pulled her aside and told her that if she didn’t start channelling the passion she was putting into her own side hustle into the CEO’s fashion business, she’d be let go. Rebecca countered with, “I don’t honestly think I can do that.” At the time, Rebecca had small collections in only a handful of New York City stores, but her dedication to her own vision meant letting go of her main gig. “There was no safety net,” she recalls. Rebecca has since been in the CEO’s position, and she’s made the same tough call. “When you’re half-assing two things, you’ll never be able to fully focus on either.”

When the M.A.B. took off, Rebecca sensed her company’s reputation was starting to hinge on a single product. So she quickly escalated production on a range of offerings, from jewelry to clothing. “We knew we wanted to be a lifestyle brand, and the only way to do that was to go full-force and launch these other categories.” Her company president at the time was from the apparel world, and Rebecca herself had experience with women’s clothing design. She also brought on a shoe expert who could take them from design to manufacture. “We kept finding best-of-breed partners.” Unwilling to do a licensing agreement, she entered into manufacturing agreements—very normal in fashion—and she encourages people to explore different types of partnerships for themselves in their own businesses.

One of her most important partnerships is with her brother, who joined the company full-time in 2011. He had loaned her seed money for M.A.B. launch years earlier, and their partnership over the years has had ups and downs. Rebecca tells us that when things get really intense, she and Uri “hired a business mediator to help us when we get those critical impasses:” someone to “unsnarl the tangles” when the business and personal relationships become complicated.

Since 2018, Rebecca has also been channelling her creative leadership energy into the Female Founder Collective, a network for female business owners that offers education and resources. She’s also recently published a book, Fearless, that walks readers through her 21 steps for bravery in the face of business uncertainty. “My goal with the book is to throw out the rules: know you’re going to be scared, but do those things anyway.” She knows, from long personal experience, that taking risks is not a fearless endeavor, but moving through fear is a key step for success.

The Founder Of FreshBooks.com Shares Lessons From Scaling To Over 24 Million Users

Mike McDerment founded FreshBooks.com because he saw the need for a better solution to invoicing clients. In this episode, he shares the importance of culture and values in growing a global powerhouse.

Company culture is a loose concept that is not easy to precisely describe, but according to Mike, it is the difference between a successful company and one that is destined to ebb away. It is the X-factor that gets stuff done.

Culture is the invisible thing in any company. It is what you do when no one is looking. You may ask why this is important to the success of an organization, but as Mike explains in this episode, it really impacts all aspects of the company.

To cultivate a strong company culture, you have to start by figuring out what your values are. These values then serve as the reference point to guide the behavior of everybody in the team.

Tune in to learn why culture is so valuable to a company and how to cultivate it and sustain it as you scale.

Growing a Business on Social Media with Nai, aka LABeautyologist

Nai Roberts-Smith might be the mega-popular skincare expert labeautyologist these days, but like many entrepreneurs, she started in a dorm room. She was an amateur nail technician, complete with a wall of polish colours, and she would do nails for less than the price of lunch. “I had a group of friends who all did beauty services,” she says a barber, a few pals who did hair, and a league of friends acting as low-key brand ambassadors across campus.

When she left college, she joined a salon as a nail tech but has aspirations of becoming an esthetician—a licensed professional who does facials and other skin-care treatments, usually at a spa. “I was good at nails, I liked doing it, and I felt kind of stifled by that.” But her hometown shop was full of estheticians, and they were unwilling to add Nai to their roster. She debated bringing her skills onboard cruise ships before realizing she would likely find work anywhere that was beautiful—Jamaica, Hawaii, Miami, or her new hometown, Los Angeles.

In LA, Nai was “broke,” but she knew the demand was there: she could stand on a busy street corner and see three spas on a single block. As she launched her business, she made a strategic decision to grow her social media presence as well. “I knew I had to reach people who weren’t just right in front of me.” She launched her YouTube channel as soon as she moved to LA. “Being on social media has completely advanced and changed my career trajectory;” she now has almost a half-million subscribers.

Sometimes entrepreneurs get tripped up on how to translate online impressions to actual sales, but Nai has a knack for it. When she started, Nai would demo her treatments on Twitter and YouTube and encouraged LA locals to book in with her; at the time, 45% of her clients came from that sales funnel. She examined her analytics for out-of-town interest—like the viewers watching from Atlanta and New York—and headed to those cities for pop-up skincare treatments. “Fifteen people made it worth the trip,” especially after she factored in word-of-mouth promotion and local hype.

It might seem counterintuitive to give away knowledge that she could be charging for, but Nai says it’s actually a sales driver when she does. Maya Elious taught Nai that if she wasn’t able to give away her knowledge for free, “you’re not even knowledgeable enough to be an expert in what it is you’re doing.” Nai estimates that, though she’s shared plenty across various platforms over the last five years, it only represents about 10% of her body of expertise, and her interactions with fans and clients make the trade-off worth it.

She’s also a master of the thoughtful pivot. When COVID forced her to shutter her spa last summer, her collaborations with brands like Fenty and Target became much more important. She also launched her own line of merch, a spa-inspired line of garments including robes, turbans, and scrunchies. “I’m still talking to the same people.” Her third line of defence against COVID losses was launching a virtual consulting stream.

Nai sees herself as filling an important gap in esthetics: as a darker-skinned Black woman, she brings knowledge about melanated skin and its unique needs to an industry that doesn’t always cater to them. “When I went to esthetics school, there were very few women of colour who went to the school.” Working with different skin tones and types is a key factor in successful treatments, and Nai says, “I felt like my presence made the other estheticians better.” Through some of her content and partnerships, she’s started filling the gaps in esthetic’s typical service and knowledge. “I’m here to talk to people who weren’t spoken to before.”

Treat Your Business Like a Video Game- Bryan Clayton

In 1998, Bryan Clayton was one more 18 year old with a lawnmower, keeping his neighbour’s outdoor spaces nice and tidy. His marketing strategy wasn’t much more than a photocopied flyer. But over the next 15 years, his landscaping business—by then called Peach Tree—took on major corporate clients and grew to employ over 150 people and bring in more than $10M annually.

But going big meant that they were leaving behind the little guys. Peach Tree was past the point of taking on $30 homeowner jobs, but frequent calls from potential clients proved the demand still existed. Taking inspiration from Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb, his app GreenPal was designed to connect customers with lawn care companies who operate on a smaller scale.

GreenPal’s business has doubled every year in the last eight years. His initial value proposition has stayed mostly the same—referring customers to companies—but 300,00 people use the app, and he’s bringing in $20M in revenue each year. By cutting out the legwork of researching company names and reviews, organizing payment, and setting up a lawn care schedule, the app goes way beyond the typical “neighbour kid with a lawnmower” set-up and ties up loose ends for both customers and the companies they work with.

That’s not to say the early days weren’t tough, but never underestimate how far a little naivete can take you. “If I had known how hard it was going to be, I would have gotten scared and never started,” Clayton laughs about the app’s early days. With two co-founders and no one knowing how to code, they put $150K into the first version of GreenPal, and it was...a failure! The next three years were spent supercharging their tech skills and developing a robust customer service feedback loop that continues to this day. When they relaunched, the grass was indeed greener on the other side.

It also helped that Clayton’s partners were well-chosen thick-and-thin types, a relationship that he compares to a marriage. One of our listeners, Gabby from Austin, asks about the value of a co-founder, and Clayton recommends careful consideration. “Don’t just go get a co-founder because you think you have to,” he says. Though there is start-up wisdom behind having both the hustler and the hacker on your team, Clayton reminds us that a co-founder partnership may last longer than some marriages (and be messier to dissolve if the day ever comes).

They keep themselves default alive, so their profits don't outweigh business expenses, and they keep their burn rate low. Taking a practical, sustainable, slow-and-low approach—which he recommends for nearly all small businesses—meant that they could keep going when things get tough. GreenPal also inadvertently tapped into our society's “contactless” needs during a pandemic, a consumer mode that people now use for everything from clothing to groceries.

Clayton credits his personal and business growth with a surprising Super Mario mindset. “Look at your business like a video game,” he says. “You only have to beat level one, throw up the flag, and get through a level at a time.” By focusing on just one or two key things at a time, Clayton says, entrepreneurs can be heroic about setting goals and moving their businesses forward. “I really wanted to make something of myself, and I felt like business was the vehicle for me to do that.”
