If you're generating something that's brand new, like a brand new category, nobody understands about it. In my past roles at ACORN, GitLab, whenever I started as a head of growth, one of the data points I will look into is what's the percentage of new users coming back the second day or coming back second month? I do that a lot.

Jason Lemkin: 50 reps in a new city that you’ve never met, and hired in 60 days when you’re in the low millions ARR. And instead of investing in managers, people to manage a group of people, and get them motivated and keep them focused on metrics, we invested in a bunch of automation. This is how you demo it.

Not only does your sales team need to bring new customers through the door, but they also need to ensure that what they’re selling matches up exactly with those customers’ expectations. Marketing campaigns for B2C subscription companies should focus on driving trial and demo conversions, which is more powerful in low-touch sales situations.

As nicely illustrated in the book, this gets you a slice that works: In week 1, we aim to carve out, build, and demo our first slice, beginning a pattern that will continue throughout the cycle.

Over the past few years, we've seen a new role emerging at within scaling startups - the growth engineer. These roles are filled by engineers that roll up to the CMO/COO (not CTO) as part of a growth team. This is not new. They might have focused on different areas, but applying the scientific method to marketing is not new.

What about, as someone who’s gone from your own solo GP fund in 2012 to a team, how does a founder think about a new partner? Because, on the one hand it’s exciting, and what I see a lot today is founders often bond with a new partner. If I get picked, do I want the more experienced partner, the new partner?

Just as a CTO may have to explain the importance of technical projects to a CEO, the CMO needs to educate the CEO on the various ways marketing can drive their business. Beyond that, with new data privacy laws attribution is actually becoming more difficult and less possible than it was 5 or 10 years ago. Look for a new team.

When you’re selling perfume to strangers through a (scent-free) screen, you’ve got three key levers: Language : turn a “perfume sample pack” into “fragrance wardrobe”, Demo : touch the product, use it, show your love for it, so the customer can follow and. The New Sales is about Relationships. Metrics matters.
