TOP QUOTES
Luke Diaz
[12:04] “30 to 40% of churn can be traced back to a failed onboarding”
[13:07] “The lack of a churn process or a lack of an exit interview process is one of the biggest mistakes I see some founders make early on.”
[16:38] “I make an investment decision based on the founder. And then I rationalize based on the product, traction and things that I learned after that.”
Matt Wolach
[8:11] “I think in the early days, we have to figure out what's best for the customer for the users. And sometimes we have to figure that out through things that don't scale. “
[19:40] “I have many of my clients who have taken my advice, and I say, “don't give up until you hear no”, and they are shocked that they get a deal on like the 21st touchpoint. And it's crazy how often that happens.”
