Many SaaS companies launch a product-led growth model —but never update it. When the executive team calls me and asks why they aren’t converting users into customers, I tell them to buy a plant.

Whilst they currently only account for around half the global workforce, by 2025, 65% of working people will be classified as ‘millennials’ – a brand that brings with it some rather hefty baggage. It’s a generation (born between the 1980s and the start of the 21st century) that have been called everything from “entitled snowflakes” to “selfie obsessed narcissists.”.

The boards of private companies have a lot of moving pieces. Strategic plans can be lengthy, with lots of committees working on lots of projects at once. When everyone does what they need to do, the company enjoys the fruits of their labor and everyone profits from that. Technology has advanced to a point that there are numerous digital apps to help boards streamline processes, improve the workflow and increase efficiency.

People are overwhelmed by messages flying at them from all directions, and it’s easy for ours to get drowned out.

Every nonprofit that accepts online donations has a donation page. But there’s a big difference between having a donation page and having an effective donation page. Your donation page may follow purported “best practices,” but you could still be losing donors and revenue. In fact, our experience running over 1,500 online fundraising A/B tests has shown that traditional “best practices” are rarely the most effective way to increase donations.
