@channel, noticed something cool this past week (maybe it just dawned on me). As I'm now reviewing all new profiles of members coming into the community... There are many folks working for great companies that are coming into RevGenius listing themselves as founders for their side hustles. Love seeing this and there's definitely signal of folks about to venture off on their own (has been increasing for a while, but even more so now). If that's you, would love to know what you're building (🧵 what you're working on building in your spare time).
what are you working on building for your next thing?
This is a cool prompt ❤️ 🚀 I build because I like to build and no longer get a chance to build as much in my day job - but I don't sell 😅 When I joined, I was building a geo experimentation platform. When I ran our first large scale geo experiments for WordPress.com's paid media spend back in 2019, we were spending tens of millions of dollars a year on ads and the tests showed that 90% of it was non-incremental (sales would have happened anyway). We stopped all advertising for 2.5 years due to the incrementality test and in 2023, we rebuilt the entirety of our marketing strategy relying on geo experimentation. At the time, this had to be built via in-house teams and required engineering, data science / stats /ML, and MLOps knowledge. Today, there are a myriad of companies offering it, which is awesome to see. Now I am building a knowledge-base-in-a-box and proactive AI agent for paid media alerts. Like Optmyzr but without the clunkiness and with budget protection flows built-in. We are also exploring an AI Enablement consultancy with a colleague of mine - dependent on COI.

Pricing is the only problem I guess 😂😂 I fund it using my other product and it acts as a good lead magnet Jared R.

Working on something called Dealtree in my spare time. The idea came from repeatedly seeing deals stall because reps couldn’t clearly map the buying group or understand the internal power structure of an account. Dealtree generates an org chart of the target company and highlights who actually holds influence or buying authority, plus suggests how to approach the account and who to multi-thread with. Still very early and validating the idea. Interestingly, I already got 12 waitlist signups from RevGenius members and have been iterating based on their feedback. Curious if others here have run into the same ‘wrong champion’ problem while working deals.
Yeah! Building Igi AI - helping SDRs and AEs ramp 2x faster through challenging AI sales roleplay across all mid market and enterprise sales meetings types. Igi helps sales reps build muscle memory and confidence with the toughest sales conversations before real revenue is on line, which rapidly speeds up deal cycles and saves lost revenue. We differ from Hyperbound and other players by a) being objection / most challenging conversation focused, b) being team focused; creating an engaging environment where reps can give each other challenges, and c) sales enablement manager-friendly ; they create structured training programs for team members based on areas of improvement + focus.
Building ZiplyAI www.ziply.ai Helping brands be visible on AI answer engines. All brands need to optimize not just for SEO but also AI engines. That’s the new audience on town.
