He talks Ryan through his framework for turning a product into a platform and how to do so whilst destroying a highly competitive market.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

•  Previously a 100% Direct Sales model, Maropost now focuses on three go-to-market strategies: Direct Sales, Free Trials, and No-Touch Model.
• Maropost started as a marketing automation solution but has since built multiple products; including commerce cloud, retail cloud as well as service cloud due to launch very soon.
• Maropost has a great reputation with its customers and growth was built largely by referrals and word of mouth.
• The market Maropost moves in is incredibly competitive due to the sheer volume of solutions. Driving more value is how they set themselves apart and is also their main growth strategy.
• When making decisions about Maropost, Ross tries to keep simplicity in mind. He tries to avoid making decisions that result in overcomplicated processes and products.
• Having one product makes it easier to manage and creates consolidation which is reflected in simplicity for your customers too.
