Ryan is joined by the founder and Ceo of North America's fastest-growing automation platform, Maropost, Ross Andrew Paquette. Andrew grew Maropost from 300k revenue to 25 million in just three years as a one-man sales operation.

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.

BEST MOMENTS

 “We’ve now got this very defined path to significant amounts of revenue which is really what the industry needs the most of”

“There’s got to be a lot more value driven for the cost”

“I’m willing to sacrifice in some ways the cost, functionality and certain levels of efficiency because I get a whole slew of value from one product”

“There’s beauty in simplicity”
