    How to introduce lower pricing for a recurring service

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    Yes, most of our customers are aware, their name comes up often enough when people do not continue with the trial. We ask them for feedback if they cancel. And since we tend to be very generous - no hassle, no problem - with refunding within the first 60 days, that positive gesture makes them...

    How to introduce lower pricing for a recurring service

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    Hey all, Apologies if this is not the correct forum, but I was looking or advice on pricing strategy and how it relates to existing customers, so I assumed that falls under Marketing questions. We have a software-as-a-service product, with both monthly and annual recurring subscriptions...

    E-commerce: $100k in one hour

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Congrats! Must have felt pretty sweet! Playing devil's advocate though and just trying to ask critical questions: You're talking about sales, and you had a 20% discount on the widgets, so the question then remains of course how much that cut into your margins. I mean, you can have a mega sale...

    Stock Market Trading Rotation System

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Looks like a nice source, but it looks like they do not have Stock Options as datafeed, am I correct? Does anyone know of feeds that als offer Options feeds? Could definitely be delayed or even daily. I'm looking to build a 'covered calls' tools, so i would need data for both the options and...

    What are the differences between running a one-man company in Germany versus in the US?

    Hey @FlightFight , I can not speak to the exact difference, but I think my background is very closely aligned: I've been self-employed / contractor , for about 10 years in Canada (whose business climate, as far as bureaucracy is very similar to that of the US, albeit slightly higher taxed)...

    The Video That Got Banned From YouTube. David Icke on C0VlD-19 and 5G

    HOT! 
    As most people here seem to say: there are some interesting points to the interviews. And I agree, you have to question everything. But at the same time I can see how this type of messaging can be considered dangerous as it preys on those that need something to grasp onto in these times. And...

    MEETUPS 
    Hey, I would still be up for it. I'm in the IT world myself so ML and algorithms are definitely something of interest to me as well! Which city are you in? I'm in Utrecht myself but travel to Amsterdam for tech meetups quite regularly.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Awesome @MJ DeMarco , just tried it out! Beyond getting the grading, just as importantly it makes you stop and think about these questions and how your idea look in that light.

    I wont be able to pay rent this month, what to do?

    HOT! 
    Hey @RibljaCorba , Speaking from my experience as an independent contract developer for the last few decades: First of all, you may be very experienced in your field, but beyond work experience something you should really consider is having some safety net. If you want to continue working on...

    Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

    MEETUPS 
    Sorry for my tardiness! :hilarious: We should.. I've been a bit swamped finding a new "zzp" contract for the next while, which I now landed. But want to make sure I don't get sucked too deep into the "employee"-like world so will definitely need the Fastlane mindset to keep me sane. Maybe we...

    Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

    MEETUPS 
    Anyone still interested in picking up this endeavour? I'm in tech space myself, have been working in North America and now that I'm back in the Netherlands i've found the ecosystem a lot less encouraging for entrepreneurs. Need more like minded people around me!

    Hey, i ran into your profile looking for the subject of Amsterdam (or just Netherlands) fastlane meetings. I'm in tech myself and always looking for opportunities. Are you still entrepreneurial, interested in trying to kickstart some effort in NL? Cheers, Martijn
