[The story of how Simplero is doing]

 

Recently I got this VERY short (but interesting) email from a new customer, whom I had just chatted with a few days before to help her get started with Simplero.

This is all she wrote: 

Thanks! We just had a great hour together.

Christi

 

She was referring to an hour she spent with our head of Concierge, Beth.

I just love getting feedback like that, but I also like to know what we specifically did, that made the customer happy...

So I asked her …

New feature: Make sections on a page or landing page conditional

Did you ever wish that you could hide a section on a page or landing page while you're working on it, but still save it, so you don't risk losing your work?

Now you can!

Did you ever wish you could make a specific section on a page only show up to some of the visitors, depending on their situation?

Well, now you can!

Watch the video to find out how!

New feature: Countdown automations without the fuss

Ever wanted to send a series of countdown emails leading up to some event, such as a webinar, the start of a course, or a subscription renewing or expiring?

The problem was, what if people join the automation late? In that case, they'd get all of the emails before that point all at once. That's obviously not very helpful.

So we fixed it!

Now go do something useful with it!

[The story of how Simplero is doing]

 

So, did you watch Calvin's recent "State of the Simplero"-talk already?

If not, here is why you should do it.

And I would argue...

Why you should re-visit it, even if you DID watch it.

This talk is so darn riddled with gold nuggets you can use to steer clear of hazardous icebergs in your own business. I just watched it for the second time and was taking notes like crazy. I realize that your business may be a lot different from ours—but that is actu…

Tips from a boat-trip

 

Let me tell you (yet another) story.

(I wish some of it wasn't true).

In February 2019 Simplero's marketing team met up in San Diego. We attended a very interesting marketing conference, but maybe even more important; we got together to pump up our teams' internal synergy (which is always magical). On the very first day, Calvin had bought us tickets for a 5 hour trip on a luxury yacht with a helicopter pad and free drinks. Apart from being a nice gesture, the hours…

How cool the president (Calvin) really is...

True story.

When I was a boy, I thought I was really strong, so one time I was visiting a traveling fair with my cousins, and there was this boxing ball that you could punch to see how much of a big man you were.

I broke my wrist that day, my arm was put in plaster from knuckles to shoulder, and I reckon that would have stopped most teenagers from pursuing any goal.

But I was dead set on publishing a new bi-monthly magazine about a British rock'n'roll artist.

And bear in mind, we had no pers…

How Beth got fully booked..

(How to decide if we're a match) 

 

This internal message came up in Simplero's chat-app a few days ago.

(I've shortened it for this purpose, but you get the picture—some resources are scarce).

= = =

Hi all,

I wanted to make everyone aware that Concierge appointments are fully booked for next week.

We have 5 Concierge Migration customers starting next week, plus ongoing clients...

So I'm asking for your help to manage expectations for new folks.

Could Support and Marketing staff drop me…

[Part 2 of 2] Joshua and the (sprint) juice

... and the superpower that made Simplero happen.

 

Joshua who—from what I hear—writes the meanest code, had one fantastic insight to share the other day at our daily huddle. The daily huddle is a 15 minutes meeting we have to hold ourselves and each other accountable for what we're working on and a chance to share if we're blocked on anything. When you work with colleagues many timezones apart, it's nice to have these meetings.

After all, there is no water cooler in Simplero.

Like Asgard…

[Part 1 of 2] How to sprint your way out of boredom and into engagement

... and the superpower that made Simplero happen.

 

It's funny, but true.

I can't talk to anyone about how I love to run on a treadmill, without them telling me how it's so beautiful to run in nature, not being stuck inside a fitness studio.

Well.

Maybe I don't like nature, okay!?

Actually, it's not that at all.

But what is it then?

Why do I love sprinting on the treadmill more than any other cardio exercise?

Well, for one thing, I would probably fall and hurt myself if I tried to do…

What made Clive and the Spindlerman go all in?

They both had resistance at first.

 

This was posted in our Facebook Group recently by one of our (many) happy Simplero users.

 

I'm gushing! Seriously.

I was using Leadpages as I never really got my head around Simpleros landing page design interface, Leadpages was drag and drop simplicity with lots of pretty bells and whistles.

I decided to go all in with Simplero a couple of weeks ago and had the team replicate my Wordpress website.

It now looks as good and no need for integrations.…
