Show Notes

MicroConf is coming and we’re psyched! We take a glimpse at the schedule for this year’s event and we talk about what we’re looking forward too. Brian has an update on his pricing issue with ProcessKit and the conclusion he came too. Jordan is happy to announce that Carthook’s plateau is over!

Brian tries to help him pinpoint the cause but the answer seems to be a combination of things. We also talk about customer service and when is it best to just redirect a customer to another service or product? What’s the best way to save everyone some time and manpower?

[tweetthis]On my mind right now with ProcessKit... is on-boarding, getting them to switch to it and getting them committed to it. I think that's probably going to be the biggest challenge with selling this product. -- Brian [/tweetthis]
