A customer called and dropped a bombshell.
"We just closed 9 six figure deals from leads you generated 10 months ago."
I asked the obvious: "Did you change the content or the offer?"
Nope. They just kept nurturing. They just kept sending newsletters.
They immediately increased their spend on Breaker.
B2B newsletters are about the long tail.
Cold outbound only captures the small % of the market ready to buy now. And a huge % of your prospects rarely browse X.
A well targeted B2B newsletter is THE most effective channel for long-term sales nurturing.
Right place, right time, right message.
Re: Stage 3. Yes. I made every page on our website readable for agents in plaintext by adding .md to any URL. I want all of your agents on my website.
Delta, Chase and Amazon are blocking AI agents.
The war on agents has begun, and here’s how it probably plays out:
Stage 1: Companies block agents because agents skip the ads and upsells.
Stage 2: Agents learn to act like humans, and it becomes an arms race.
Stage 3: The market splits. Companies that make money on sales let agents in, companies that make money on data charge for access, and the giants build their own agents.
Stage 4: A trusted middle layer for agent identity and payments becomes the standard way in.
Stage 5: Companies that welcome agents start winning customers from the ones that block them.
Stage 6: The agent blockers come back and let agents in on their own terms.
Stage 7: Everyone starts competing for agents with better prices, faster checkout and SEO built for agents.
Stage 8: The ads come back, and companies pay to be your agent’s first recommendation.
Stage 9: The agent war ends, and selling to agents becomes as normal as having a website.
in Chicago starting a gambling company is considered "going legit" and that's just part of its charm
A hotel is just a bedroom wrapper, but everyone already has a bedroom. I just don't see a market for hotels.
Observing a new phishing pattern. It appears attackers may be using Google tracking redirects to make URLs appear more legitimate. Be careful!
E.g., google[.]com/url?q=[destination]
Out of nowhere Muse suggests I may want to pay an arborist $1225 , with one click, just because they sent me a proposal
I didn’t ask for ANY of this , I’ve barely used muse, and I’m one button away from sending money …it’s a wild design decision.
Absolutely reckless
If you've been one of those "I just hire smart people and get out of their way" founders, average AI use will be a regression in quality but a gain in speed or cost
But if you've been the "smart person" those founders hire, AI is an absurd force multiplier
I'm really hoping with the advent of "actually not horrendous vibe coding" and "the year of the Linux desktop" we can make Kdenlive actually the best video editor
forgetting to cancel a subscription and then getting the receipt is the financial equivalent of stepping on a lego
my local library has been the victim of a series of distillation attacks by over the past 6 months. we believe they may be... CHINESE orchestrating their distillation with over 200,000 library cards
