In Today's episode I'm talking with Patrick Campbell, founder & CEO of ProfitWell. Today's conversation is going to be all about pricing, particularly, how you price your product during this kind of recessionary environment that we're in. 

We'll talk about whether or not we're actually in a recession. We're going to have a specific emphasis on SaaS products, software as a service, because Patrick specializes in that, but if you're not in SaaS, there will be tons of applications, gems, takeaways that you can apply to your business. This conversation is value packed, like Patricks framework for communicating pricing changes to your customers and how frequently you should be making those price adjustments. 

ProfitWell was recently acquired by Paddle and we'll talk about the acquisition in this episode too. So what does ProfitWell do? It is a software for helping subscription companies with their monetization and retention strategies. We've been using it for years and years and years. In fact, I have ProfitWell t-shirts that I still wear all the time. I feel like it's almost a t-shirt of my own company because I just look at my ProfitWell dashboards and metrics all the time. It feels like an internal tool. That's how much I love ProfitWell. Prior to ProfitWell, Patrick led strategic initiatives for Boston-based Gemvara and he was an economist at Google and with the US Intelligence Community. So super smart guy. Patrick, so glad to have you here.

The Great Resignation is now the Great Return! New statistics say a handful of employees who switched jobs during the pandemic are not satisfied with their new companies. Some are trying to return to their old employers, because they realized the grass wasn't greener. While I don't think this big "return" will be likely, there is one scenario where I would be open to a "return" employee myself.

In today's episode, I'm talking with HubSpot Executive, Dan Tyre. This episode is all about perfecting your inbound sales to strengthen your companies future. This conversation is from one of our live sessions during Trainual's annual event, Playbook 2022.

If you listen to my podcast, Organize Chaos, then you know I love every chance I get to talk with Dan Tyre. So we're bringing him back for another episode. I read once that you can never read the same book twice because each time you read it, you're a different person and so you receive it differently and you learn different things. And I think the same goes with interviews. So some of you may have heard Dan and I talk before, but every time we talk there will be new nuggets of wisdom, there'll be new questions, there'll be new stories that Dan tells. You can already see his energy in the chat. This guy's infectious. So let's talk about Dan, 15 year veteran of HubSpot.  

He was the first salesperson. He's expanded the sales through management and training the whole sales team. And he coined the term 'schmarketing,' which we talked about the first time I interviewed him. He's also the co-author of the book Inbound Organization. Awesome book, check that out. How to Build and Strengthen Your Company's Future.
