"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

It's not like in Q4 2019, sales managers say, oh, we need to have chatbots embedded in email.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

This is like, okay, I get it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

What's the data?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

Maybe we can try it out.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

So we've got a few people trying it out with like 5,000 emails, 1,000, looking at what the A-B testing was sending out 1,000 without the chatbot and 1,000 with the chatbot.

And then once we have that data, the way that, as you know, this works, it's sort of, I wouldn't say...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

everyone, if you get, if you get the data and you prove it, it wouldn't say they're all followers, but people want to see it.

You know, once you get one, everyone's like, okay, I got it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

Let's, let's try it out.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

Uh, so I think that, you know, so that's where we're at is, is, is having that data first to prove, prove out the value, you know, the value of it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

Well, that's not a metric that I'm using.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

I'm just looking at five customers, whether they're paid or unpaid.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

Well, hold on.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

I want to have five customers.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

They don't necessarily have to be paid.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

I would rather have a partner, a flagship account that someone's working with us in that relationship.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

I think money is secondary at this stage in the company.

"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

You just love these people to death.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
"Vested.io HR Tech Company Placed 100 Candidates, Doing $400k/yr "

So that's just my approach.

I think where I want to get to, if you want numbers in five years, I want a million salespeople giving us $25 a month, which is $250 million a month.
