Can you believe 2023 is just around the corner? Trying to pack in a few more awesome episodes for ya before the new year AND before Season 3 of the show kicks off. For this episode I brought back Patrick Campbell (founder and CEO at ProfitWell). I’ve had Patrick on before, Episode 54 (that was 1 year ago!). Go check it out if you haven't yet. We talked a lot about “inbound media” (vs. inbound marketing) and how ProfitWell was building up their marketing engine. ProfitWell got acquired by Paddle (Series D startup) in May 2022. ProfitWell was founded in 2012. They've been bootstrapped all the way through acquisition. ProfitWell helps recurring revenue (SaaS + subscription + DTC) businesses with their monetization and retention strategies. Their tagline: “Drive subscription revenue while you sleep.” Here's what we hit on in this follow-up episode: ProfitWell's Marketing Plan before being acquired, what was your planning process like? Where did you put your dollars; Paddle acquisition - what did you have to get right on the marketing + sales side in order to set yourself up for being acquired? And what allowed you/the team to get those things right. You can find Patrick on LinkedIn. Find out more about ProfitWell by Paddle.
