24 Sep 2016
Chapter 1: What is the focus of Keith Perhac's current projects?
This is The Top, where I interview entrepreneurs who are number one or number two in their industry in terms of revenue or customer base.
Chapter 2: When was SegMetrics founded and what was its first revenue?
You'll learn how much revenue they're making, what their marketing funnel looks like, and how many customers they have. I'm now at $20,000 per talk. Five and six million.
Chapter 3: How did Keith build the SegMetrics SaaS product?
He is hell-bent on global domination.
Chapter 4: What are the financial advantages of SaaS over consulting?
We just broke our 100,000-unit soul mark. And I'm your host, Nathan Latka. Okay, Top Tribe, this week's winner of the 100 bucks is Jose Avila.
Chapter 5: What strategies has Keith implemented to increase profitability?
He is a 17-year-old that doesn't want to go to college and he wants to start his own business. For your chance to win 100 bucks just like Jose every Monday morning, simply subscribe to this podcast on iTunes right now and then text the word Nathan to 33444 to prove that you did it. Folks, many of you heard I made a big league acquisition of a business.
Chapter 6: What is the current monthly revenue and customer count for SegMetrics?
NathanLacka.com forward slash send later is the name of the business. And I didn't want to give up equity to a developer because I'm a business guy.
Chapter 7: How does Keith handle customer acquisition costs?
So what I did is I used a website to find a guy named He Sheming. I paid He over $12,000 to help me build send later. And the site that I am using now is called Topdol at NathanLacka.com forward slash T-O-P. I will build SendLater into a big business and I will take it public by the time I turn 30. I'll tell you more later on in the episode.
Chapter 8: What advice does Keith have for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Top Tribe, this is episode 427. Coming up tomorrow morning, you're going to learn from Egbert. He's a super creative dad of four little ones. He buys time by minimizing expenses and launches a drone information company. Top Tribe, good morning to you. Our guest today is Keith Perhak. He is the marketing, well, he really is a marketing expert at heart who has raised as a developer and a designer.
His goal is in everything he does to take complex things and make them simple, understandable, and actionable. He runs Segmetrics and DelphiNet, a technical marketing agency that helps companies build highly optimized evergreen sales funnels. Keith, are you ready to take us to the top? I am ready to take you to the top. Thanks for having me, Nathan. You bet. Yeah.
So tell me, what's more of your focus right now? Segmetrics or DelphiNet?
Oh, man, that's that's a hard question because they're both near and dear to me. The I will say right now that DelphiNet probably takes up the lion's share of the time. So DelphiNet is the consulting side. We work with some of the big names in the info product industry, building out evergreen funnels, supporting their launches and doing all that fun stuff.
Segmetrics is a tool we started about a year and some change ago. And we built it because we work mainly in Infusionsoft and other CRMs like that. And it's so freaking hard to get the data we needed to be able to prove to our clients that, hey, we're doing a great job. Look at this, right?
Yeah. Okay, good. So let's focus on Segmetrics. You just talked a little bit about what it does. What year did you found the business in?
So we founded that last year. I believe it was around April.
Okay. And tell us, just give us a little bit of sense of timing. So April last year was founding date. What did you do in your first year of revenue? So 2015.
Ah, Segmetrics was actually pretty low. I think we were doing around 20, 30 K MRR the first year. Sorry, annual first year. Okay, good.
