1) An API
2) A Free Trial
3) A White Label Option

Through a combination of bad planning on my part and staff holidays, I ended up covering support this weekend.
It was interesting to see an old chestnut come up in the form of this email from an accountant.
Not impressed at all! Having been in practice over 20 years I can only say I won’t be...
I’ve blogged before about dodgy leaflets, but here’s another one.

I’m sure this has been blogged about many times before – in fact it was Richard Messiks blog post that inspired this one – but email really is broken.

The marketing manager mentioned their “viral coefficient”.
I had to raise my hand and ask what a viral coefficient actually is. The embarrassment was only slightly lessened when the majority of other people in the room...
When I started KashFlow I thought a SaaS business would be a relatively simple affair in terms of what the costs would be and where the income would come from. Things never pan out exactly as you expect.
