Founder's Cafe Episode 052
David Bitzan
I'm Jeroen from Salesflare and this is Founder Coffee.
Every two weeks, I have coffee with a different founder. We discuss our lives, our passions, what we've learned, ... in an intimate interview, to get to know the person behind the company.
For this fifty-second episode, I spoke with czech republic cell phone number list Susanne Klepsch, co-founder of MeetFox, a platform that allows coaches , lawyers and other independent professionals to schedule, meet and invoice all at once.
After brief stints in the tourism and automotive industries, Susanne took over sales at her father's plastics companies after his death. After taking on a management position in which she was suddenly responsible for 120 employees, she started looking for a coach.
This process was so long and transparent that she decided to launch CoachFox, an online marketplace for coaching services. She spent a lot of time developing the technology behind this marketplace, creating a seamless coaching experience. She then spun off this product into a separate company, which is now called MeetFox. At least, that’s the short version of the story.
We talk about how we learned to love process, why as a small business you should do things that don't scale to compete, how hard it is to convert freemium users, and why Susanne regrets not choosing a niche much earlier.
