Episode notes
From 90% Outbound To 90% Inbound
- Aviv joined DataRails at a couple million ARR when the business was 90% outbound and rebuilt marketing to flip to inbound.
- Over 4.5 years he built paid and organic channels, grew ARR, and later became CRO after marketing began driving most revenue.
Invest In Paid Now And Build Organic For Later
- Do invest in both paid and organic channels early to get immediate results and build compounding brand equity.
- Aviv ran LinkedIn, Facebook and Google campaigns with agencies first, then built in-house teams once cost-per-meeting signals validated product-market fit.
Build Brand Now Even If Payoff Is Later
- Do treat brand as a long-term, compounding asset while still showing quarterly impact.
- Aviv started LinkedIn memes and a podcast early; brand gave credibility and now drives easier conversations even in outbound touchpoints.
