Brought to you by Thrive Revenue. We help startups grow faster.
Hello friend,
Half our team was on vacation and I hired a General Manager.
Here’s what I shared with our team and clients this week:
Invest in onboarding
"Nothing I do over the next 3 months is more important than helping you succeed."
Our new GM is a key hire to help us drive stronger results for clients and meet growing demand. I cleared my calendar and spent two full days onboarding him to make sure he was set up to win.
Put your price and open spots on your website
Google is rolling out an AI tool to call local businesses to ask pricing and availability.
Either put it up once or answer more and more AI calls until you give in.
Use AI as your thinking partner
I exported a decade of Apple Notes into Obsidian. Then I had Claude Code analyze it and generate a content strategy.
I added Whispr Flow and using my computer by talking to it feels like magic.
Plan workshops with real data
If you want to set up a workshop sales funnel it can be hard to find the right time.
Here's a Looker template heatmap of when your users are visiting your site.

Hit the 3 dots -> Make a Copy -> Copy Report -> Under Setup hit Data Source -> Add Data -> Add your GA4 property
Momentum > Perfection
A bike that’s not moving falls when you try to steer.
A bike in motion you can guide it anywhere.
That’s newsletter #2, hope you liked it.
Cheers,
Will Pate
