Jim Mansfield: yeah sure thanks for having me.

5
00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:46.080
Jim Mansfield: My background is i've been in the Ad tech regeneration space for almost 20 years I started.

6
00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:47.490
To.

7
00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:52.020
Jim Mansfield: In email marketing I get into real early.

8
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.200
Jim Mansfield: Just just by accident and.

9
00:00:56.220 --> 00:01:08.250
Jim Mansfield: That started off as a few companies, I started I started a company called by and marketing group right around 2000 to focus on email marketing the company did fairly well.

10
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:18.900
Jim Mansfield: and leaving the company after four years, the company was sold after we left after I left I started a company called and tell us.

11
00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:33.150
Jim Mansfield: Where we did email marketing also and lead generation, the twist was we we went international so we went to the UK first with the company, the company is based in Colorado where, where I was living at the time.

12
00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:49.230
Jim Mansfield: And we just discovered that we went to the UK for one ad tech and we met a few partners, and we, the business was early on, so we started focusing on UK you know, marketing, which at the time was.

13
00:01:50.550 --> 00:01:59.340
Jim Mansfield: it's pretty early days, they were doing things differently than they were in the States and the sort of markets weren't connected, so we got a lot of advantage of that the response rates were higher.

14
00:02:00.300 --> 00:02:13.380
Jim Mansfield: We built a pretty good business based on that we first was in the UK, then we went throughout Europe, and even though it was an American company we focused almost entirely on the UK and Europe, and it was a.

15
00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:25.620
Jim Mansfield: This is that grew quite quite a fairly large is hundred employees at its peak zach you were there for for a little while and.

16
00:02:26.940 --> 00:02:29.730
Jim Mansfield: It was sold to zeta global.

17
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:31.890
Jim Mansfield: In 2013.

18
00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:42.840
Jim Mansfield: And you know after that i've done a couple more businesses, I was company called APP this was in mobile APP acquisition.

19
00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:51.510
Jim Mansfield: company was also sold and now last three years i've been focused on push notifications and.

20
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:59.460
Jim Mansfield: With a focus on lead generation, so our company notify Ai we have a push notification platform we work with publishers.

21
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:11.640
Jim Mansfield: That own websites, most of them are regeneration advertisers and they use our script to collect users when they come to their landing pages and websites and we help them.

22
00:03:12.090 --> 00:03:21.540
Jim Mansfield: monetize those users and give them a platform to reengage those users, so we don't we're kind of like a SAS platform we don't sell it.

23
00:03:22.740 --> 00:03:24.570
Jim Mansfield: A fee basis it's mainly just on a.

24
00:03:26.070 --> 00:03:29.370
Jim Mansfield: Performance basis on the users, we monetize.

25
00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:33.660
Jim Mansfield: And we work with some of the big players and.

26
00:03:35.070 --> 00:03:36.150
Jim Mansfield: and lead generation.

27
00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:39.930
Jim Mansfield: On point global fluent.

28
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:58.950
Jim Mansfield: Some others are people they're using our technology, and you know we're also an advertiser and publisher ourselves and regeneration so we're we're advertising legion and major categories like insurance and loans financial products and.

29
00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:11.130
Jim Mansfield: that's where we're driving revenue and also collect from users for ourself we've got about 50 million users active users in our system and we're sending.

30
00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:15.060
Jim Mansfield: A lot of pushes every day hundreds of millions.

31
00:04:16.530 --> 00:04:25.890
Jim Mansfield: We we sell that traffic on CPC some CPA also working with major partners like to hula.

32
00:04:27.150 --> 00:04:39.060
Jim Mansfield: Buying our traffic, and you know we're international as well me i'm based in Tel Aviv, so the businesses split between Tel Aviv or i'm based in Denver.

33
00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:40.860
Zach Measures: got.

34
00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:42.090
Jim Mansfield: About.

35
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.290
Jim Mansfield: 25 people now.

36
00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:59.040
Zach Measures: And for someone that doesn't understand push just for a very layman's perspective, how does push look to a user and what what sort of very broadly speaking, is the technology so behind it.

37
00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:04.170
Jim Mansfield: So push is something embedded in the browser.

38
00:05:06.150 --> 00:05:08.370
Jim Mansfield: mainly with chrome, but when you.

39
00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:20.250
Jim Mansfield: When you have a website, you can put a piece of code in the service worker, which allows you to generate a prompt, which is generated through chrome.

40
00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:37.320
Jim Mansfield: bass, the user, if they want to receive notifications from that website and if they it says allow or deny i'm sure everyone has seen that a million times, but if you click allow then that saves a unique key which allows which is stored.

41
00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:42.870
Jim Mansfield: On our platform on another platform that allows you to send push notifications but.

42
00:05:43.710 --> 00:05:59.550
Jim Mansfield: That key allows you to connect with that user, so you don't have any personal information about that user, but you have a unique key which you connect to Google servers and do that you can you connect to the users browser and the message is generated.

43
00:06:01.380 --> 00:06:02.190
Zach Measures: And that you need.

44
00:06:02.820 --> 00:06:18.210
Zach Measures: So, to try and that unique key, how do you use that then for understanding what that anonymous user has clicked on in the past and to tailor the promotions that you show to that potential user.

45
00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:28.560
Jim Mansfield: yeah so when when the user signs up, we can generate a profile that user and it's it's unique to that particular browser so.

46
00:06:29.430 --> 00:06:38.580
Jim Mansfield: We don't necessarily enable the link if you if you subscribe to a website on your desktop and on your phone that doesn't necessarily link as those are different browsers.

47
00:06:39.390 --> 00:06:57.120
Jim Mansfield: But yes, we can track the history of those users and what they're doing, and in some cases, if it's coming through a registration flow, we understand some more information about them because they've opted in for push but they've also provided demographic information about location.

48
00:06:58.710 --> 00:07:00.180
Jim Mansfield: You know income.

49
00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:10.770
Jim Mansfield: You know, marital status, the date of birth, all that you were clicking on information as well, so sometimes you're able to target them more in depth, based on.

50
00:07:11.820 --> 00:07:15.990
Jim Mansfield: Other information to provide but doesn't doesn't come from the push but it comes through the registration flow.

51
00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:31.230
Zach Measures: got it and for publishers obviously this is a source of revenue right you're you're helping provide them with presumably curated demand which they can then get higher ecpm or higher he PCs and things like that.

52
00:07:32.070 --> 00:07:42.510
Zach Measures: Are there other benefits for for publishers presumably scale is one big thing right the ability to to deal with a lot through scale or.

53
00:07:43.170 --> 00:07:54.090
Jim Mansfield: yeah one of the main benefits are was it's a way to reach your users after they've left their websites, so if you're an advertiser advertising.

54
00:07:54.660 --> 00:08:04.920
Jim Mansfield: auto insurance for example you're you're buying media to come to your website, maybe you're converting 510 percent of those users.

55
00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:23.880
Jim Mansfield: You know, maybe less it depends, but you know, for at least on chrome based browsers for every user that comes to your website, you have the ability to opt into a push notification and typically about 15% of people will opt into that and so and every time you opt in a user.

56
00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:40.470
Jim Mansfield: You can bring them back to their website, but also the monetization can be worth you know at least 20 cents sometimes more depends on the kind of traffic that's coming to the website, but you get additional value for the media spend that you're doing and it's just.

57
00:08:41.670 --> 00:08:57.120
Jim Mansfield: it's like when you click you know people in industry collect emails and they and phone numbers and they're monetizing through email and SMS it's another just another component that goes along with the monetization after the fact, when people visit your landing pages.

58
00:08:58.770 --> 00:09:07.260
Zach Measures: got it and the advertisers that are working with you are they advertising on a CPC basis or CPA or How does that look.

59
00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:13.050
Jim Mansfield: it's both so this our system optimize it based on.

60
00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:21.900
Jim Mansfield: You know CPC or as we determine uses rpc revenue per click and also the RPS.

61
00:09:23.190 --> 00:09:32.250
Jim Mansfield: But we're accepting advertisers on CPC and when they have long history is, are we understand the performance also CPA.

62
00:09:33.630 --> 00:09:34.860
Jim Mansfield: You know we're very.

63
00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:47.040
Jim Mansfield: Very performance based, and you know with push like definitely email, you know push you're able to make real time decisions, so you can send a million pushes.

64
00:09:47.910 --> 00:10:04.200
Jim Mansfield: But the push doesn't you know you have to you know send it with the creative writing using it with email and push you send you send the message and when they view the message you're able to make a real time decision so it's like it's like email but it's also a little bit like.

65
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:06.240
Jim Mansfield: gateway or native because.

66
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:24.420
Jim Mansfield: At the time, and location, when the user views the Ad is when you can make a decision and allows for a lot more variability that it doesn't email or say SMS because you can send a wide variety of ads and targeting people based on where they're at or.

67
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.330
Jim Mansfield: You know what's working well at the time.

68
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:34.200
Zach Measures: yeah and you mentioned that you did a lot with sort of like lead gen sort of businesses, obviously, like.

69
00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:42.480
Zach Measures: Evan flow, you know have about 100 odd clients and one thing I always say is it's kind of interesting to see the differences between.

70
00:10:43.020 --> 00:10:56.040
Zach Measures: East and West, you know you see sort of like Eastern countries, you know getting into sort of crypto platforms and things like this, where that the population has savings that they need to to push into.

71
00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:03.270
Zach Measures: Various vehicles to either make their money safe or whatever, and in the West, there seems to be an awful lot of.

72
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:13.950
Zach Measures: Debt consolidation finance related products and things like that what, what are the main sort of verticals that you're dealing with on the lead gen side and do they vary by GEO.

73
00:11:17.250 --> 00:11:22.170
Jim Mansfield: yeah they do vary by GEO I think if you look at the US or UK.

74
00:11:23.250 --> 00:11:26.130
Jim Mansfield: us a lot of financial products just I think the.

75
00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:31.800
Jim Mansfield: The value of the customers are so high that they can dominate the the Ad spend so.

76
00:11:33.090 --> 00:11:39.990
Jim Mansfield: You know, insurance products investment products credit cards loans.

77
00:11:41.130 --> 00:11:42.540
Jim Mansfield: mortgages have been.

78
00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:49.170
Jim Mansfield: very, very popular we came through coven and during coven.

79
00:11:50.190 --> 00:11:57.390
Jim Mansfield: destroyed on like jobs or employment or was it the category still is not not as strong as it was, but.

80
00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:04.860
Jim Mansfield: Those are the things that have been working really well also sweepstakes.

81
00:12:06.450 --> 00:12:10.680
Jim Mansfield: You know, with push your your usually dealing with a.

82
00:12:11.910 --> 00:12:24.780
Jim Mansfield: that's a lower intent user you get like that creative with a small you get a small thumbnail image and it up call it six or seven words to to entice the user to click so.

83
00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:28.500
Jim Mansfield: You get a lot of low intent clicks and.

84
00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:32.100
Jim Mansfield: They tend to tend to work well or ones that are like.

85
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:43.020
Jim Mansfield: A general sweepstakes or even even things that are financial but they had their their back strong sort of registration flows or an advertorial or.

86
00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:50.370
Jim Mansfield: Like so that's the users to go to like some sort of pre sell page to fully explain the products to people.

87
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:55.590
Zach Measures: yeah so, as you said, I mean there's a lot of similarities to native there right.

88
00:12:55.650 --> 00:13:01.710
Zach Measures: of converting that intent from sort of something peaking someone's interest into intent.

89
00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:15.630
Zach Measures: And then into those flows, as I understand it, you are basically providing the top of that funnel right, and then you take them to advertisers landing pages that then control those flows is that is that right.

90
00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:17.040
Jim Mansfield: that's right.

91
00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:18.150
Zach Measures: So we.

92
00:13:19.380 --> 00:13:27.630
Jim Mansfield: We also own sites or cells, we have our own websites where we're we're collecting people through our own funnels and we're putting advertisers.

93
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:37.740
Jim Mansfield: And those funnels mainly because, like I said we we have a lot of now there's intent when they click but lower intent and sometimes the monetization is better to.

94
00:13:38.400 --> 00:13:47.070
Jim Mansfield: lead them through a questionnaire or something to sort of understand what they might be interested in, so you can better target the ads if they're interested in a.

95
00:13:48.540 --> 00:14:02.220
Jim Mansfield: Some sort of loan, or they you know, maybe they just click as they need money you can find out of the you know the interest for for a small personal loan they interested in a mortgage and the interested in home home rifai.

96
00:14:03.330 --> 00:14:06.690
Jim Mansfield: there's a things you can find out from a survey after like someone clicks on.

97
00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:19.620
Jim Mansfield: An ad with you know, five or six words are sort of mentioned a financial product and they can get some get some cash but it's good to sort of question what's the best product for them after the fact.

98
00:14:20.400 --> 00:14:27.270
Zach Measures: got it and so when they come into a site that you own these owned and operated properties, then, do you put them out on like a ping tree to.

99
00:14:27.570 --> 00:14:40.260
Zach Measures: A series of appetizers or How does that work actually taking that user out to another advertiser or is that or are those owned and operated properties kind of like more of an enrichment sort of environment.

100
00:14:42.690 --> 00:14:56.190
Jim Mansfield: it's both so we're providing some information we're also trying to optimize into you know, based on what they the information and provide us then we try to show them a series of ads that sort of fit them so we're.

101
00:14:57.210 --> 00:15:00.060
Jim Mansfield: we're trying to get the funnels kind of narrow because we're.

102
00:15:02.910 --> 00:15:08.850
Jim Mansfield: Because like you know people clicked on a push they're not usually, when I dedicate too much time, so I just want to find out.

103
00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:29.700
Jim Mansfield: You know, for example, if they're interested in getting some money do they want, are they more suited for like a quick loan for $1,000 or more suited for you know, a home read to they own a home, maybe a home refinance rifai maybe looking to buy a property so it's a mortgage lead.

104
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:45.150
Zach Measures: got it got it and you mentioned like you know UK and US being sort of led by the finance sector you're so well internationally right, are there any other sort of growing trends that you see internationally.

105
00:15:47.310 --> 00:15:49.740
Jim Mansfield: yeah we're pretty active in Europe, we have.

106
00:15:51.450 --> 00:16:00.420
Jim Mansfield: Like again our team is here, and perhaps the employees are until a vpn person and the Netherlands and.

107
00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:11.400
Jim Mansfield: We find them like the French market, the German market UK very strong and the values of the users are really high and.

108
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:25.560
Jim Mansfield: I think there's less publishers, they are there that have caught on to push so yeah we're we're growing quick quickly there there's there's more people in the states that are they understand push a lot better.

109
00:16:26.670 --> 00:16:38.640
Jim Mansfield: But we're we're speaking to many you know advertisers and in Europe and showing them how they can make more money you know kind of like the way to beulah did you know years ago.

110
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:54.960
Jim Mansfield: You know they've they've got traffic as they're buying media to there any pages, and this is similar products, and you know and in Europe and might be, you know test drives or there's some financial products there's mobile our next.

111
00:16:56.580 --> 00:17:10.890
Jim Mansfield: Practice a little bit different, but you know there's a lot of people by media for their ads and push is just another way to get additional monetization and reach to the users that you're already spending money to to get to.

112
00:17:12.750 --> 00:17:17.040
Zach Measures: yeah got it and you guys having known you guys for a while and.

113
00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:23.580
Zach Measures: I know you've got like a kind of deep sort of technical pool of people there at notify.

114
00:17:24.090 --> 00:17:37.350
Zach Measures: Is everything you use sort of internal I mean there's some complicated stuff going on there right with kind of real time bidding and things like that is that all internal that you've built to use other sort of.

115
00:17:38.910 --> 00:17:42.060
Zach Measures: You know other external things within your tech stack.

116
00:17:44.040 --> 00:17:54.120
Jim Mansfield: We uh yeah so most of our technology that we're sending push and the monetization that's kind of like you know our bread and butter so we're we have our own technology for that.

117
00:17:55.560 --> 00:18:03.780
Jim Mansfield: You know, like we we use ever flow because everyone's good at tracking because because, because we have our own websites and.

118
00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:15.840
Jim Mansfield: we're buying from affiliates and partners and it's a good platform for managing that activity, and I think we sort of we want to focus on what we're good at, and not.

119
00:18:16.800 --> 00:18:33.900
Jim Mansfield: You know, trying to to build ever flow into our platforms that that that that's not really our focus then you can use a platform like ever flow to do those simple things why focus on your main technology, because we put a lot of work into.

120
00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:37.320
Jim Mansfield: Improving monetization and.

121
00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:42.750
Jim Mansfield: optimizing users and that takes a lot of the engineering time that we have.

122
00:18:43.830 --> 00:18:48.390
Zach Measures: yeah do you use any other sort of third party tools that are useful.

123
00:18:51.690 --> 00:18:56.400
Jim Mansfield: not really that those are what's core to our to our business and.

124
00:18:57.870 --> 00:19:01.110
Jim Mansfield: You know, we there's a couple we're looking at to help.

125
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.110
Jim Mansfield: manage our registration clothes.

126
00:19:05.370 --> 00:19:11.760
Jim Mansfield: We haven't decided on one because again it's the place where we're putting them all out of engineering time into.

127
00:19:13.230 --> 00:19:23.460
Jim Mansfield: Managing questionnaires and and courage at ads and things like that, and you know we're looking for ways to use third party.

128
00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:25.050
Jim Mansfield: applications to do that.

129
00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:36.570
Zach Measures: yeah cool there's one one trend that we see a lot of and obviously we're a software business ourselves right but I mean we don't try and build like hubspot right we just use the CRM.

130
00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:47.730
Zach Measures: Because of that, and a lot of people having this kind of more modular approach to using different third party providers to kind of like augment what they're doing.

131
00:19:48.660 --> 00:20:06.270
Zach Measures: As their core business right because you can just use and drop third party software providers, you know, like a like a balloon on you know sort of on up if you're going up in that house on Disney you know the balloons are just ways of getting you.

132
00:20:06.270 --> 00:20:11.850
Zach Measures: Somewhere right and those software's can be snapped off as as needed and then so.

133
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:28.710
Zach Measures: From from your side, then like what what what's like what do you see like the the future of like push and lead gen sort of in the next six months or so what, what are the big things that you're focused on or excited about in terms of like the market developing and so on.

134
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:34.440
Jim Mansfield: I think the market is is quite strong right now I think there's.

135
00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:46.380
Jim Mansfield: yeah there's issues with the economy and the markets that could affect like the different types of leads we're collecting like I said, like mortgages and.

136
00:20:47.190 --> 00:21:05.580
Jim Mansfield: refined and very strong but, again, interest rates are rising, I think that could affect the viability of some of those leads, or at least effect how how well it converts because right now converts really well, but the last people want a more goodness, because the rates are too high, then.

137
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:13.950
Jim Mansfield: The effective CPA is and our PCs are going to go down to the probably less than the next, but I think other things will.

138
00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:25.530
Jim Mansfield: will come back and focus, because I had been been in 10 minutes or 20 years the the type of ads they rotate there's different things that are popular.

139
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:31.560
Jim Mansfield: You know one cycle to the next, and you know lately it's been all these.

140
00:21:32.610 --> 00:21:35.310
Jim Mansfield: Insurance medicare loans.

141
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.090
Jim Mansfield: I think that'll change slightly.

142
00:21:40.590 --> 00:21:49.950
Jim Mansfield: The kind of see some of those categories overheating right now performances is a little bit down, but I think other things will will step in.

143
00:21:51.060 --> 00:22:01.260
Jim Mansfield: As in you know when it comes to buying traffic there's always a new, better so and it figures out a new angle to acquire the traffic, then.

144
00:22:02.760 --> 00:22:04.620
Jim Mansfield: You know, because we're traffic provider.

145
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:09.270
Jim Mansfield: Who will just benefit from that once they figure those angles out.

146
00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:10.770
Zach Measures: yeah.

147
00:22:12.330 --> 00:22:17.190
Zach Measures: And for like your clients that you know they can obviously.

148
00:22:18.510 --> 00:22:33.540
Zach Measures: use you as a as a You know, as you said, a traffic provider, we just felt like maybe just touch on the publisher side of you know, being able to monetize a little bit more fit for an advertiser that works with you what what's the real benefits for them.

149
00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:44.070
Jim Mansfield: Well, I think if if you're if you're buying from affiliates or different traffic sources with different about us is we're a unique traffic source.

150
00:22:45.630 --> 00:22:48.210
Jim Mansfield: You might be buying Facebook or Google.

151
00:22:49.410 --> 00:22:55.230
Jim Mansfield: email pushes is a separate category and it performs differently and.

152
00:22:56.940 --> 00:23:02.310
Jim Mansfield: One thing about reselling our own traffic so it's a traffic that's produced within our own network.

153
00:23:04.260 --> 00:23:08.460
Jim Mansfield: there's not there's there's not a chance that we're going to.

154
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.100
Jim Mansfield: Put you in a network where.

155
00:23:12.330 --> 00:23:18.360
Jim Mansfield: You know there's a rogue affiliate or is it there's a different traffic blend that affect the quality of what you get.

156
00:23:19.890 --> 00:23:26.670
Jim Mansfield: And then give you learn to understand push and what what the bid on it and and how it works to your.

157
00:23:28.800 --> 00:23:31.020
Jim Mansfield: to your offer or to your ad and.

158
00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:39.150
Jim Mansfield: that'll hold true, and you can bid and when the traffic, you know, for as much as we can sell.

159
00:23:41.370 --> 00:23:49.020
Jim Mansfield: And it, but it does work differently, like it's some people test it out and they they compare it to maybe an email campaign and.

160
00:23:50.310 --> 00:23:54.390
Jim Mansfield: They don't like the conversions as much but it's just a different price point because an email.

161
00:23:55.500 --> 00:24:11.070
Jim Mansfield: This potentially like a much longer it had to be reviewed, like if you're selling auto insurance they might see a picture of a car, and maybe some examples of savings, but for us, you know we're gonna get we're gonna have like five or six words to you know.

162
00:24:13.470 --> 00:24:27.720
Jim Mansfield: save on insurance than Texas so it'll be just a few words and we're just trying to get a quick, so the the presale pages and whatever will be the user into the experience will matter much more coming from push.

163
00:24:28.770 --> 00:24:41.280
Jim Mansfield: And that's why it is, it is more data because you'll see a lot of the ads and our platform dive into some sort of pre sell page or longer content piece that gets a user into.

164
00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:44.430
Jim Mansfield: Whatever the advertisers trying to sell.

165
00:24:48.030 --> 00:24:56.250
Zach Measures: cool and and what What would you say you know, in terms of sort of having two offices and and kind of you know.

166
00:24:57.660 --> 00:25:07.920
Zach Measures: Bridging that that that sort of gap like what would you say just just generally, for you know people running international businesses you've run a few in the past have you.

167
00:25:08.340 --> 00:25:11.010
Zach Measures: Have you got any advice on.

168
00:25:12.510 --> 00:25:21.270
Zach Measures: Any one that we've covered small or large are finding that they're hiring people in different places remote staff trying to manage and international business.

169
00:25:21.570 --> 00:25:36.930
Zach Measures: you've kind of been there, I got the T shirt on that a couple of times so do you have any kind of you know, top tips or general advice about managing a business that focuses internationally and maybe has a remote staff component.

170
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:47.490
Jim Mansfield: yeah so it's it's always difficult it's difficult getting people to communicate well from different time zones in different cultures.

171
00:25:49.650 --> 00:25:56.610
Jim Mansfield: and different this business we've kept the team smaller you know the previous company for.

172
00:25:57.630 --> 00:25:59.820
Jim Mansfield: A similar revenue profile, we had.

173
00:26:01.110 --> 00:26:06.840
Jim Mansfield: You know, double the employees and I think it was much harder to to manage.

174
00:26:08.970 --> 00:26:12.270
Jim Mansfield: yeah with coded you know we don't even work from home.

175
00:26:14.250 --> 00:26:24.660
Jim Mansfield: You know, we we've kind of we kind of have two different environments, like the Denver team has been slightly more remote, most of the time, like we didn't have an office in Denver for.

176
00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:30.360
Jim Mansfield: Most of the time during covidien they've had I think they've been in office for a year now.

177
00:26:31.620 --> 00:26:39.210
Jim Mansfield: Here we've had more of a physical presence more junior employees and then we've had in.

178
00:26:40.590 --> 00:26:52.320
Jim Mansfield: Denver, but so it's a good mix here look here we've been able to train people and teach them in Denver we've hired mostly people from our network or people with experience.

179
00:26:54.150 --> 00:27:05.130
Jim Mansfield: But I mean we have a daily meetings of the whole team is on yeah nothing long a 30 minute call you know, five days a week to catch up.

180
00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:13.650
Jim Mansfield: So everyone has like some connection between the different offices and there's a bit of a handover because the we're here.

181
00:27:15.180 --> 00:27:16.050
Jim Mansfield: You know from.

182
00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:28.650
