VC Secrets: How Savvy Entrepreneurs are Finding Upsides in this Downturn

As part of its Business Expansion Series, JoTo PR Disruptors is offering a FREE webinar masterclass hosted by seasoned VC Josh Frankel, whose venture capital accelerator, LogicBoost Labs, focuses on promoting the growth of early-stage startups.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- JoTo PR is presenting a free webinar masterclass on Thursday, June 8, 2023, 12:00 PM EST, VC Secrets: How Savvy Entrepreneurs are Finding Upsides in this Downturn, that provides an opportunity to learn from successful venture capitalist, Joshua M. Frankel. In the webinar, Josh will go over simple yet important steps that are creating successful entrepreneurs in an upside down economic environment.

Move over decision-makers. The global economic slump has paved the way for a game-changer in the marketplace. CFOs and accountants have emerged as key power players. Marketers will need to captivate this influential audience and prove their Brand makes impeccable financial sense.

"We've become accustomed to marketing following what technology does, but now the message and the method must align with the finance silo in the corporate landscape," says Frankel. "Your buyers must now be armed to meet the rigidity of revenue expectations in addition to selling features for your customers."

The rules of the game now scrutinize budgets and focus on ROI. A once popular but flawed 'growth at all costs' strategy is being replaced by longer-term business health. The new focus is on RETENTION and UPSELL.

Varying from industry to industry, acquiring a new customer can cost five to seven times more than retaining an old one and a 5 percent increase in customer retention can lead to a company's profit growth by 25% to 95% over time. (1)

BUT what about developing new customers? Frankel notes that it's not black and white; startups must consider a customer's lifetime value (CLV) for balance.

Josh will lay out:

• How CFOs and accountants as decision-makers will affect purchases
• Are you selling features? Can you draw a direct line to how that results in more revenue for your customer?
• Which KPIs VCs want to see
• "Can you explain why 'growth at all costs' isn't necessarily viable?"
• How it's easy to create copy but without humanness it flattens what is seen and read

Following the Webinar, there will be a rare AMA session (Ask Me Anything) where Josh will answer any questions about the symbiotic relationship between startups and VCs, and more.
