One of the most important things when running your business is understanding how your customers feel about your service.
We all know that it is tough to gather all the feedback you would like. You are more likely to talk to customers in your support channels when they experience an issue, but that does not always give you a holistic understanding of their experience with your product.
While it might seem new and intimidating, machine learning in business is already bringing massive benefits to companies and consumers alike.
From increasingly effective product suggestions to accurate journey time predictions and advanced customer analytics, machine learning is an incredibly powerful tool which lets you analyze every important aspect of your business without wasting human hours on the task.
But what exactly is machine learning, and how do you go from knowing that to actually using it?
“Instead of using labels to teach an AI what each object it’s looking at is, this DeepMind project teaches itself because it learns to recognise images and sounds by matching them up with what it can see and hear.
This method of learning is almost exactly like how humans think and learn to understand the world around them.” – Vaughn Highfield, How Google DeepMind is learning like a child: DeepMind uses videos to teach itself about the world

Where did The E Myth Summary come from? Michael E. Gerber is the answer.
And when Michael E. Gerber gives you advice for starting a business you listen to it.
With a career spanning over 40 years and working with hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide, Gerber’s expertise is invaluable to anyone looking to start their own venture. Lucky for us, he’s written several books on the topic, the most famous of which I’ll be summarizing in this post.
This E Myth summary will take the core business tips from Gerber’s work and condense them into a single post. It’s all of the value, proven with examples from companies like Facebook and Zenefits, and it doesn’t need you to spend 40 years to learn it.
In particular, I’ll be covering:
Let’s get started.
I recently hit the limit on my 100GB Dropbox account and after a bit of research decided to make the move from Dropbox to Google Drive. In this post, I’ll explain why I did it and some cool unexpected benefits that came from the move and give you a rundown of Dropbox vs Google Drive.
Dropbox and Google Drive are file storage services that sync files between a folder on your device(s) and the cloud. Making it easy to backup and access your files from anywhere.
Up until a few weeks ago I was paying for premium plans for both Google Drive and Dropbox.
Keeping everyone on the same page in your business is easy with today’s technology. Using cloud-based calendars, you can have everyone synced up all the time from any device. In this post, I will go through our favorite setups to ensure your team never misses a meeting again.
The early days of a startup are crazy.
You have a small group of brilliant and adventurous people taking on tasks they’ve probably never done. Tight budgets leave you doing things like building desks out of doors because they’re cheaper. Your whole focus is solely directed at the goal of getting your product out there in front of customers, who probably don’t even realize how much they need your product yet.
Fast forward a couple of years and those brilliant and adventurous people now have job titles and (more or less) set job descriptions. Your engineers are spending most of their time finessing the UI and developing new features rather than building fundamental structures and foundations. You have a solid customer base that’s avid about your product – and just keeps growing.
Except – as brilliant as they are – that small group of people no longer has enough hands to do everything that needs to be done.
It’s time to scale your startup – but you need to do it fast, accurately, and strategically. So where do you start?
To find out, I sat down with Process Street‘s very own head of talent, Rosy Bellorini, to get an inside view on how to get the talent you need to scale your startup.

This is a guest post by Daniel Ndukwu. Daniel has extensive experience in digital marketing and is the Founder of KyLeads. There he helps business owners and publishers increase their leads and audience engagement with smart popups, interactive quizzes, and surveys.
In 2017, I had a brilliant idea.
Many of the tools for conversion rate optimization are point solutions. They make popups, landing pages, quizzes, surveys. Very few of them – if any – combine those functions into one.
I decided I would tackle the challenge by building a tool (now called KyLeads). It would allow people to create surveys, popups, and quizzes for lead generation and customer research.
After going through two development teams, rebuilding our user interface, and learning first-hand how hard it is to make software, we launched.
There was little fanfare and only a few customers when we started. But my team and I kept going. We knew it would be a long journey to success – and it’s paying off.
This article shares the best practices, tactics, and processes we used (and are still using) to improve our SaaS onboarding and grow our business into something spectacular.

When your average pitch is worth $5,800 per second you can’t afford to get things wrong.
You have an average of 3 minutes and 44 seconds to convince potential investors that your business potential is worth their money.
Oh, and that you know what on Earth you’re doing.
That’s a lot of pressure for any business owner. So, we here at Process Street have taken our own experience pitching to 2,500+ investors, venture capitalists, and business owners to give you the ideal formula for creating a winning pitch deck.
We’ll be covering:
Let’s get started!
Your average pitch gets examined by investors for about 3 minutes 44 seconds and (if successful) is worth around $1.3 million.
That’s more than $5800 per second.
With figures like that, you need to know how to pitch to land investors, customers, employees, prizes or whatever it is you’re aiming for.
That’s where we here at Process Street come in.
We pitched to over 2500 top SaaS professionals and investors at SaaStr Europa 2019, walking away with the grand prize from the pitch competition, the contact details of several venture capitalists, and collaboration opportunities for months to come.
However, I’m getting ahead of myself. In this post I’ll show you;
