LEAD

Ryan Matonis is Founder &amp; CEO of Lead Engines, an automated lead sourcing platform. In this episode, we talk about his background, turning a consulting gig into a SaaS platform, bootstrapping Lead Engines, learning how to hire and fire, and what really matters when building a software company. Ryan also asks about my biggest mistakes so far.Bootstrapping a software company is difficult. It can take longer than you think, and there are days when you wonder what you got yourself in. Ryan is particularly impressive as he was able to build the product and drive sales – two skills that usually don't go hand in hand. If you want to know what it's really like, listen to this episode and take notes. Hopefully you can avoid the mistakes that we have both made.GUEST Ryan Matonis LinkedIn Lead Engines Website API Exchange Website PODCAST Safa Mahzari Patreon Alluxo Website TERMS MVP = minimum viable product R&amp;D = research and development S&amp;M = sales and marketing G&amp;A = general and administrative ROAS = return on ad spend B2B = business to business B2C = business to consumer Perpetual license = one-time payment for a lifetime software license  CRM = customer relationship management SaaS = software as a service API = application programming interface SDR = sales development representative AE = account executive Payback Period = time to recoup sales and marketing costs from a paying customer TAM = total addressable market TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Episode intro 0:50 - The importance of sales and marketing 6:36 - Making a pitch deck that works 13:15 - How did you start Lead Engines? 23:48 - Being a solo founder 33:19 - What was the most difficult skill to learn? 42:46 - What is API Exchange? 53:38 - What would change if you start all over again? 1:02:15 - Wrap up and final thoughts
