If you're like me and dislike obscure SaaS pricing pages, the price intelligence chrome extension from @tryramp is a game changer 🤯 ◆ No more booking demos just to get a quote ◆ More data for price negotiations ◆ Know what "enterprise" pricing means

Especially in lean times, companies will chase profitable advertising spend wherever it exists – Facebook and Google Ad spend is down in Q3 compared to Q2.

5. Facebook vs. Google 🔍 Facebook Ad spend cut by 22.6% between Q2 & Q3 of this year, while Google only dropped by 7.6%. Could speak to the relative performance of each platform – performance marketers typically cut their least efficient spend first. 📉

Return to the office is happening MUCH faster than people realize. How much faster? Look at the exponential chart (it's office catering spend on places like @DoorDash @ZeroCater @ezCater and more). More anonymized @tryramp spend patterns on the blog

Incumbent corporate cards are guided by incentives that are misaligned with their customers' best interest. Dominant financial institutions want customers to spend more, while businesses set goals around spending less and eliminating waste. (1/5)

People often ask me about @tryramp ’s velocity, e.g. how we went from incorporation to first swipe in <60 days. Many factors contribute to our speed, but recently I went back in time with @loganbartlett & @emily__man to dissect how modern fintech came about

5. Dashboarding and data analysis needs to be a core competency of leaders. The playing field evolves so rapidly that it is impossible to steer the ship without a working compass. Qualitative hunches are often wrong. Follow the data.

Nice as it is to sit in a free airport lounge once every six months, businesses should expect a hell of a lot more from their credit card. @tryramp actually measures and shares how much less we help businesses spend. $135M in waste prevented and counting!

I can't make a play on its growth of valuation, but @ramp @eglyman are about to take a lot of market share during this downturn. The counter-positioning of a corporate card that encourages less spending will be very useful to all CFO's that just got their belt tightened 5 loops

9. Send updates to investors and customers regularly. They put trust in you, empower them with information. Take time to help others feel connected and many may try to help you succeed. A group empowered with context, real asks and consistency can snowball. Here’s an example.
