![]() This type of event, where the producers collectively decide what the consumers want, and only produce it, and miss the mark by a mile, definetely exist (these are just things I’m irrated by recently), though I assume incompetence and babdwaggoning over any kind of real thinking going into this. ![]() In games, complex 3D graphics (this is very slowly changing, as indie devs begin to realize games existed between 19) ![]() Mercedes, priuses, bmws, etc are all horrendous. Presumably tesla’s is decent (never tried), but otherwise the only interface I’ve encountered yet that met the minimum requirement of a sensible response time (let alone everything else) is a luxury jeep. In cars theres the same issue with GPS systems: even luxury cars have awful interfaces. Today, every tv is a Smart TV, and yet again, I haven’t found anyone who thought they weren’t awful Netflix's model of creating content to justify their subscription is going to stop working eventually, content is a "long tail" type problem and their strategy of self-funding content is going to be increasingly unworkable within a few years.įor about 5 years, any tv you found in an electronic store was 3D, and I have yet to find a single person who claims to like them. Cable TV to date has been much more successful in evolving and preventing disruption in those ancillary lines (pay per view etc) and has maintained a subscription model.Īs an aside - everyone thinks Netflix is so wise with their current subscription strategy, I am a paying streaming customer myself, but the number of times of late that Netflix does not have the movie I actually want to watch, but Amazon's pay-per-view model does, makes me realize there are limits to the subscription approach as well. Subscriptions alone obviously were not able to save newspapers from crushing deflation in their ancillary revenue models of classified ads, which they lost to craigslist and others. Newspapers, telephones and cable TV have long been subscription based. (But you can still get a lot done with non subscription versions of Word 2003 etc). ![]() I see the current trend in subscriptions as largely a revolution in pure technology service businesses, where subscriptions are a rational way to pay for them (dropbox, github), along with software producers and their customers maturing to the point that they can mutually acknowledge the need for up-to-date and evolving core capabilities, such as Windows and Office, which can reasonably be seen to require recurring support which has value. I think this piece and the pitch it references are borderline abuse of the history and context of subscription businesses.

Here’s a full recording below of the presentation we gave at OpenView’s Go-to-Market Forum (that’s where Andy saw this for the first time):īelow are the slides from the presentation. So we figured we would do what we do with all of our content here at Drift and give it away for free. Since then, this article has been shared nearly 4,000 times, and as a result, we’ve received hundreds of emails and Drift messages from people asking for the sales pitch deck. “The Greatest Sales Pitch I’ve Seen All Year” - first saw do it - here’s why it’s brilliant /q1aiwqXoAJĪndy wrote a new article - “ The Greatest Sales Pitch I’ve Seen All Year” - and this time it was about what we are doing at Drift. We’re big fans of his work and asked him to speak at HYPERGROWTH this year. He wrote that article last year “ The Greatest Sales Deck I’ve Ever Seen” that went viral. We had just landed in Toronto and I was scrambling to get through customs, find our ride from the airport, and catch-up on Slack messages when I got this email: ![]()
