Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

EP34: Don't Freak Out About Quantitative Results 30:08

1 year yang lalu30:08

30:08

When you're in the early stages of building a business, you need to move quickly. But when you're testing growth channels, there is a difference between moving quickly and freaking out. In this episode of the InDemand podcast, host Asia Orangio, founder of DemandMaven, uncovers the pitfalls that teams can fall into when reacting to quantitative results. She covers the mistakes that founders make when reacting to experiments and how to set yourself up for success when running tests and reacting to the results. TL;DL 0:22 - Don't freak out about bad numbers. Early technical founders have a tendency to overreact to test data from marketing and growth campaigns. But in growth you're working with humans, not code, and you can't always trust immediate results. 4:35 - A one to two week experiment with low spend on a growth channel likely won't show you a clear result. If you react to it you might be missing a big opportunity. 8:00 - A company Asia worked with was testing out a video demo option. After one week and getting two requests for the video the team was resigned to the fact that it wasn't working, but after waiting it turned out that having the video was actually increasing the number of prospects entering the pipeline. 12:45 - You always have to remember that quantitative outputs can tell you 'what', but can't tell you 'why'. Before you react, you have to pause and dig deeper to understand what is driving the numbers. 20:07 - When you're running a test, the sample size matters. You need a large enough volume of results to be able to trust the results. There is a natural variance in the results you get and if you end an experiment early you might just be seeing variance.…

EP33: Top Customer Research Mistakes 39:35

1 year yang lalu39:35

39:35

Customer research is a critical part of growth. However many teams and founders make big mistakes when they do their research. What are the mistakes you need to avoid? In this episode of the InDemand podcast, Asia Orangio, founder of DemandMaven, highlights the most common mistakes in conducting customer research and gives examples of how to avoid them. If you haven’t already, sign up for The Work, a weekly newsletter: https://demandmaven.substack.com/ TL;DL 1:03 - Mistake one, not setting clear goals for research. You'll always have a trigger that makes you decide to do the research, but you should also have a clear goal. For example, "I want to understand who churns and why" 6:03 - Mistake two, not interviewing the right people. When you conduct your research, make sure that it's very clear who the target audiences are going to be and that it aligns with your ultimate goals and hypothesis of the research. 10:58 - Mistake three, over-talking in interviews. Too much talking makes your research subjects want to agree. You might end up with a lot of camaraderie, but you'll probably not get the most valuable information. 14:05 - Mistake four, asking leading questions. Giving a hint of the answers you want to hear makes it more likely you'll hear that answer and not an answer that may surprise you and point to an issue you're not aware of. 21:48 - Mistake five, accepting vague answers. This is the one that founders are most susceptible to. For example, "What I liked about the product was that it was easy to use". An answer like that should be followed up on to find out specifically what they mean. Terms like: it was easier, it was faster, it was better, it was stressful, it was annoying, it was confusing, it was flexible, it was seamless are triggers where you should dig deeper. 33:58 Mistake six, if you don't need to, don't incentivize people for your interviews. In some situations, you will need to have an incentive to get people. But if you're talking to your customers, don't give an incentive. It makes it more likely that you'll get people who don't really want to talk to you and just want the incentive. 34:20 - Mistake seven, not having a feedback process after interviews. After you do your research, it's key to not only have bullet point results for the founders and executives but also a detailed review of the process and learnings for the entire team.…

EP32: What if We're Bad at Product Management? 33:21

1 year yang lalu33:21

33:21

Product management isn’t easy. And the reality is some founders just aren’t that good at it. In this episode, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, discusses the importance of effective product management in growth and why striving for 'quality of life improvements' - small tweaks to existing features - over 'value generators' - hurts growth. If you haven't seen it, check out The Work, a weekly newsletter: https://demandmaven.substack.com/ Timeline: 1:33 - Product management is ultimately the process of determining and prioritizing what features to build, what value to provide and deciding how to actually get that done. It is not order taking. 5:00 - Customers are not good at telling you what to build or why they want you to build something. If you are just approaching product management as taking orders from your customers you will often be led astray. 6:40 - Customers are usually in a solution space, as a great p roduct manager you need to get in the problem space (build a car and not a faster horse). 10:30 - Asking your customers "why?" can lead you to ideas for better solutions to their problems. Instead of just building features based on a customer request, ask "What is it that you're trying to accomplish? What does that help you do?" 13:00 - When you are too focused on the solutions space you build quality of life improvements, but not value generators. 16:00 - If you only make quality of life improvements, customers will eventually leave for another product that has more impactful value generators. 23:30 - If you have a revenue cohort retention rate of 40-70% the reason is likely related to your product and it is a key signal to start thinking about your product management. 26:45 - Recomendations for product management: Reforge, Continous Discovery Habits by Teresa Torres, Escaping The Build Trap by Melissa Perry…

EP30: Qualitative vs. Quantitative 21:42

2 years yang lalu21:42

21:42

Description: As we approach the end of the year, we rely on the information we have to make decisions and plans for future growth. In order to have a full picture, it is critical to have been capturing high-quality qualitative as well as quantitative information. In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down why both types of information are important and examples of how to incorporate qualitative information to understand the ‘why’ behind your numbers. TL;DL Timestamps: 4:50 - Quantitative insights are things like conversion rates, retention rates, daily active users, and most founders tend to be better about collecting these. But they are not super valuable on their own. 5:50 - When you combine qualitative and quantitative insights, you start to see patterns emerge about where gaps and opportunities exist. 6:25 - Qualitative allows you to understand the 'whys' that are driving the quantitative data you're seeing 8:02 - Sometimes your qualitative and quantitative insights are contradictory. This brings up a lot of questions and creates moments when you can learn a lot about how your business is working. Often a contradictory qualitative insight comes up because of who you are talking to. 11:30 - Customer research is just one example of qualitative information. There are things like the stories that filter through your organization, and information that you get from audience members, thought leaders, and marketing leaders in your industry. 13:10 - Customers can't tell you what's not working in your business, but they can tell you about their experience and their needs. 14:05 - It's not about one or the other, to build a business you should prioritize collecting high-quality quantitative and qualitative information. 15:35 - Retrospectives, done by team members at the end of projects, can be a precious qualitative resource to incorporate into your operations. 19:10 - If you're not doing both, then long-term planning is going to be way more difficult than it needs to be. As we close the year it is a great time to make sure you're collecting high-quality information on both sides.…

EP29: Focusing vs. Niching 30:09

2 years yang lalu30:09

30:09

When it comes to building a business there is a big difference between focusing and niching. In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down how you can achieve focus by niching, but why you don't have niche to achieve focus. TL;DL: 2:00 - When we talk about focusing, it is a founder really dedicating for a period of time to a specific part of the market. Niching is going to market saying that you only serve a specific segment. An example of a niched product is a CRM that is for trucking companies. An example of focus could be a CRM for small businesses that is investing over 12 months in focusing on marketing agencies and then the next 12 months focused on design firms. 5:00 - If you're focusing, you probably wouldn't turn away a customer that is outside of your focus. If you're in niche, you would turn away a customer that is outside of the niche. 9:10 - Focusing is not necessarily a forever thing, but it is important as you think about go to market. Start by thinking about who your raving fans are and who will get the most value out of the product. That is how you identify who to focus on first. 11:00- Hubspot is a great example of a company that focused, but did not niche. 12:30 - When you are niching, what's important is targeting a niche that has enough market turnover to create opportunity over the long-term. Then it is critical to have a plan for identifying when to expand or pivot out of that niche. 20:00 - When you are niching, you want to make sure that you are focusing on long-term macro trends and not short-term micro trends. For example, Blockbuster was niched, but missed the macro trend towards streaming. 24:00 - As a recap, focusing is a temporary effort focused on specific segments. For example a small business CRM where you are focusing your product and marketing efforts for 6 months on marketing agencies. Niching is a defining your product as being for a specific segment. For example defining your product as the CRM for marketing agencies and turning away other customers.…

What are the best areas to focus on when you’re trying to drive growth in your company? In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the top five growth drivers for SaaS businesses. Growing Awareness Growing Traffic Capturing More Leads Increasing Sales Increasing Business Capacity TL;DL 1:00 - What are the top 5 growth drivers? 1:55 - Growing awareness simply means more people knowing about your brand. This is tough to measure, but usually you can look at behaviors like testimonials or referrals. 4:15 - Growing traffic to your website is huge and easy to track, but it is very competitive in 2023 using traditional channels to grow traffic. 5:20 - Capturing more leads means increasing the number of leads, but also increasing your conversion rate, so that you are getting a bigger percentage out of all your traffic converting. 7:05 - Increasing sales. This is about improving the conversion rate, but also accelerating the sales cycle and increasing profitability. 9:45 - Increasing business capacity is where you are making hires and removing bottlenecks from your business that are slowing growth. Most of the time, growth is a function of how well your team is functioning. 17:30 - In early stage companies, you will often find it most valuable to focus on growing traffic, capturing more leads, and increasing sales. In more mature companies, all 5 are important to focus on. 19:00 - If you think through these five growth factors as it relates to your business, what are the top 2 most important for your business? And then within those 2 what are the 3–5 projects that you can do to make an impact on those growth factors? Check out Katelyn Bourgoin on twitter at https://twitter.com/KateBour…

EP27: Growth During an Economic Downturn 24:04

2 years yang lalu24:04

24:04

In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the strategies successful companies have used to survive and grow through downturns and how to apply it to your business. TL;DL: 1:00 - A lot of companies simply over-hired during the past couple years of growth and the layoffs now are correcting for that as opposed to a greater market downturn. 5:30 - In a true economic downturn, layoffs and cuts might not be your best strategy for future survival. 6:45 - There are lots of different levers that can lead to growth. Increasing leads and traffic, increasing in sales, increasing retained customers, increasing in upsells or cross sales, and increasing revenue by optimizing pricing. 8:05 - In an economic downturn the first step to take is to get default alive, meaning that you get to a position of not needing future investment to continue operating. 9:34 - The second step is checking for gaps. That means looking at your business from a product, market, model, and channel perspective. In an economic downturn big changes are happening in the market and that likely means your business needs to change. 13:15 - Step number three is refocusing on growth. The companies that succeed during a downturn are companies that tighten their belts, focus on leadership, and then refocus on growth before the market at large. 17:00 - If you're experiencing slowness with growth right now, there are likely root causes beyond just the economic downturn. You should be looking at and focusing on your highest LTV customers and identifying opportunities that create higher LTV long-term.…

EP26: The SaaS Black Hole 30:24

2 years yang lalu30:24

30:24

Are you building a SaaS product but have not yet got your first paying customers? You might be in or about to go into the SaaS Black Hole. In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the SaaS black hole and covers how to think about pivoting, building your team, and bringing in outside help when you’re in this phase of building your company. TL;DR: 3:40 - The SaaS black hole is the time when you are going from having trial users to charging for your product and working on getting your first 10 paying customers. 8:30 - The black hole phase looks different for every company. Sometimes, in rare cases, you nail the product and people want to sign up and pay right away. More often a few people convert, but there is real hesitation about paying and the value of the product. Depending on what happens in the black hole, you might need to go all the way back to customer discovery and really make sure you understand your audience and problem. 14:20 - The black hole can lead you to decide you need to totally pivot your product, to change focus to a new audience, or to realize that there is a problem or audience you didn't plan for, but that loves your product. 17:30 - It is very difficult to build a team while you're in the black hole because you don't know the answers to a lot of fundamental questions about your business. 20:45 - Most bootstrap founders don't plan big launches and instead choose to just go live. You don't need to feel like something big needs to happen when you start asking for your users to pay for the product. 24:30 - It makes sense to have a small team in this phase because you want to be able to make decisions quickly and take fast action when you need to pivot. When you have someone in marketing at this stage, they are going to have whiplash and struggle with the change of direction. 26:30 - From a growth consulting perspective, it makes sense to work with a company in the planning and preparation phase, pre-black hole or once a company is out of the black hole and has their first 10 paying customers.…

EP25: Top 5 Areas for Growth 22:28

2 years yang lalu22:28

22:28

Are you investing in marketing, but not seeing the growth you were aiming for? It might be because you’re overlooking another key growth area. In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the top five areas to look at first when it comes to growth. You’ll learn why marketing might not be the best lever to pull in your business right now and how focusing on operations, retention, and activation can drive your growth. TL;DR 0:45 - Putting more dollars into marketing won't be the best growth investment if you haven't taken care of the core areas of the business yet. 1:50 - Area #1 is the activation and onboarding part of the customer experience. The benchmarks to look at depending on your model are below and if you're not reaching these benchmarks it's likely there is a lot of space for you to improve activation. Demo to paying customer, aim for 30% Free trial to paying customer, aim for 30 to 50% Freemium free account to paying customer, aim for 2 to 3% 7:45 - Area # 2 is retention. If you don't have any or don't have an efficient process for retaining customers who would otherwise churn it is likely a big opportunity for growth. 11:02 - Area # 3 is expansion. Upselling or cross-selling into existing plans you have or creating add ons. To do expansion well you need to have a strong product innovation process and good customer marketing to sell the value of expanded plans or add ons. 13:40 - Area # 4 is looking at your L.T.V./Average Revenue per User. If these aren't increasing over time it points to an issue with customer retention or a lack of expansion revenue. LTV will also vary between markets and you might be able to target a higher LTV market. 16:35 - Area # 5 is operations. If you are stuck on growth, but don't have good systems and processes in place for operations, then plans and strategies for marketing aren't going to create results. If you recognize this as an issue in your business it likely makes sense to invest in operations first by making a hire or improving processes.…

EP24: Painkiller vs. Vitamin 20:14

2 years yang lalu20:14

Are you building a painkiller or a vitamin? In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the two categories of products and how you can use the concept in marketing your SAAS business. You’ll learn why most successful SAAS businesses are pain killers, examples of both types of business, and how your messaging and positioning should adapt to the product your building. TL;DR 0:48 - Breking down the concept of painkiller vs. vitamin as it applies to your product. 1:51 - What is a painkiller solution? It is a product that is solving a very specific problem directly. For example, Loom is a painkiller product for giving feedback and training to your team. A good test is if your product is relieving frustration or annoyance for your customers. 3:37- What is a vitamin solution? It is a product that fulfills a desire and aims for a better version of your customers organization. 4:45 - When it comes to building a SAAS business, you almost always want to focus on building a painkiller, solving a direct pain point for your customers. 7:08 - Why you can think of Zoom and Notion as examples of painkiller SAAS products. Zoom solved the pain point of friction and reliability with other video conferencing tools. Notion did what you formally needed multiple tools to do. 9:30 - A SAAS vitamin is rare because what motivates people and be willing to more money is experiencing a pain point 14:30 - Security and insurance products can be a painkiller for those who have already experienced the problem and a vitamin for those who haven't yet. 15:20 - The reason why understanding if you're building a painkiller or a vitamin matters is that it informs your messaging.…

EP23: The 8 Customer Yeses 24:09

2 years yang lalu24:09

24:09

Every long-term customer your business has went through a series of decision and said yes at each step along the way. In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the 8 customer yeses and how you can create an environment that makes it easier to get a yes each step of the way. TL;DR 2:30 - There is a series of 8 yeses that a prospect needs to go through to become and stay a customer. 3:10 - #1 Yes, I have a problem. A the start comes an initial recognition of the problem. 3:40 - #2 Yes, I want to solve that problem. Realizing you have a problem doesn't mean you are ready to take action to solve it. A customer needs to be motivated or ready to take action and often only a customer can take this step. 5:13 - #3 Yes, I want to try your solution. Out of all the solutions that exist, a customer needs to be aware of your solution and view it at the top of their possible options. 6:10 - #4 Yes, I understand why this is valuable. Typically in SAAS this will happen through a free trial or an initial round of research. 6:50 - #5 Yes, I want to become a customer. The prospect is ready to pay and use the product. 8:10 - #6 Yes, I want to renew. Every month, quarter, or year your customer needs to continue paying and not churn. 10:15 - #7 Yes, I think that new plan or add on will be valuable for me. 12:45 - #8 Yes, I recommend this product. Ultimately you want any customer to be happy enough that they would recommend the product to someone who asks about it. 14:00 - There is an also a bonus 9th yes. Yes, I'm okay paying more. You want most of your customers to be so happy with the product that they would stay if you raised the price. 15:45 - It is worth going through the different yeses so that you can put yourself in the mindset of a prospect or a customer and all the steps they need to go through for your to have a thriving business. 20:30 - When you only focus on KPI's you can lose focus on creating an environment that makes it easy to say yes at each of these steps.
