Q1 2025 OKRs¶
| Period | January - March 2025 |
| Team | Company Wide |
| Theme | If you don't ask you don't get! |
Objective 1: Increasing Our Pipeline of Customers for the Current Platform¶
| # | Key Result |
|---|---|
| KR1 | 100 cold outbound per week to targeted accounts with x number of positive responses (insight gained into their gifting and/or customer signed up) |
| KR2 | Map out relevant industries, companies and key accounts to target them and get the insights - including mapping this out to current customers |
| KR3 | Engage with prospects at the right time with the right messaging |
| KR4 | Being product ready - 10 brands by end of Q1 |
| KR5 | Having relevant products and brands for upcoming events - map out top brands (i.e. Lululemon, Aesop etc.) for dual approach (existing marketplace and white label) |
| KR6 | Marketing site and landing pages with a plan in place for marketing content and collateral to roll out across channels |
| KR7 | Partnership channels: 3 new customers generated through partner channels - Smart Recruiters and FoundU webinar, co-promotion with partners |
Monthly Status¶
Month 1
- Target industries mapped out, conducting cold call sessions 3x per week. Trialing the leave voicemail email follow-up.
- Want to target 100 per week as goal by end of the month with 2-3 weekly positive responses.
- Still some customers to receive gift - emails of 'what's on your radar for 2025' have gone out.
- Product ready: Is there a workaround with some of these brands (discount codes/affiliate programs vs needing an integration)?
- FoundU webinar planned for late March.
- Giift and Pay.com.au have resurfaced this month and could both be a new source of orders.
- SRAI should also come through as a rewards partner for their pharmacy loyalty program.
Month 2
- March call targets: focusing on Smart Recruiters - 3-4 positive (meeting booked, insight gained, referral given) calls per cold-call session.
- Product ready: Johnny, Sheree and Mason to onboard 2 missing vendors (olive oil, flowers, local swag in Singapore etc.). End of month to start whitelabel outbound based on finalised designs.
- So far no new customers - big focus on Smart Recruiters.
- Sheree to look at social media engagement of Smart Recruiters posts and reach out to relevant people.
- SRAI meeting in place.
- After Smart Recruiters: build similar FoundU and Enboarder list for outbound.
Month 3
- Unsuccessful in ability to boost pipeline. Two main efforts tried: 1) mapping out whale customers and 2) SR customers for the new partnership. Seems to be shrinking budgets, being a 'nice to have', and needle in a haystack to find the right company at the right time.
- Some progress made with onboarding more vendors.
- Pushed hard on SR - will continue to do so into April.
- Sheree to continue reaching out to social media leads.
Objective 2: Getting Ready for Whitelabel¶
| # | Key Result |
|---|---|
| KR1 | 35 early customer conversations and buy-in with existing or new vendors about whitelabel by end of February - all conversations recorded with an AI tool and worked off a script (pain points, tech, pricing, product preference etc.) |
| KR2 | March: spent on consolidating insights and learnings from beta group - particularly important to feedback loop with design and development team |
Monthly Status¶
Month 1
- 30 conversations completed so far, all AI recorded with a script.
- Ready to share insights on design and MVP in mid Feb (ahead of schedule).
- 1st meeting with Josh to go through this and then feedback to CJ on the design front.
Month 2
- 33 conversations had so far with 14 beta customers keen to go.
- By end of the month start outbound to get beta group higher. Aiming for 25-30.
- All feedback provided to Josh and CJ and designs are being finalised.
- Pricing this month to be provisionally worked out so we can start onboarding brands outside of our network.
Month 3
- Been a directional change post offsite with the GTM and early access customers.
