10 growth tactics that never work | Elena Verna (Amplitude, Miro, Dropbox, SurveyMonkey)

[@yuxihe937]

Elena is not only an absolute powerhouse in product and growth but also has a chill, wickedly smart personality that's incredibly soothing to listen to. Love her!

[@Misteranderson123]

Looks like she works at Dropbox which has been shrinking rapidly since her time of employment.

Elena is such a growth powerhouse, oh my goodness!! 57 minutes in and I don't want this to end.

[@Thomas-Maximus]

Elena is a national treasure. One of the coolest people in the business.

More videos like this please. ❤This is the most important topic of this era. Knowing what doesn’t work is so essential to every entrepreneur. Please make another one or do a course, do something but we need more!

17 minutes in and I already hear things that I foundamently need to change. Thank you both!

I’m a CMO and could not agree more with Elena’s point about rebrands and homepages! Every time I have led one there is a hit to traffic for at least a quarter. I believe rebrands can be powerful for many reasons but immediate growth is not one of them. Love the real talk!

I’m not familiar with Chanel (spelling) score for how many people will ise your product. I searched but couldn’t find anything - can you share a link where I can learn more?

[@gqueful]

Now, that's what I call a solid in-your-face walk-up call. Thank you guys

Elena explained Growth Hacks quite well opening a totally new domain, never knew if growth frameworks exist, to share her contrarian - full time job gets me thinking and closing off on reading materials. Thanks for introducing her!

3er time ? Wow! After so many heavy hitters nowI feel i have to reseach her work in real deep! Another great sunday of Lenny and ☕ thanks!

ABSOLUTE GROWTH QUEEN 🏆

[@amirm1074]

Lenny, I love your way of summarizing insights, very useful ❤

[@RyanMorrissey11]

Too good. Must watch multiple times during different stages of my start up.

[@RukshanJ]

Wow.. another one with Elena!

[@СофияМележик-ч3г]

Thanks for this video! Very insightful !

[@tcallquest]

Kudos to Elana. She's really leveraged this podcast and a witty social media presence to carve out and stick to a strategic framework that might be too good to fail. And honestly it's symbolic with MUCH of Silicon Valley... Insert relatively smart human into a company with fantastic product market fit and a captive audience, and watch as your career is minted even when the ecosystem optimizes success and (often) masks or dampens failure. Only she's taken this reality and put metrics around it; 1M+ in ARR, signal for PMF, deep data across a vast user base, level expectations... I don't know if it all sounds like one massive cop out or just the right kind of perfect from a smart person who created leverage, but good on her either way.

[@bhartendrasingh7232]

Interesting take. 😎

[@bericadori]

Great insights! This time I have experienced some of the 10 things that does not work, nice to get confirmation on the things. I am not alone! Thanks!

[@annfender]

Amazing, to the point, thanks Lenny and Elena!

[@Herman.S]

Nice! Loved the 2 previous interviews with her 👏

[@arturbernardes3352]

Thanks God for being here, i love it, you re so smart Elena!

[@amirm1074]

She is great!❤

[@chat10000com]

I both made mistakes and succeeded regarding the issues mentioned. Thank God, I am not alone.

[@NordylitoDungo]

Thank you girl for this nice message I understand to have no knowledge in so many things is so hard to work in any company I understand I appreciate this podcast is so nice and love to me but in real it's hard to working podcast because is long but I can for me is so easy I think long term I cannot work because for a health situation it's great to experience this❤

[@NiclasThelander]

Completely agree on the contrarian view. Permanent, full-time role is not always the best. It's all about where you can develop your skills, find the most interesting opportunities, or earn the most. At Outsized we see this trend every day - the nature of employment is secondary to the points above.

When you hit the Like button right after watching the teaser clip 😍

[@subzerosumgame]

[@ira_herself9663]

Can somebody summarize? 😢

[@vanillaicecream1948]

Pretty sure there should be an "AI - powered" tool out there.
