You’re genuinely the best channel I’ve come across for business content. Thanks for great content! Will sign up 👍🏻.

[@TKKader]

Welcome aboard!

[@erictompkins6418]

Ideal customer profile vs initial customer profile - that finally clicked for me. Ideal CP is where we want to go. Initial CP is the customers that get us to the next step.

[@TKKader]

Boom!

[@mNabeOma1Rn]

Amazing video. I have an interview with Techstars coming up and this video is a big help!

[@TKKader]

Boom!

[@orshamaim]

[@sandyj342]

Great one TK!

[@TKKader]

Appreciate it!

[@muhammadsioud3551]

Just a question, where does SAM and SOM stands in all of this?

[@MuhammedAbukhalil]

‏اللهم بارك❤️

[@crazy_gamers_0079]

Can I include TAM, SAM, and SOM as the user base, such as '5 billion users in a particular market,' or should I only use monetary value, like the size of the market in terms of dollars?

[@useydkerimoglu5720]

YES

[@TKKader]

🤗

[@tdang8]

Yes! I’ve watched a few of your TAM videos but had my biggest aha after this one. I was calculating a TAM ( as my initial customer) that was too niche….vs it being much bigger

[@TKKader]

Boom! Glad you got value!

[@Om-gg5tk]

great video, TK! I just have a quick question. If I am interested in coding my SaaS product on my own, which tech stack do you recommend-MEAN stack, MERN stack Or Python+Django+Flask? Or do you recommend I learn some other stack?

[@TKKader]

I’m OG. I do everything with Rails and React.

[@rilwanj]

As you’ve mentioned “taunt app” was in sales automation (that didn’t exist at the time), did you do have to teach people about the concept?

[@TKKader]

Yep. If you’re creating a new sub category, there’s a lot of teaching involved. And it was called ToutApp.

[@tedroshailu6465]

very interesting . if someone translate this content in more languages ....

[@blessed7fold]

This was interesting. However, you talk very fast so I had to cut the speed down to almost half to catch everything you were saying.

[@TKKader]

Thanks for watching!

[@imawesome69]

Some idea useful in this video. But it's more of a "What to calculate" instead of a "How to calculate"

[@TKKader]

Do you need help doing the math?

[@abimbolalukman9208]

Yes
