May 7, 2021 Launched a Spin-out Service

I just launched https://saascast.io -- a revenue forecasting service that started out life as an internal tool for Quail. Are you a subscription-based business using Stripe? Saascast can show you your critical growth metrics from the future!

We're using it at Quail to see which trial users have converted and which need a little help, and to help us plan out our next few months of advertising spend. Here's hoping some other bootstrappers find it helpful, too.

December 2018 Reached $2k MRR

After a long fallow period during which I completely neglected growth to focus on customer support and paying down some tech debt in the product, a successful referral campaign brought Quail up to $2k MRR at the end of November. Forward to 2019!

    Hi Trevor, I also build POS retail software in a niche space (non-competitive with you). Can I ask what referral campaign you employed?

      Hey, @policenauts -- sorry for the crazy-delayed reply; I've been off IH for a while. I actually did my referrals by hand; I sent a bulk email to all active users letting them know that they'd get the discount for referring new stores. When new customers convert one of the things I ask them is if they were referred and by who, so I can pass along the discount -- just asking the question usually prompts them to do some referring of their own. It's a glorious, glorious chain reaction.
