This is what we're doing: showing socially-conscious, eco-conscious, and/or changemaker business owners how to boost profit margins and change the world together.

Does that resonate with you?

Yes you CAN stop using Amazon for all your books, Kindle, Audible, movies, shipping, goods, and AWS.

It's possible and once you get over the initial shock it's actually painless.

Support the bookstores that support you back.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
I'm weird with you! I adore custom made and always happy to wait however long it takes.

One of my most commonly-used phrases in ALL areas of my life is, "no rush." And I MEAN it. I'm fine with waiting for my food at a restaurant, my drink order, my Etsy order, customer service to look into it, etc.
Why the FUCK is this cop just watching men in plain clothes with no badges, no uniforms, NOTHING to identify them, terrorize this woman and kidnap her????

What the fuck dystopian nightmare are we forced to live in?

This is WRONG! Whether it's legal or not (I don't know anymore) it's still WRONG!
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
Not surprised.
Almost like the purpose was never about profits (but about changing society.)
Oh that's horrible!
The Amazon-effect of getting things within 2 days of ordering has seriously screwed up society.
Yes to ALL of this!

I have yet to feel left behind by any of the slop, garbage, and massively incorrect AI anything.

I'll take human typos over made-up studies that don't exist any day.
I've never been a Kit user myself... What are your favorite features that you feel you can't live without?

And if you knew there was an ethical email marketing tool that had those same features ~ but was more aligned with your values ~ would you consider switching?
It's a good thing you have a values-aligned replacement in your tech stack already! 🥳
This is what I get for not using 🌿Fern CRM for everything:

The (non-Fern) chat widget we've used for almost a decade is suddenly unavailable, not showing up on any pages, & the site/dashboard is inaccessible.

So we'll (finally) replace it with our own Fern CRM chat, but it's down in the meantime.
New feature for 🌿Fern CRM users ~ your communities now have live streaming!! 🤩

You can start a meeting room where members can see each other & interact (like group coaching for example)

OR

You can use a streaming service (like Zoom) to broadcast live & anyone can watch (like FB live, webinar)
Our tech team is playing Ghost of Yotei in the new Fern HQ lounge area and I just want to watch the gorgeous scenery and listen to the stories instead of working!

Guess I'll be taking an extra long lunch break today, lol

🎮👺🦊
I would've LOVED to have seen that!!
Sounds like you've finally got the social distance you've been craving from the Silicon Valley tech bros that bother you.
I was just talking about this in the Grassroots group today!

Someone asked about where on their website they could share a blurb that goes deeper into their methodology (& who their audience is that uniquely needs it) and I thought it sounded perfect for their About page.
Looking forward to 🌿Fern CRM Office Hours today because I get to test out how well we've solved the echo & sound clashing problems in the new HQ.

We decided to break out our PlayStation gaming headsets before spending $1000+ on soundproofing materials & rearranging the offices.

#BizGrowth problems
I'm in LOVE with it!

Everything is an improvement and there's so much room for creativity. More to come soon!
Sneak peek into the new 🌿Fern HQ!

Lots of natural light for the ferns & I love seeing so much sky instead of buildings/traffic.

Right now it's one big echo chamber which I direly need to fix.

(Which means new CRM tutorials are temporarily on hold.)

Hit me up if you have any soundproofing tips!
They've done a really good job of making it impossible to 100% boycott Amazon.

It seems like there should be monopoly laws to protect us from being dependent on a single douchebag's empire.
I second this! I love that view as a passenger, but everything else about it sucks.

I never even considered the microplastics angle, that's horrible!
🌿Fern CRM is optimized for customer experience and we can see the difference in our stats + sales.

The login link is at the top of every website page, easy to find because we WANT our users to find it easily.

Our customers rave about us, online and off. And we have almost no churn year over year!
Pro-tip from a CX expert: customer ease increases retention AND conversions!

Optimizing your site for your existing clients/customers is just as important as optimizing it for new sales.

People who struggle to find the login link are less likely to refer & less likely to keep paying every month.
How do we refute whatever study resulted in SaaS brands making it so hard to find their "login" link from their home page?

It's become a red flag for me that a SaaS product is optimized for conversion, not actual usage, when I have to hunt for the "login" link.

#SaaS #usability #CX #UX
The login button on 🌿Fern CRM's home page is the top source of our website traffic and I'm 100% here for it!

Why on earth would we want to make it harder for our awesome people to find their dashboard and keep using it every month???
