Building a successful ecommerce or SaaS business is no small feat – it requires grit, determination, and a strategic mindset. But once you’ve scaled your business, how do you maximise profitability and maintain that upward growth trajectory?
G’day, Jason Andrew here, and you’re listening to Stark Naked Numbers. This episode is for all the ecommerce or SaaS founders out there, deep in the trenches, who know the blood, sweat and tears it takes to build something remarkable.
Today I’m joined by Carla Penn-Kahn, a true powerhouse in the ecommerce industry. She’s scaled and exited several brands from $3 million to $30 million without any external funding. Now, she’s the brains behind Profit Peak, a SaaS company designed to help other ecommerce owners optimise their operations using first-party data.
In this episode, Carla shares her journey, profitability tactics and operations advice. We get very tactical in this episode which I simply love.
Enjoy the show.
