Episode Highlights

01:17 – I wouldn’t say that I found Simply Noted. I felt like Simply Noted found me. I was in a marketing class and I had a professor going over the success rates in marketing and everything was super nominal, email, cold call, all the normal stuff. And then he ended the lecture saying, “Handwritten notes have a 99% open rate.” I just thought that was such a believable stat because who doesn’t open a handwritten note? So, I just thought it was a good business idea. There’s a lot more in between and there’s a lot more that came after, but that was really like the idea where the seed was planted. Handwritten notes can be a really good business idea if there’s a cool, easy way to do it.
