Every quarter feels like a reset

By
Mukund Kabra

Quarters feel like a reset when nothing carries over: no record of what was learned, no systems that keep running. Keep a learning log, build always-on programs alongside campaigns, and start each plan from last quarter's results.

Every quarter feels like a reset

Every quarter feels like a reset

Problem

Every quarter starts from a blank page.

New goals, new campaigns and new priorities, with little connection to what happened before. Lessons from the last quarter live in people's heads, and some of those people have since left.

The company works hard and makes little lasting progress.

Insight

Progress compounds only when something carries over.

Two things carry over between quarters: knowledge, a written record of what worked and why, and systems, programs such as lifecycle flows and search content that keep producing without being relaunched.

Plans built on both start ahead instead of at zero.

How we approach it

We make each quarter build on the last one.

  1. We set up a simple log of experiments, results and lessons.
  2. We shift effort toward always-on programs that keep working between campaigns.
  3. We start each quarter's plan with a review of what the last one taught.

Each quarter starts further ahead than the one before.
