The Pixies at the Wang Center in Boston, 27 November 2009: Jay Reatard opening set, 6 weeks before his death by Chris Devers

At first glance, Alex Zhardanvosky and Joe Speiser don’t practice the “stick to your core competencies” mantra they preach. After selling a major share of Azoogle (now part of Epic Media Group), the online advertising business they founded in 2000, they started selling… pet food.

“In 2002 we had $2.1 million in sales at Azoogle,” Alex says. “By 2005 we had grown to $64 million. We sold a chunk of the company and started looking for another business we could start from scratch.”

In spite of the Pets.com debacle—in fact, partly due to the highly public failure of Pets.com—the two launched PetFlow.com, a scheduled online pet food business, in March 2010.

“We love pets, and as pet owners we knew there was no way for a customer to buy pet food online easily,” Alex says. “The industry had been largely devoid of investment after Pets.com failed, and we saw that as a definite opportunity.” After less than four months PetFlow.com took its first orders and has since grown at a 10-15% monthly pace, with November sales reaching nearly $1.5 million.

Alex has started several successful businesses—and has made angel investments in a number of companies founded by previous partners and employees—so I asked him to share a few lessons learned from multiple start-ups. Here’s what he said, in his own words:

Never try to act “big.” Red tape starts playing a big factor when a start-up reaches a certain size. Small companies try to act really big, sometimes just because a few employees came from larger companies and they feel the organization needs to become more “corporate.” For example, frequent meetings aren’t a productive way to spend time. In big corporations you have Monday sales meetings, Wednesday management meetings, Thursday operations meetings… but if you create a naturally open forum, you don’t need all that. We set up open office layouts so we don’t need to discuss things as a team; everyone is already in everyone’s business, so to speak, in a really good way. Joe and I share an office and we almost never close our door.

“New” doesn’t have to mean “complicated.” Most products are wants, not needs. You don’t have to buy an iPod, but if you have a dog you have to feed your dog. We wanted to provide a solution to an ongoing need. The pet category is completely recession-proof and it isn’t based on fads or fashion. Plus it’s non-cyclical: Dogs don’t eat more at Christmas than they do in July, so we don’t have to ramp up for the holiday season. As long as we execute well our customers naturally become long-term customers.

What others do is irrelevant. On the Internet it’s all about deals, but when you create a valuable product and service proposition you don’t have to give it away. We don’t offer sales or discounts. While we provide pet food, we really sell a service and the elimination of a chore. In essence, we sell time—our customers’ time. To feed your pet you have to go to the store, walk down the aisle, stand in line, lug the heavy bag home… and do it over and over. That’s a chore. Customers love us because we eliminate that chore, and brands love us because we don’t discount their products and dilute the value of their brand. Most online retailers focus solely on being the low-cost provider, but providing the best overall value—in cost, convenience, and making life better for your customers—matters a lot more.

Stick to your core competency.  We learned this the hard way. When we started our online advertising network we focused on cost-per-action (CPA), performance-based advertising. Then we spent a year trying to start a cost-per-impression (CPM) network and eventually realized our customers didn’t want it. We diverted lots of smart people and spent lots of money on a glittery opportunity that was a complete loss of time and revenue. Now we like to say, “Never bend over a dollar to pick up a quarter.”

Of course you could argue that PetFlow.com wasn’t in our core competency, but while the category itself is different we knew the model inside out. In our online advertising business we worked with Netflix, Blockbuster, Columbia House, and other major subscription-based services. We knew how to land and develop long-term customers.  So we stuck to our core competency, at least until we had to…

Take over when you have to. We started out using a third-party logistics (3PL) provider to handle fulfillment. The problem is that once you reach a certain growth rate it’s tough for a 3PL to grow with you. When our 3PL started to struggle—missing ship dates, shipping orders incorrectly, shipping to wrong addresses, etc.—we knew we were in trouble, because from a business owner’s standpoint there are only two things that matter: How many customers you have and how long you keep them. So we stopped advertising in June, leased our own facilities, and jumped headfirst into warehousing and logistics, even though it’s something we knew nothing about. We thought we could use others to handle critical tasks but we were wrong.

As daunting it seemed, we got really smart people to help us. We found the best in breed software, found a staffing agency to help us hire great people, and already we’re more efficient than our 3PL had been.

Our business is highly dependent on scale and growth, and it’s really important that we deliver consistently… so core competency or not, we had to take over.

Delegate—and then delegate some more. Our employees typically don’t need to ask for permission. We give employees a specific task and trust them to make the right decisions; if they don’t, together we’ll figure out what to do better next time—and then everyone will know what to do. Then, after we delegate we…

Don’t micromanage. I ask people to only copy me on emails when they want me to know about something, not because I have to know. When employees feel they have the authority to take action and generate revenue for the company, they’re a lot more productive.

Find what matters and then excel. We don’t try to make PetFlow.com a pet food “discovery” site. And we don’t try to educate our customers about pets or pet foods because they’re already extremely knowledgeable. Our goal is to make it easy for customers to purchase what they already know they want, so we focus our energy on making our shopping cart and checkout system as simple and easy as possible. “More” isn’t always better. Sometimes “more” is just distracting.

Let your customers drive your business. We currently have about 4,500 SKUs and we’re expanding all the time because we let our existing customers tell us what they want. Customers will buy what they ask for, so find ways to ask. When your customers tell you what they want and you give them what they want they’ll stick with you for a long time.

    Yulia Sobol and Iryna Vyrtosu, Business Link by Business Link

    There are numerous those who are happy to carry out bead do the job as well as other handy hobby. Subsequently there are some people that invest moment along with craftsmanship in model railway trains. To many, this specific activity is actually scary yet you can be stunned the way quickly anybody can conquer that initial effect whenever they manage to get thier face to face a new prepare established. Train models appeal to the majority of us. There exists that certain nostalgia and impression involving history when you go to the train engine.

    Type railway locomotives include vapor locomotives, diesel-engined trains, energy teaches plus much more. Additionally, it consists of freight automobiles, metallic ice-bunker reefer, metal caboose, material passenger cars in addition to ready-to-run cheap train locomotives. There’re come in super-detailed underbodies, trucks as well as interiors. The actual moving stock also includes effectively autos, family fridge autos, lay automobiles in addition to voyager vehicles. Almost all o these kinds of are made to reproduce the initial coach or car ıt had been patterned regarding. However, this trains are not entirely loved when they are only standing. Possessing these people operate on this paths will be what makes all of it rewarding. Every level teach extends over a matching course in addition to measure. One example is, intended for Gary range train locomotives, they usually run using 1 measure monitors. Pertaining to children that just observed their love for locomotives, they are able to look at the surrender the particular construction involving E-Z Design railroads coming from Bachmann Industries as well as various other prepared to operate packages through various other producers like Lionel, MTH, Atlas, and also Athearn.

    Apart from simply viewing your trains are powered by trails, building your surroundings throughout the tracks is among the the majority of enjoyable element on this passion. Will probably be up to this educate grasp if the tunnel should be used, what number of loops need to there become, exactly what constructions might be combined with create your page layout practical and also life-like. Many businesses have format buildings using the level ideal. Nonetheless, superior to just obtaining those sets, it’s technique better to make them by yourself. There are plenty of products available available in the market that will will provide you with any in depth manual on what assemble your normal water podium, additional properties as being a garden, farmhouses as well as law enforcement officials channels in addition to newsstands. All this will depend on the particular concept the actual train is and also on the time. Design train train locomotives sparkle one of the most throughout environment which best healthy your educate by itself. An example could be modeling the connected with railway snowplows intended for DL&W circa 1950s. That has a qualifications of artificial compacted snow, imagine precisely how great the actual teach looks the way it rates with the compacted snow, plowing all this coming throughout the trails.

    These works of art come in numerous styles. On the most basic for the major, just about every teach delivers specific awe in order to any individual. Phoning these individuals works of art is valid towards the behave the particular style train locomotives will get a make-over. Within the impression of which many coach cars are decorated to generate these seem weathered. This really is, of course, determined by this educate hobbyist’s ken. You must be careful not to overdo the weathering course of action mainly because occasionally it can get out of palm as well as train vehicles previously ordered throughout mint condition will forfeit their first top quality. A few railroaders will resort to be able to graffiti on their trains which will turn unattractive at times.

    Motivation coaching (that’s occasionally otherwise known as attraction instruction) is often a truly prosperous instruction opportinity for teaching animals a range of desired behavior. As well as, in addition to being very practical, incentive instruction is definitely an effortless, enjoyment method to make use of. This particular education approach gives much quicker, much more reliable final results in comparison with approaches that will be dependent to some good extent about scolding, modifications or even punishment, and it does it in a way that is considerably more very theraputic for each you along with your doggy. Given that compensate education can be so productive, it is actually currently essentially the most well-known doggy instruction methods. From its heart, compensate education works simply because you may compliments your puppy simply by using a handle or perhaps bit of food every time he or she really does what exactly an individual request. Almost all masters go along with the food incentive along with voiced advantages. The food goods in addition to reassurance are generally optimistic support in which aids your dog figure out how to bring up those things they executed with beneficial issues (food and also authorization) and also induces him for you to duplicate that will conduct once more. And also helpful, compensate teaching provides a somewhat more good instructing atmosphere in comparison to various other coaching techniques. Taking into consideration that it’s some sort of reward-based technique, you can compensate your dog if ever they really does while you question. Scolding, striking, penalising or fixing ones chase regarding certainly not subsequent ones need will be do not found in reward education. You merely inspire and as well bolster those things one does be expecting your pet to complete. This type of constructive encouragement makes incentive training the far more rewarding encounter intended for pros as well as dogs in comparison to penalizing your pet. You do need to be very wary for you to only provide your pet pet snack foods on the ideal occasion during teaching intervals, on the other hand. Should the minute on the benefits is not in connection with your puppy carrying out since you need, he is able to acquire confused in relation to specifically what you will similar to, in addition to he may possibly even commence imagining he’s going to get goodies regardless of. Consequently, ensure you simply just prize your dog for carrying out a thing correct. In certain ways, prize education is going to be opposite associated with aversive canine education, whereby canines tend to be prepared to connect unwanted behaviors along with undesirable encouragement like scolding, corrections or downright charges. The bad support concludes if the puppy performs the most well-liked perform. Within rule, that course of action attempts pet dogs coming from saying unfavorable actions as well as locomotives them to do precisely what pga masters want, however in the end it’s an agonizing course of action and never practically since profitable since inducement teaching. As an alternative to depriving or perhaps injuring your pet dog regarding what he or she may incorrect, bonus teaching helps you online reputation management
    demonstrate your dog precisely what you need your ex to accomplish and then pay back him when he or she should it. There may be an extra answer why reward training provides superior effects compared to aversive instruction. Reliability is crucial when you are coaching a dog. In case you are employing corrections along with consequence to decrease undesirable actions, you are going to must consistently penalize your canine each and every time he’s of which behaviour. Effectively, i am not really bots, as well as it happens to be difficult to become completely ready to do this every moment of the time. Anyone might need to do not ever set out as well as in no way consider the eye off types doggy just before you would perhaps get yourself a prospects for penalizing your pet whenever he creates a conduct problem. Produce just one slip-up and overlook to be able to reprimand your canine for the malfunction, and he can learn that will sometimes he can break free while using the misbehavior. Which is maybe not necessarily the lesson you would like them to master.
