    Do you feel things slowed down in April? 🤔

    April seems to be one of the slowest months traditionally (my third SaaS). Do you feel/see the same? More context: - My startup is still growing at around 25-30% MoM in MRR... but - I have way fewer emails and overall requests. - Way less feedback. - Almost no NEW reviews. - Etc...

    I'm experiencing a lot of "out of office emails in my inbox". It seems many decision-makers taking their annual leave in early April + a few holiday days off.

    @igor_stankovic April and May IN EUROPE always has the Easter holidays scattered all over. Different countries celebrate in different ways and times. April has Easter + orthodox church Easter + Ramadan causing folks to be away throughout April.

    No. But then I don't actually run a SaaS company. To me it feels a lot like things are going faster.

    @vedranrasic Sounds like you're missing inbound. Did you the same as always? Maybe it's just time for more outbound!?

    @vedranrasic Actually, last week my LinkedIn profile appeared in uncharacteristically low amounts of searches. Like down 25-30%. That usually is an indicator of vacation time. If I look back at the past three years of data for LinkedIn profile searches for April, it's typical to at least have ONE week in April which is very much on the low side.

    @jakob_thusgaard inbound is almost exclusively the only thing we do. We can have a chat on the outbound. I am a bit rusty with outbound + cheap (avg rev per user). :)

    @jakob_thusgaard Very interesting... The data seems to be consistent across channels and years. I can vouch for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and now 2022.
