March State of Play - What to Do with a Declining Business, Writing Custom Software with AI & When You Tire of Being the Boss | eCommerce Fuel | Podwise
This eCommerce Fuel podcast episode features Andrew Youderian and Bill D'Alessandro discussing recent forum discussions among seven and eight-figure eCommerce store owners. They cover topics including AI-powered programming tools for inventory management (saving one member over six figures in SaaS fees), the adoption (or lack thereof) of Google Analytics 4, and the challenges of leadership and scaling a business. Bill shares his experience using IntelliGems for A/B testing and discusses the current state of the public and private markets, noting a recent uptick in private market activity. The hosts also offer advice on navigating declining businesses, suggesting that selling might be preferable to letting a business slowly fail, even if it means a lower financial return. Listeners gain insights into practical business strategies and the value of peer support within the eCommerce community.
