Nº145 🎶 Lord, there's got to be some changes, Gonna be a whole lot of re-arranges 🎶

By Jon Woodroof • Issue #145 • View online

Good morning!

What do I have in common with Bruce Lee, Bill Nye & Jimi Hendrix? We were all born on November 27th! 🎂

I’m officially 34 today & Twotone is officially 4. I was born on this day in Landstuhl, Germany on Ramstein Air Force Base way back in 1984 & four years ago yesterday I officially incorporated Twotone as a BV here in The Netherlands. Furthermore, (and not quite a topic for a mostly work related newsletter) later today I’ll be at the courthouse for my divorce hearing.

So, if you’re in Amsterdam, come celebrate with a drink at Twotone HQ tonight. To be clear: we’ll announce our annual company party soon so no worries if you can’t swing by today : )

as always thank you for reading,

Jon

Now, every time I visit my kids in Florida I use this bike to stay car-free!

Your startup is just getting off the ground. You might have a few account executives and a sales leader in place; maybe some revenue and a handful of customers. The sales team costs real money, and the question before the company is: how do know what quota plan to assign to the account executives?
