Today we’re talking with Yam Regev, the founder of Zest.is, a content distillery focused on providing actionable content to its users. Yam shares how combining a human touch with automation became essential to Zest’s rapid growth.
Zest has gone from 0 to almost 18,000 weekly active users in just a year, and a lot of that growth is thanks to the fact that Yam personally responded to every single content submission when Zest first started.
That human touch created a powerful WOW moment for Zest’s users, which created a positive feedback cycle that brought them back over and over.
So listen to how Yam was able to achieve this super-human feat by being smart about when to automate & when to be human, and how his commitment to the unscalable led to Zest’s success.
(And make sure to tune in next week, where Louis and I are going share what the next phase of this show is going to look like.)
Enjoy!
