Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 160 companies shows Referral Programs generates 17% of pipeline for Logistics companies at Seed. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.
For 3-10 people teams: assign one person to own Referral Programs end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
