[Roundup] Gorgias vs. Help Scout: Which help desk is better?

Hey Reader,

In light of recent price increases, I thought it would be important to reevaluate if our help desk subscription is still worth it. With that said, I take two of the biggest SaaS tools side by side and see which one takes the cake.

This is my verdict.

WordPress vs. Shopify

For our next Secret Sauce class, we’ll be unpacking a question asked by many newbie ecommerce entrepreneurs: how do I drive additional traffic to my listing? 

The two most common suggestions you’ll probably get are WordPress and Shopify. While each has its own set of pros and cons, we’ll discuss how you can optimize in both during the session.

The mini-class will be tomorrow, August 17 at 10 AM (PST).

Sign up for Secret Sauce.

 

Happy selling,

Dave
