Toilets, Pomegranate, and Hangover Days – Sales Lead Digest
The last digest of the year has a few random product/market fit examples, one is the office toilet and one a pomegranate pitter. We add another chapter to the world of mattresses, where we learn about luxury mattress thieves. And finally, we talk about recruiting new talent with unique benefits.
LeadGen Compass wishes you a Happy New Year! We hope 2020 meets and exceeds your high expectations!
The corporate poo patrol is coming after your precious toilet time
“We all appreciate the little things in life, and that includes spending five minutes on the toilet scrawling through Twitter on company time. But those days may be at risk with the StandardToilet, a seat that claims to drastically reduce toilet time.”

We stayed at a fancy hotel in Paris once and my wife became obsessed with the bathtub. I’m not sure I would have stolen it for her, but if they had a catalog I’d consider ordering it. READ MORE

‘My boss lets us book hangover days’
“Ellie is 19 and works as a PR manager for a digital marketing agency. Like a growing number of employers, her boss offers flexible working arrangements, including flexible hours and unlimited holiday.
It also lets employees take ‘hangover days’ where they work from the comfort of their own sofa – or even bed.”
We may be reaching peak employment here in the USA and it’s going to be a fight to attract talent. The rebranding of PTO may be what wins the battle! READ MORE
