What if I don't have a baseline conversion number to compare against?

Tycoon Agent uses your last 30 days of normal-price checkout conversion as the baseline. If you've never run a sale before, she uses category benchmarks (SaaS flash sales typically 2-4x normal conversion) and flags this as a learning sale — every metric becomes your new baseline.

Can Tycoon Agent actually pull the plug, or does she need my approval?

By default she sends a kill recommendation with a one-click rollback button — you decide. If you tell her "full autonomy on flash sales," she'll execute the kill automatically and notify you after. Same for extensions if it's outperforming.

How is this different from just emailing a discount code myself?

The instrumentation. Most founders run a sale, get a revenue number, and never know which channel converted or whether it cannibalized full-price sales next week. Tycoon Agent tracks UTM-level ROI, retargets the visitors who didn't buy, and writes the retro you'd never get around to.

What does the wrap-up retro tell me?

Revenue total + new vs returning customer split, conversion rate by channel (email vs Twitter vs banner), AOV vs normal, top 3 customer segments who bought, and 3 specific changes to test next sale (better email subject, different discount %, longer window).

Ask Tycoon Agent: Run a 24h flash sale and watch conversion

You'd think this needs a marketing team and 3 days of prep — Tycoon Agent ships the whole thing in 30 minutes and watches it hourly.

The short answer

Tycoon Agent runs your 24h flash sale end-to-end: she creates the discount in Stripe, drafts and sends the email blast through Resend, ships a site banner via a Vercel preview deploy, sets up retargeting on LinkedIn and Twitter, and tracks hourly conversion in PostHog. Every 4 hours you get a Lark ping with conversion rate vs your last sale, top-converting traffic source, and revenue so far. If hour-8 conversion is below 60% of your baseline, she pings you with a kill recommendation and a one-click rollback. If it's outperforming, she'll suggest extending by 12h or pushing more spend into the winning channel. You go from "I should run a sale" to live promo with full instrumentation in under an hour — and you don't have to babysit a dashboard.
