You are right. I used "inbound" wrongly. Thanks for detailed explanation. Do you have some ideas on how to determine N?

You would need to atleast have a rough idea of your ICP. Starting with blank canvas is too much trial and error, not practical for small startups. Then you would approach them at their place of hanging out (Reddit, HN, Twitter are most comm

Strange that it didn't work at that traffic level with zero CAC. Was product expensive to build/run?

I guess there exists both set of readers. First who are clear with their destinations, and simply want the best journey towards it. Second who want to know different journeys to finalize their destinations. Majority falls in first set, but

I also think along the similar lines. Plus meeting prospects physically isn't always possible, especially when you are selling outside own country. So well-targeted emails seem good strategy to generate inbound interest. Less intrusive

And because they create so much noise, no option left for a new comer other than trying to shout louder than them. All-in-all a vicious cycle of spamming!

How did you find those callers?

+1 for freemium. A lot of advice against it, but it is working for me. Right limit on usage/feature is the key to avoid abuse and maximize conversions.

It is highly skewed for incumbents and big startups like Notion. And "winner takes all" setup would mean there is 95 percent chance you won't be visible in search results even if someone searched by exact keyword of your prod

Ripple effects of success! How do you manage customer support for so many users in 3 different companies alone?

Inspiring, you must be having a good number of connections on LinkedIn. Target audience?

Target audience? Did you use any tool to find relevant threads?

by jainvivek 2y ago
Target audience? And in what duration you got those 100 users just by conversations?
54.
by jainvivek 2y ago
That's one point of view, but it works. Of course sender should research the audience properly, and provide one-click unsubscribe option right at the top.
