We got our first client as reference from a friend. After that cold emailing, inquiries on our website, Clutch and LinkedIn are the best mediums for us to acquire our clients. We got the biggest client through cold email.

We used a combination of targeted marketing and word-of-mouth advertising to reach a wider audience. We also leveraged our existing network of contacts and industry connections to get our message out to potential customers.

Our biggest client or user was acquired through a strategic partnership with a renowned educational institution. By showcasing the unique features and benefits of our edtech application, we demonstrated how it aligned perfectly with their educational goals and vision. This collaboration allowed us to tap into their extensive network, gaining exposure to a large user base and solidifying our position as a trusted provider in the education sector. The successful implementation of our platform and the positive feedback from this influential client further boosted our credibility and attracted more users to our application.

Hey! The 1st clients were our own startups🥹.. but after that it was close connections. We ran a few ads on FB and youtube, got some leads initially as well. Apart from that we tried cold emailing to other startups/agencies like ourselves.

@vladimir_zivkovic Oh as you may have noticed with me not being around PH that much, 😅 been a bit hectic, pushing things around to get things moving faster. But overall its doing better, with more signups coming in.
@shaaay how did cold emailing work for you?

For me it was soo hard. Then i realised, my ideal client needs experts (ie. is not too big) and has funds to spend. And who are these? Well... startups that just raised millions and looking to outsource. This is why i created www.wonderleads.io, a monthly service thst sends you leads from best startups that just raised. So simple. So effective.

Landed our big fish with a cold email, believe it or not. Spent a good hour crafting it - short, punchy, all value no fluff.

Everyone should be careful where they invest their money. Cryptocurrency has made many rich and at the same time made so many broke and desperate. In the process of looking out for a solution to get back my stolen Cryptocurrency, I got connected to crypto recovery through a friend who knows more about him. He gave me his contact details and I got in touch with him. Immediately I had lost my 7.4BTC to a fraudulent investment platform. I am writing this testimony to advise anyone who has had a similar issue/s to open a case with crypto Recovery hacker or start an email conversation with him on (CRYPTORECOVERYHACKER @ Gmail com) for his help. I narrowly escaped what would have otherwise destroyed me financially. Few weeks after I was referred to him, he was able to get back all my stolen funds through his services. If you ever want to recover your cryptocurrency that was stolen or lost I can only recommend him because crypto recovery is reliable and trustworthy
