    There are many client acquisition techniques (inbound, outbound, paid, referrals etc). Curious to hear about real-world stories. For buska, the first customer we got was through post content on LinkedIn

    We got our first customer by actively reaching out to our network, sharing our product’s value proposition, and offering a personalised demo to show how it solves their specific problem.

    Posted a demo on Reddit and a user reached out wanting to try it. That turned into my first sale.

    @florence_fleming oh how nice. How did you do not to get banned ? Which subreddit did you post on ? (Cause Reddit is great but every time someone mentions their product they get hammered 😅

    My first customer came from a Facebook group where I was active. Just shared some helpful insights, and someone reached out asking about my product!

    I offered free trials to my network, and one of my friends referred me to a business that became my first paying customer.

    Not including myself, our first customer was (and still is) a lawyer who we consulted while creating terms of service and privacy policy for our app. It was super inspiring to have someone so interested in our project from the beginning, while not even actively pursuing to recruit him as a customer.

    When I launched my product, I took a proactive approach and shared detailed posts about it on LinkedIn. One of those posts caught the eye of our first customer, and from there, things just took off!

    I hosted a small webinar to showcase the product, and someone signed up immediately after. It was a great way to build trust early on.

    For me, the first customer came through a well-targeted ad campaign. It was a bit of a gamble, but it helped me get that crucial initial traction.

    I approached a local firm that may use my goods and offered them a special deal. They ended up being my first customer.

    They probably found me on social media. 😅 And reached out to me. 🙂

    Reddit and Twitter. These two are the platforms I often use to comment on user needs. This method is the simplest, but be careful not to advertise, otherwise your account will be banned.

    We used LinkedIn to find leads and reach out to potential customers in our target market. Built genuine relationships first, then offered personalized demos to show how our product could help their specific use case. Took time and persistence but it paid off when we landed that first customer! Social media outreach and real conversations were key for us.

    Posted a answer on Quora and a user reached out. That's how I made the first sale for my product.

    @gill_richardson that surely helps ! But then the question is, did they churn or did you manage to keep them on ?
