How did you land your first customer?

by•

We just started messaging people on Linkedin who matched our ICP and offered a beta-discounted price for a lifetime. We got the first 50 users like that and then increased the price, continued using LinkedIn, and started using other channels. What about you? We're launching Skylead 3.0 soon: https://www.producthunt.com/products/skylead

@novabyte We used our Founders' accounts and started messaging our ICPs (mainly other CEOs and Founders). We managed to get a few replied but after a while you get lost in all the social media noise.

@panagiota_gkotsi Just a tip you should also go for public on youtube if you really got good tutorials videos with voice over and face cam you got monthly 100+ sales.

@sam_duc Yes i use to hire some screencast explainer sellers from fi**er and they did the great job for my last product tutorials and most of them went viral and stayed on 1st position for serval keywords which generates me 20k+ customers.

Launching soon!
A LinkedIn message. But it wasn't a cold sales message. I pinged the person to learn what they think of the product, they ended up paying as well.

Pitch the thing that create curiosity in user just like a month ago i have House for sale Albir and i pitch the customer that you have investment and do you want to make monthly good income. Then buy a house and get almost 5k$ monthly rental or whatever. This is how i land 1st one.

a lot of founders actually found few of their earliest customers through either referrals or they already had a network or a following built on social media hence they leveraged it to get their first few customers so that is a good way to go

Through own network.

Do you have any tips to keep in mind while cold DMing people on LinkedIn?
