Goal: your first 10 paying customers.Goal: your next 10 paying customers.

Your strategy

Cold email, LinkedIn and community answers drafted by your agents, plus intros from people you know: intro replies in days, cold replies from week 3.

$1,000 buys about 200 search clicks: enough for the first 150-click test with its hard stop, not the full Paid strategy. Run it beside Hands-on, or add $1,000 to run Paid.

Your three PlaysYour four Plays

  1. Cold emailYour agent emails companies that gave a public reason to talk: three short emails at most, stopped at the first reply.
  2. LinkedIn outboundPicks each day’s people on LinkedIn and drafts the note and messages; you send each one from your own profile.
  3. Community answersFinds people asking about the problem you solve, and gets a sourced answer up from your account within hours.
  4. Founder voiceDrafts your LinkedIn and X posts from views you have stated and your own numbers, invents nothing, and you post every one.

Cold email at 50 a day, with 10 hours a week.

Ads on your own accounts: a $300 to $500 message test on Meta, then 150 search clicks with a hard stop, and 350 more only if signups arrive.

Your three Plays

  1. Paid searchBids on searches from people looking for a tool like yours, and runs only while a first sale earns more than it costs to win.
  2. Positioning tournamentTests three ways of saying what you do, as ads that differ in one phrase, and counts only signups that fit and act.
