MODERATORS
Software dev is fairly difficult to generate leads for, but I know a strategy that works.
-
Scrape all startups that recently got funded from crunchbase. The fact that they just got funded means that they have free cash to play around with and also need either product built or an MVP.
-
Take that list you scraped and scrape decision makers of those companies. A lot of freelancers offer this, make sure to ask to scrape both company and personal linkedin as well.
-
Build a cold email infrastructure so you can send 500 - 600 emails per day (I have a post on how to do this somewhere in my post history)
-
Leverage the successful exit of the owner in the cold email copy to build credibility and rapport. If he can, I'd suggest that he writes out a MVP checklist that you can offer in the emails as a soft hook.
example:
"Hey Mary, congrats on closing series A. I think at this point you start to realise that the saying "more money more problems" is true, haha.
I founded and exited X company back in 202X and was wondering if I could send over my ultimate MVP checklist?
Best,
the owner
the company"
- Test and reiterate. It's likely that the first copy won't hit the mark. Change the copy every 500 sends until you find something that works.
- Connect with the before scraped list on linkedin and start posting content that relates to your service AND solves tech startup problems.
Focus on writing 1 post that solves 1 problem every week.
Again, software development, hard one to crack since it's something you don't really need every day.
Good luck!

Aircraft charter, primarily Private Jets

Avoid the commercial flights, connection flights and connect directly to your destination. In case something goes wrong, other than others, we always provide a backup plan.

The distinguished traveller with a little more income or net worth than the average.
Depending on your margins, paid advertising is going to be your friend. I'll assume that your profit per deal is relatively high for this strategy.
- Collect all the preconceived notions, objections and reasons why people THINK private flying is not for them and write a pdf where you overcome those objections.
Some title ideas:
"11 things you need to know before flying private"
"Flying private - What commercial companies don't want you to know"
"7 misconceptions about flying private"
You're going to give this away in exchange for their contact information using lead ads.
- Once you have that lead, there's 2 things I'd do.
First, route their contact data to a newsletter platform (I use sendfox) and start nurturing them with a couple of emails per week.
Second, as soon as they submit their information, have an automated sms and text sent out that simply says
"Hey Axel, just sent you that pdf about flying private. Planing to travel anywhere anytime soon?"
If they say yes or answer positively, another automated SMS goes out and says "Would you consider flying private for this trip?"
Depending on what they answer next, a front desk person or assistant would take over from here and see what's what.
- In the email newsletter, further educate the list with topics surrounding your frequently asked questions. In the footer of each email, link to a reservation or booking page.
There's quite a few nuances to this so if you need a clarification to any of the points or you think that this would never work, let me know why!
IMO, take this to the next level by posting the plan publicly under the comment.
Will do!
What's your product/service
Saas platform for publishing digital magazine apps for iOS, Android, and web reader.
What problem it solves / why it's better than competitors
Does all of the heavy lifting of magazine app publishing from creation to app submission to content delivery (from six continents).
It's better than the competition for a number of reasons. To start, pricing is flat rate and 100% transparent.
Second, six weeks of intensive training in the business of magazine publishing is included. We provide a blueprint for success that has been developed over a decade. Absolute novices can hit the ground running and blow their own expectations out of the water.
There are many others, but I'll close with this: Unlike the competitors, bandwidth usage, # of issues, downloads, readers, subscribers, everything is unlimited. Publish 4 issues with 400 readers, or 4,000 issues with 4,000,000 readers, and the price doesn't budge.
Who's your ideal customer
Someone with an eye for fantastic content, a willingness to put in the work, and an eagerness to learn.
- Outsourcing agency of developers mostly, but IT people in general.
- I provide great offer-candidate fit fast and verify candidates.
- Startups, product companies.

I sell a chrome extension that generates personalised messages every time you visit a linkedIn profile
USP - It focuses on human editing + curation to produce a better quality messages than AI alone + it lives right on linkedIn where you need it, rather than as an external platform
- SDRs, BDRs, Recruiters who do cold outreach
- Website development - Main clientele are local small-medium businesses
- Fully coded pages that are much more customizable and give the edge in SEO compared to non-coded solutions like Wix and WordPress due to their inherent bloat
- A high transaction-volume and ideally local B2B business
By local I generally mean Australia-wide
- Custom paper packaging
- Freedom to customize every aspect of the packaging, I speak english in a Mandarin dominated field
- literally any corps/distributors that needs paper packaging
I know there's more than 10 already in the comments, but I still hope for some advice as I've not much experience. Anyone other than OP is welcomed too !
Cool! So the obvious route here is cold email. Scrape every single company that uses paper packaging and segment them based on size / revenue.
Come up with key benefits why they should consider you over their current supplier or competitors.
Create a cold email system (outlined in other comments and in a post in my post history)
Enrich your lead list with purchase manager details (first/last/email)
In your campaigns, offer to send over your price sheet.
Follow up and warm call those who said "yes" to price sheet.
We did the same thing for wholesale coffee and it worked great.

Smart Start Consulting's primary engagement mode is short term assignments, remotely or on-site, targeting the initial project set up. Ongoing monitoring is available on request. Most competitors want to run the project from start to finish and bring in a large team which makes engaging them very expensive. Our offering is contained, only last as long as the client wants and is very economical.

Clients of Smart Start Consulting are those organisations that are small enough to require the assistance of an experienced advisor and large enough to be able to support the consumption of cost conscious advice and input from a seasoned IT project practitioner. Short term engagement is the primary service offering.
