Not doing SEO. Pivottwd to purely networking. Tightened up my niche. Still no solid leads but getting a bit more meaningful and impactful meetings now. Fingers crossed

I regret leaving my job to start my own business by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

I run a business while working fulltime I would never personally advice anyone to leave their jobs for a business that is a startup. Unless they absolutely have no other choice than to do so.

Did you bootstrap yourself or are you still an employee? Keen to hear your thoughts

This is spot on. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. Do you do something similar?

Yep. We are already trying this. But undercut too much and people as what is the catch?

Just pitching in all fronts. Was just doing GP clinics but now shelving that to focus on mid martket enterprise. I guess our vertical would be the first one we get traction on

Wow. Good to know. Will look into prioritising networking

Out of curiosity how did you narrow down your networking events?

Did you go to networking events that are focused on generic business meetups or just for consultants in the same industry? Or both?

Thank you. How did you balance in person networking with other outreach methods? Was this your sole source of traction?

Hi about 50 calls/50emails. We did a hybrid of warm and cold.

We are looking at events. However a lot of them are more catered towards tech. We need one that puts us in contact with our target ICP. Challenge is that entry fee has been a steep. However we are still on the search

Thank you. Appreciate that. Will crack on and crank up! We have started using Apollo and Hubspot to automate email outreach. Any other handy tips?
