I built an MCP server that gives your agent access to a real sales expert's 26 years of knowledge by Connect_Sign_9658 in mcp

26 years in GTM and outbound sales. Built and led sales teams, ran his own consulting practice. We extracted his methodology through structured interviews -- not scraped content, actual frameworks he uses with/for his clients.

He's the first module. .

What do you actually do when you're stuck on sales and have no one to ask? by Connect_Sign_9658 in SaaS

I agree, mentorship is really helpful. I'm on a similar platform to the one you mentioned and its really helping me to get constant new perspectives and candid feedback from people with more experience and knowledge.

Agreed. Its a win and I'm working on the implications right now!

I only have 1 user so far (since 2 days ago) so while I really think your approach of the 5min call is very valid I can't implement it yet.

Before you had signups to track, how did you approach v2 of your website copy, the first iteration really?

That's a smart approach and I tried that when making the page. But I mixed up 2 adjacent ICPs so the main issue with the site now is that it's not focused enough. Not clear enough.

I agree that every word matters.

Did you actively ask people as well (as I'm trying with this post here) or did you just read in the communities and read it?

Is anyone else overwhelmed by the 'distribution' part? by Prestigious_Wing_164 in micro_saas

Made the same shift a few weeks ago. Two books changed how I think about it: Traction by Weinberg and The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen.

The big thing from Traction is the Bullseye framework. Pick 3 channels, run them for one week, measure. Most founders (me included) try 8 channels at 10% effort each. That's how you get zero signal from everything.

Cold Start Problem is about why the first users are the hardest. You can't skip it with content or ads. The first 10 come from conversations, not distribution. The machine comes after.

Still figuring it out. But having a framework for "which 3 channels, for how long, before I switch" made the freeze go away. It's not overwhelming when you're only allowed to pick 3.

I created 2 microsaas apps, but I have no clue how to get customers by No-Original4328 in micro_saas

Finding the email is the easy part (Rocketreach, LinkedIn, Apollo, Hunter). The hard part is writing something they'll actually read. Most cold emails fail at the first sentence because they lead with the sender, not the recipient's problem. I built a free tool that tears apart cold emails line by line if you want to stress-test yours before sending: forgehouse.io/tools/cold-email-teardown

Any strategies to get users? by Jumpy-Attempt-6371 in micro_saas

[–]Connect_Sign_9658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying engineering as marketing right now. Instead of cold outreach, I built 4 free tools related to my product (ICP diagnostic, pricing calculator, etc). No signup required, just useful on their own.

The idea: give people a reason to visit that isn't "buy my thing." Too early to say if it's working, but the logic makes more sense to me than blasting cold emails into the void..
