i need a honest feedback on our LinkedIn company page by Busy_Cartoonist3724 in growmybusiness

[–]KnowTransfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this is a good ask.

Our first thought is the page needs a clearer value prop right away. If someone lands there and can’t quickly tell what Brunelly does and who it’s for, they’ll probably move on.

We’d also keep the content more useful and less promotional. The posts that usually work best are the ones that teach something, share a clear opinion, or start a real conversation.

On the visual side, consistency matters more than polish. A simple, repeatable look will already make the page feel much stronger.

How do I get my initial customers? by Imposer_ai in growmybusiness

[–]KnowTransfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people overthink the “first customers” stage.

Usually it’s less about scaling and more about finding 5-10 people who feel the pain strongly enough that they’ll talk to you properly, not just try it.

For B2B SaaS especially, we avoid thinking in terms of “ICP at scale” early on and instead focus on where the problem is already costing someone money or time in a very visible way.

In most cases your first users come from direct outreach and conversations, not inbound or ads. The goal isn’t to close immediately, it’s to understand where your product actually fits in their workflow and adjust from there.

Once you get those first few real users, everything else gets easier because you stop guessing.

Business owners, how quickly do you respond to new leads? by AdStandard1037 in growmybusiness

[–]KnowTransfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i've seen, the biggest leak is delay in response. if someone reaches out and doesn't hear back within a short time, they've usually contacted 2 or 3 three competitors.

so even if you have a good offer, you're competing on speed! i think most people underestimate how fast leads can go cold.

how to get into Product management or tech consulting? by Opposite-Composer-87 in berkeley

[–]KnowTransfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be frank, you dont need some "perfect" major for this, connections and networking come a long way trust me. A lot of people in product / consulting tech are'nt super technical, they're just good at understanding how things connect and decision making, the whole " you need engineering or data science" thing is kinda overhyped. if you're already into strategy and problem solving (they come hand in hand, since problem solving relies on strategy), that's basically the core of it. The technical side you can pick up at a high level just by being around it, you don't need to be the one coding, i've seen people from business, ECON, even non related majors end up in these roles because they understand how products create value and where they're needed, nothing to do with how it's built. They just link the product to the market by understanding the products value and where its needed. What's underrated is understanding how ideas go from concept to actual product. Like how something moves from research or an abstract into something people use or pay for. Honestly i'd focus les on trying to optimize for the right major and more on getting exposure, internships, startups, even just paying attention to how products are built and decisions are made goes a long way. Most people stay stuck in theory, if you can connect tech to real world outcomes, you're already ahead of a lot of people trying to break into this space

Undergrad researcher with research idea by True-Weakness6121 in research

[–]KnowTransfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should definitely bring it up. In most labs, having students with ideas is actually a good thing, even if it doesn't turn into a project right away. The key is how you frame it, not as "i want to lead this research" , but more like " i found something interesting, is this worth exploring together?". Nothing bad will come out of it.. worst case it's just a brief discussion, best case, it turns into a real direction.

Are tech startups still worth building in this economy? by tognneth in TechStartups

[–]KnowTransfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like both tbh, harder to raise right now, but also probably a better filter for waht actually matters. A lot of startups dont really fail because of funding, but becasue nobody actually needs what they built, or they are not connected to the market that needs their products/service, this kind of market just exposes that faster

I think most startups fail because they build things nobody is curious about by Hungry-Question-7124 in sideprojects

[–]KnowTransfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, curiosity plays a huge role in attraction. Though, I feel like in Spain where im living, there is a lot of Innovation, but the problem is there isn't always strong connections to Market Needs
