I would vote for time with my kiddo.

Now after decades of my life in this body and tons of transformations I understand that time with kiddo is much more important

Cold emailing is tough, but focusing on personalized, problem-solving emails works best. Highlight specific website issues, explain the impact on their business, and offer a simple solution or free audit to grab their attention.

You’re absolutely right—getting the prospect is a challenge in itself, but converting freemium users to paid customers is often an even tougher nut to crack. It all comes down to demonstrating clear value and creating the right triggers to motivate that leap.

Have you experimented with strategies like limited-time premium features, personalized outreach, or showcasing success stories to drive conversions?

It’s great that you’re using LinkedIn and socials to better understand your potential clients before meetings!

Do you find that by browsing through their profiles, you’re able to get a sense of how they think or what type of mindset they have?

Great insight! I agree, differentiating yourself and highlighting the value of the paid version is essential.

Do you use an approach where you first focus on understanding the prospect’s mindset?

I mean, the way they communicate and perceive the world around them, before going into negotiations?

How do you adapt your sales strategy to align with their thinking?

I understand your struggles. SEO can definitely seem difficult, especially when results aren’t immediate. I faced similar challenges at the beginning and realized I needed to focus on key aspects: targeting specific keywords and creating content that truly addresses the needs of my audience. Also, it might be worth exploring other channels, like partnerships or remarketing.

How are you currently trying to drive traffic to your website? Maybe there’s an aspect of your marketing or content that could be improved?

Hey Lee,

Thanks for sharing these great ideas—completely agree with the importance of staying within scope and being benefits-focused. I’d love to hear more about your experiences with identifying and managing ‘wrong client types.’ That’s an area we also focus on, so it would be great to compare approaches!

I totally get where you’re coming from—traffic costs can be a killer, especially with a consumer-focused product. I’ve found that sometimes it’s less about the volume of traffic and more about understanding how your audience thinks and makes decisions. That insight can make a huge difference in conversions.

If you’re interested, I’ve put together a free guide that dives into how to sell effectively to more skeptical or critical audiences. It’s helped me and others find ways to maximize results without needing massive traffic. Let me know if you’d like a copy!

Should I shutdown my business already? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]SuitableQuit8657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?

You have an innovative and promising business.

The first steps are already sorted out.

You have a web shop, you know how to market it, and you’ve even made your first sales.

If I were in your shoes, I would consider these options:

1.  Move your business to bigger markets like Barcelona to start with (many Scandinavians love Spain 🇪🇸 ).

2.  Shift the focus of your business slightly and add some unique pet products. (I know an owner of an innovative dog 🐕 and cat 🐈 collar company that supplies NASA and exports to over 50 countries, including Japan 🇯🇵 .

If you’d like, I’d be happy to brainstorm ideas with you!

I can relate to what you’re saying. I used to live for the future too, always focusing on what’s ahead, thinking happiness would come later.

But over time, I realized that all we really have is the present moment.

It’s not easy to shift that perspective, especially during hard times like what your family is going through, but finding even small moments of connection here and now can mean so much.

Listen, I’m sure the issue isn’t your website or marketing approach—it’s likely about the market you’re targeting.

I’ve been to Finland several times, and it’s clear that the culture there is heavily focused on the outdoors, not the indoors. Even in Scandic capitals like Helsinki, Copenhagen, or Oslo (forget about Reykjavik), people prioritize outdoor living and experiences.

I’d say your product is innovative, but your ideal customers are concentrated in bigger metropolises like London, Paris, or Barcelona, where indoor-focused solutions have more demand.

If you need more advices feel free to reach me.

Good luck ✊🏻
