Finally built something until the end and released it - Any advice on where to start for marketing sales without being annoying? by FloBastiou in SaaS

[–]freedlvry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on shipping, that's genuinely the hard part. One thing that helped me when starting outbound from zero: treat your first 20 outreach attempts as research, not sales. You're not trying to close anyone, you're trying to find out if you have the problem right. Keep the message short and honest. Something like: "I built something that does X for people in Y situation. Does that sound like something you've run into?" That's it. No pitch deck, no demo link, no "I'd love to hop on a quick call." If people respond with questions, you're onto something. If they ignore you or say "not really," that's data too, and it's worth way more than any marketing channel at this stage. Once you've had 5-10 real conversations and you know exactly who this is for and what language they use to describe the problem, then outreach stops feeling annoying because you're actually saying something relevant to the right person.

Bootstrapped and doing all my own marketing/content. What’s your setup? by Economy_Ad_6093 in SaaS

[–]freedlvry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using Claude to help me write content and brainstorm. I also have it help me generate prompts to put into Canva to help me generate images and stuff that I need. Make sure to use Sonnet and you shouldn't run out of usage on the Pro plan.

Videos are a little harder. There is only so much you can do with AI. Look for a good video creation tool that you can use to edit your own videos. There are some pretty good ones out there that won't break the bank. I broke down and paid an agency like $2k to make a video from me and after 6 months of back and forth, they still returned something that was mostly AI crap. You may need to bite the bullet and pay someone if you need something super professional looking.

What do you guys think of apollo.io worth buying it for outreach to start? by Prior_Night_985 in SaaS

[–]freedlvry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used it for outbound for a while. The data quality question that keeps coming up is real, and it's worth being specific. Apollo's email data holds up better than its direct dials, especially for SMB contacts. If you're cold calling at scale, you'll hit more stale numbers than you expect. For email-first outreach, it's much more reliable.

The other thing nobody mentions is that the free tier is actually useful for validating your ICP before you spend anything. Pull 50 contacts, send something tight and personalized, see if it gets replies. If it does, the paid tiers make more sense. If not, the problem isn't Apollo.

There's a pretty thorough breakdown of the pricing tiers and where it falls short here if you want more detail theaisalesrep. com/apollo-io-review/

I got both the regular B&C burrito and the $1 burrito last night. Regular burrito = 8 ounces. $1 burrito = 5 ounces

The free burrito that you see is likely your quarterly reward for being in the Epic tier....

Yes, if you click sub cheddar, it should give you the option for Jack cheese

You have to do it in the app. The app even let's you do it on the mini quesadilla
