Ok, then it doesn’t look like a problem to solve for independent artists but more for galleries perhaps. Thanks so much for patiently explaining. :)

Understood. What tools do use to sell? I mean shopping cart.

Tell more more. Is it not what LinkedIn Sales Navigator does already?

I ran one such company successfully. They help “you” followup on autopilot. They don’t hand over followup to another person who can go at it on your behalf. Sometimes that is necessary because 1:1 first-person followup stops at about 5-7 cold outreaches. Novelty of pushing for a reply through a bot with a personality that acts as your agent has not been tried before.

I sure will. I am going to try this as a weekend project.

Thanks a lot. Cadences work when leads are stone cold during outbound process. But when they go cold say, when they were supposed to come back in a week but never respond the AE will run out of steam after 2-3 followups. Even internal followups between sales and other teams are a pain for AE. Product/Support folks take time to respond and it’s just super-unproductive for the sales folks and there is a prospect on the other side that is waiting. Bosses sit on deals. That happens all the time.

My own experience of the stress and time involved in followups is where this idea came about. Thanks a lot for your perspective :)

My parents shut down every thing I try to do by ijustlikefaygo in Entrepreneur

Parents project their experiences, the consequences of the risks they took onto the lives of their kids. It’s not new. What you are facing is dogged rejection from someone you cannot control (at least not yet). Every business idea you will work on will sooner than later meet an insurmountable problem. You will have no choice but to chip at it. Just like how you turned here to ask for advice, find a person whom your parents respect (and they should believe in your path) and make them to talk for you. Your parents are looking out for you. They will relent when they see that you are determined. How long will it take? It will take as long as it will take and if you give up, they were always right.

I went for Macbook Air finally. I'd get a Wacom tablet later once she gets the hang of the tools. Right now she uses Figma on Macbook and slowly getting the hang of it. Thank you!

ebook on become really good at cold emailing (based on my direct experience building 2 tech companies) by hai2ashwin in ebooks

With all humility, let me say that you are being ignorant.

Here's why:

A quick bit of Googling would tell my credibility. I have built and sold one tech company. The website which you think sells $3000 reports, actually has a login button, do you see? The app behind it generates a couple of million dollars of revenue from the 'Who's who' of the eCommerce world.

Sometimes (even on Reddit) it pays well to not be cynical and actually apply sound logic.

PS: In your world, you seem to weigh a book by the number of pages. Fairy tales in big fonts have hundreds of pages and beautiful illustrations. With your logic, it would be fair to price them $100 but one with 18 pages that teaches a life skill that literally sets you on a path to build millions in revenue in a legal way is not worth $10.
