Tips for Talking to NEW potential customers (cold-calls, cold-emails, etc)? How did this end up going? I'm in a similar position with my business. |

The line between being a persistent salesperson and being a pest Thanks for the feedback. That's really helpful. To clarify, I'm looking for people who can help me understand their business needs, plus look at my software (in the form of a formal usability test) to make sure it meets their needs.

How do you give value to your customers when you're not an expert in their field? That seems like good advice. I'm an expert in computers and software development. My product (ostensibly) makes salons more profitable by making it easier for clients to book appointments and by decreasing the amount of time spent on managing appointments and inventory. Giving salon owners "tech tips" as a way of adding value (because, remember, I'm trying to add value first, separately from my product) is tricky because salon owners/stylists seem to be so not-tech-savvy. Perhaps I'll just have to think harder. |

Advice for a young startup You're right. That is a lot. But as of 2005, there were 400,000 salons in the US. If I can do math better than last time, I'm only hoping to capture 0.005% of the market with 200 customers, and I'm not naive enough to think that can be done in 2 months. I'm willing to work for years to get to that point. Having said that, the price is not set in stone and perhaps we'll go with a higher rate. |
