2 guys created a $600,000 ARR SaaS company without ever meeting in person.

Here’s how it happened:
When @mynameis_davis met Vishal Kumar on Indie Hackers, he didn’t expect to co-found an award-winning social media scheduler and make a friend for life.

But that’s exactly what happened...
Davis and Vishal were a 17-hour flight away - but that didn’t matter.

Davis, a finance grad, used his marketing skills while Vishal, an engineer, built the MVP.

An ex-lawyers turned software engineer built a $1m+ Shopify SaaS business with no outside investment.

Here’s how he did it:
Gavin Ballard was done with the 60+ hour work weeks, so he left them behind to code full-time.

He founded @DiscoLabs, which eventually became a 7-figure income stream.

Disco Labs began as a digital agency but added a product development component as it grew.
How did he do it? Detailed observation.

He freelanced his way up the Shopify food chain and took note of every engineering request.

When the work poured in, he hired help. @DiscoLabs was born.

There's 1000s of bootstrapped startups building really profitable businesses and that's amazing. Major media shouldn't be reserved for VC backed startups.

Here's how I'd fix your sales process...

1. Talk to every customer you have and understand the pain you solved for them

2. Convert all of your copy & messaging towards pain. Sell solutions to problems, not software

3. Create a contact list of a specific customer persona

1/
4. Hire some dude on Fiverr for sales collateral

5. Ask customers to write a review online. Every Googles this stuff

6. Would run a large cold outbound email campaign to drive leads if there are none

7. Listen more than you talk, find the pain, then prescribe like a doctor

2/
Then once the sales process seems repeatable I'd shift gears towards marketing (ideally this should come first).

Good read here with a company I helped with their sales process. mailshake.com/blog/drive-rev…
