Every other day, “How do I get my first sale?”, comments are always the same too… If you do a search you’ll find hundreds of them. Let me try help

I will simply answer on surface level first, to get your first customer you have to talk to people. “What do I do when I talk to people”… you sell your product and get your first sale. It’s so simple that it sounds idiotic, but the harsh truth is if that isn’t clear as day to you it never will be, which means if this isn’t clear then entrepreneurship isn’t for you and you will fail.

You don’t wait for customers, you GO get customers. Every sales book, every sales video summed up in the above paragraph.

Now I know for a fact only a portion of this subreddit will understand above and laugh, because everything we do in life is about selling, and those people who understand I guarantee already have successful businesses. The rest are missing some key piece of information that makes above understandable. I’ll tell you exactly what is stopping you, and without beating around the bush. Experience and seeing a successful sale being done first hand is something you don’t have and its the biggest thing stopping you from becoming an entrepreneur. If life was a video game you would have 0 EXP in selling. Now for the solution, and it involves work.

Get a sales job, learn everything you can. THEN become an entrepreneur. (commission sales are so readily available, you can find one in a week) Look, some people are naturally born with it. You are not, but I promise I say this with a good heart. You need to see a sale, and you will succeed. I believe in you.

    Hey, I want to add on the product I listed above, our main business is developing sales processes for already developed businesses. The offering in the link provided is designed for small startups looking to gain valuable insights and experience to kickstart their operations. There is one aspect to the process we employ for providing that service, which we’re in the middle of turning it into a platform by adding a dashboard - it helps us a lot and is the reason we’re able to provide this at the price listed.

    I think it could help you in your case, where your business is not starting out nor employs a hierarchy where it would be valuable to pay someone based on contract rather than hire for a managerial sales role to set up sales processes.

    Do you want me to maybe message you next week once the platform is ready?
