#buildinpublic Ok, so it's time to prepare the launch of a new business. In Sweden. Not a SaaS. With limited💰 Trying to compete with two international Giants..
My domain is now warmed up and shows good deliverability scores. Just prepared 2000+ leads and will now resume my outreach aiming to book at least a few demos a week. Wish me luck ;)
Still warming up my email adress, so only sending a few emails per day. So far the result I get with Lemlist quite similar to my bulk emails from FreshSales, except that my reply rate is 2x higher..
Need to pause the cold outreach and prepare the production environment. Until now, I've been invited them to my test environment in a true mvp manner 🤣
Also realised that a few features are missing before customers will find this worth paying for in the long run #buildinpublic
Trying to launch a SaaS from scratch without a proven market is an emotional 🎢 After a demo: "this has potential!" When emails are not replied: "how could this possible succeed?"
This week I've been scheduling a dosen of cold emails per day to my different target groups: Open rate: 68% Reply rate: 20% Interrested: 11% Thanks but no thanks: 9%
Won't put effort measuring this more granular at this stage. 1st things 1st
The "core engine" (built on Twilio) is now taking form. If it wasn't for the long "vacation shutdown" in Sweden every summer we should be ready to take on some early access customers soon.. #buildinpublic
