Episode notes
Start By Solving Your Own Problem
- Solve a real problem yourself, document how you solved it, then help others for free to validate your offer.
- Race to your first dollar with a low, irresistible MVP price and iterate using customer feedback.
Validate With Free Work Then Charge
- Give away help for free multiple times until you can demonstrate repeatable results for others.
- Then launch an irresistible low-priced MVP, collect testimonials, and raise prices as conversions stay strong.
Use Conversion To Set Price
- Price until you convert roughly 30% of sales calls; if conversion is higher, raise prices aggressively.
- Treat conversion rates as a pricing signal and focus on improving sales to hit that sweet spot.
