To point out the top 4:
– PR
– Mass Email Marketing

– Facebook Ads and interactions
What are the 2-3 main distribution channels that work best for you? What channel didn’t work out for you?
The main distribution channels that worked for us will be:
– Email Marketing
– Affiliate, and
– Facebook
Kita nyoba akeh barang, lan nalika dakkandhakake akeh tegese kita nyoba meh atusan perkara supaya bisa menyang pasar. Akeh saluran sing ora bisa digunakake kanggo kita, nanging aku yakin kabeh prekara bakal bisa diolah yen dioptimalake kanthi bener.
Kandhani 2-3 tantangan pertumbuhan sing sampeyan alami bubar (lan yen sampeyan duwe strategi carane ngatasi.)
Tantangan Wutah, umm, akeh! Sawetara wong bakal -
1. Email lan Domain ditandhani minangka spam - Pungkasane, kita ngatasi iki kanthi ngirim ewu email khusus lan nyuda volume email dadi 20.000 email / wulan.
2. PR larang banget - Kita ora bisa nemokake solusi kanggo ngrampungake, nanging kita bakal mesthi ana ing panggung, agensi pengin nulis babagan kita.
3. Time – While we had 10s of 1000s of ideas to pursue, we only have limited bandwidth when it comes to time, but we were able to achieve good results acquiring our first 4,000 users in about 3 months.
We’ll definitely expand our team and I’m sure we’ll be able to over come this problem.
Sawetara tugas ora pantes ditindakake ing omah. Apa sing sampeyan outsource?
Content and Scraping web.
What are the 3 tools you and your team can’t live without?
MailShake – To send out sales emails.
Zapier – To automate stuff.
Alexa – To analyze our prospects website.
Tell us the biggest mistake you had through building and promoting your product and what you’ve learned from it.
While promoting our product we ran a lot of email marketing campaigns, which led to our emails being landing into Spam. After days and nights of finding the right way, we finally cracked a way to get our emails landing to Inbox, with heavy personalization.
Sinau: Gmail pancen papan raksasa kanthi entri paling cilik, sampeyan kudu pinter ngatasi.
If you had to start Leadworx today, what would you do differently?
I think it would be little early to answer this properly considering we have just started (launched beta 2.5 months back). But in our short life span, if I was starting up again, I would get the word out sooner. We waited till we had a working product before we told anyone about it. It was like one day there was no product and the next day there was!
Dadi aku bisa uga nggawe sawetara buzz (ora preduli sepele) kanggo ngandhani calon pangguna manawa kedadeyan kaya mengkene bakal teka
Ngendi sampeyan ndeleng Leadworx sajrone 5 taun wiwit saiki?
Tujuane yaiku ngatasi tantangan pemasaran B2B. Domain iki wis ora pantes dilawani selawase. Leadworx minangka langkah kaping pisanan ing arah sing nggawe teknologi kanggo nuduhake perusahaan sing ndeleng sampeyan (sampeyan bisa ngarani GA kanggo B2B). Nalika maju, kita bakal nambah luwih akeh penawaran supaya pangguna bisa nindakake pemasaran kanthi efektif.
Dadi, takon babagan ngendi kita bakal weruh taun kepungkur, lan kita isih ora bakal duwe wangsulan sing bener. Misi kita gampang, kita pengin dadi kaya WordPress ing CMS utawa Slack ing komunikasi.
