Hi Makers! This thread is dedicated to you if you are: (1) launching soon or recently launched (2) looking for beta users (3) asking for feedback on a landing page First, start by helping out another maker. You can check out their launch, give their product a review or share a comment on their launch post. Once you've helped someone else out, share your product link here and BE SPECIFIC about who your target audience is and how we can help.

The lessons I learned: - I should have broken down workload (by utilizing tools like Jira), instead of working 20 hours a day random tasks (eventually making mistakes). - I should have prioritized tasks differently from multiple founder startups. As solo founders, we think we can multitask sales/marketing/development (we can't). - I should have tested my idea with friends and colleagues before spending a year developing my MVP without customer input or interest (eventually pivoted). - I shouldn t have used paid acquisition to get my initial users (unless every other channel failed). - I should have gathered a following for my startup, before launching (it is overwhelming developing a product and having no one interested). What experiences did you have? (We may I still be making the mistakes you experienced)

I personally don't know any business that hasn't been affected. Many are struggling to make ends meet because of significant sales downturn. Sadly, that is the reality we have to live in. How are you holding on? What measures did you take to boost your sales? For example, there's a bunch of adjustments to our sales strategy we've made at Reply, including: - Changing our sales communications to address the challenges our prospects are currently facing. Namely, we ve updated our value proposition to offer a perfect solution for online sales engagement (that works great for remote teams thanks for collaboration features). - Building and nurturing relationships with the prospects rather than aggressively selling. Right now we're more focused on creating and sharing useful content aimed to help our prospects fight typical problems related to crisis (both sales and business in general). - Adding new products to offer extra value to the prospects. For example, we ve just launched our new unlimited email search tool https://www.producthunt.com/post... to help businesses fight the sales downturn. As for the latter, I'm proud to say that it's by far the best email finder tool out there with up to 95% accuracy rate! Also, in an effort to help fellow sales teams out there struggling to keep your sales up in these trying times, we're giving this tool away for free I'd love to hear what you're up to - share your tactics and hacks to drive sales despite the crisis
