About the event
Finding your first customers can feel daunting, especially when you have a limited marketing budget, little marketing expertise, and a long list of things competing for your attention. In this session with Kira Kelsie, Founder of Kasm Consulting, we’ll break down what early-stage founders actually need to focus on to start building traction, where to invest limited time and resources, and what can wait until later.
You’ll walk away with a better understanding of:
Where to focus your marketing efforts when time, money, and expertise are limited, and which activities are most likely to move the needle early on.
How to find and reach your first 100 customers using practical, low-cost approaches to start conversations, test assumptions, and build traction.
What not to focus on yet, including marketing activities, channels, and metrics that can become distractions before you have a repeatable way to acquire customers.
