Bootstrapped Learnings

And now for the obligatory SEO keyword stuffing: build in public, SaaS Startup, Zero to One, Indiehacking.

In this episode, I chat about the progress we made last week, including getting the demo call recording done for CallNotesCRM and hitting up interested prospects (though no bites yet). We also talk about the challenge of building a usable database from GoHighLevel’s feedback section and my plan to systematize the research process to make it more efficient.

We’ve set a launch date for September 1st, so we’re working backward from there, and this week’s goals include updating the website with product images and a demo, adding 100 people to Apollo sequences, and creating solid prompts for analyzing calls in the product.

I also share some wins, like getting three signups from posting our website in GoHighLevel forums. Lots on the plate, but all fun stuff. Let’s get after it!

Build in public, GoHighLevel, startup, zero to one - okay, that keyword stuffing aside:

Hey there, welcome back.

In this episode, I update you on our progress from last week. We had five main tasks:

I didn't get the mock call recorded but plan to do it this week. However, we generated interest from three people through cold email, although those conversations didn't progress due to them not watching the pre-recorded demos.

I also discuss the unique aspects of GoHighLevel, especially its referral program and how it compares to HubSpot. The outreach success came from using GoHighLevel’s feedback section, and I'll continue leveraging this resource.

For this week, my focus is on:

Let's dive into the details and keep pushing forward.

Just out of curiosity, what happens to impressions from search if I copy and paste in the lyrics from rollin by limp bizkit into this? Let's find out together :)

And are you ready for some needless keyword stuffing? Join us as we delve into AI in sales, sales automation, sales efficiency, and utilizing HubSpot to streamline our processes.

Recap last week’s progress and outline upcoming tasks as we build in public for CallNotesCRM. This week, I aim to hire the Hubspot expert, add three tales to the subreddit, and create personalized emails for 100 business owners using HubSpot. Additionally, I'll send 25 LinkedIn invites for podcast guests, purchase two domains for email warming, and create a competitor sheet for CallNotesCRM.

Jordan’s development progress has been a huge gust in the sails. Come join the pirate ship, gang. We're sharing every step of developing our startup idea and navigating the challenges of going 0-1.

In this episode, I recap last week's progress and lay out new tasks. The CallNotesCRM website will transition from Carrd to Framer, and I'll post two SEO articles. I plan to record the first episode of the Sales Efficiency podcast, schedule ten posts for the "Tales from Sales" subreddit, and promote CallNotesCRM on SMB and HubSpot subreddits. I'll also post a job on UpWork to consult with HubSpot experts. My goal is to focus on automating sales update notes for businesses, especially those lacking sales operations processes.

Quick one this week, laddies. Recap last week's tasks and their progress, including moving the CallNotesCRM site, creating branding materials, exploring Reddit communities, and completing tasks for the Sales Efficiency podcast and SEO articles.

The Reddit sub community is the current fascination.

In this episode, I recap last week's tasks, including sending cold outreach notes, creating a new podcast for CallNotesCRM, and brainstorming a list of people I aspire to meet.

Not to spoil the plot, but I didn't finish all the to-dos. Plz don't hate me. But got some more data to inspire future plans to improve. Upcoming goals include moving the CallNotesCRM site off Carrd, create brand materials, exploring a Reddit community for sales stories, and drafting solo podcast episodes for the other pod.

I'm interested in content and communities atm. Keen to leverage these for distribution.
