  2. Offer the first 3 a free trial or a “founding” price in exchange for honest feedback and a testimonial.
  3. Post your demo and the first result on the channels above, every day for 2 weeks.
  4. Ask every happy customer for one introduction. Repeat until you have 10.

  • Ask for a testimonial with the time saved.
  • Partner with an accountant who needs help with small clients.
