Ask HN: How did you get past $10K MRR?

3 pointsby scollinsover 6 years ago
Hi HN,<p>I started a SaaS company 3 years ago with no prior knowledge in sales or marketing. Got first few customers from existing network and facebook. Since then my co-founder and I kept repeating same process for new customers, without focusing on 1 channel.<p>Now we are at steady $10K MRR with a product people love, healthy margins and low burn rate, but don&#x27;t have a repeatable customer acquisition process yet. Finding new customers on facebook &#x2F; cold email &#x2F; adwords is painfully slow, because current customer base is diverse enough to detect any pattern or build a profile. (Ranging from $10 customers to $1500&#x2F;mo customers)<p>Has anyone been in this situation before? How did you pick a segment and kickstart growth?

0. ask for referrals from current customers.<p>1. take your three largest companies and make list similar companies and call on them.<p>2. Content marketing around the problem your solving. what problem are you solving at a high level.(content funnel)<p>3. pivot - find other adjacent problems your current customers are having and create a product around that.
