"You might be one cold email away from closing a 5,000$ client "...so inspiring! Thank you Marc!!! ❤ I really liked that customer pipeline a lot. Can you share the template? How did you handle the tax aspect? Did you immediately open a company with zero clients, or did you wait until you were more established? What advice would you give regarding this? Thank you for let us to dream 😅
Thanks Guiseppe! The pipeline has 4 stages (each stage is 1 cold email) If reply it goes to > warm leads If no reply > quit I was under a solopreneur-like french tax setup (24% tax on revenue) My advice: if you go all in, set up your company properly because it's a pain to change later
I love that you focused in on such an incredibly niche market and were able to make a solid living from it. It's inspiring that a tiny, focused product like this can make things work for a single person. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for being so honest and down to earth, I’ve been in the start up business for 15 years but your videos are incredibly refreshing to watch, super useful and life inspiring Merci 🥰
You’ve inspired me to get coding again. I last touched python in about 2003. This week I’ve finished coursecademy’s introduction to JavaScript. Next step to complete there full stack engineer career path. After which I will build something similar to your visualise habits web app hopefully
Great! Learning is always good for self improving but unfortunately for SaaS business the tech stack is not the most important part. The audience to serve and what your product solve in that niche is the spine of it
Great video Marc, very inspiring. I've seen on LinkedIn that the last customer just churned. One question : since you knew you weren't going to take over the business, why didn't you try to sell it when the MRR was still OK?
Hi Marc, I just found your channel today, and it's was tricky to seek software engineer channel which talks about business part. Subscribed and I'm currently working on my own apps. Indonesian btw, if you visit Bali again, maybe we can have a time to say Hi!
I am not clear how you were able to convince your initial escape room clients to buy your software when it didn't even exist yet. Were you open with them and let them know it would take time to deliver? Did you collect money up front before having your product ready or did you just get them to promise to pay once you were ready?
I really appreciate the realness, especially where you note that you were depressed and you abandoned a business. This kind of thing is natural but few talk of it
The interesting thing here and in all the products is that you keep your monthly pricing really high. Shipfast is 199 one time. What do you think has been the difference between the monthly subscription model and the one time payment model? What I am learning is to not price myself at the $4 / month style which startups with a lot of funds backing them do.
I am curious, after you come back from your depression, why did you not restart this business? Don't you think you have a gold mine to explore with this?
Tu peux le faire en B2B aussi ? Mon interrogation c'est de savoir si le fait d'être en nocode te limite en termes de puissance requise pour vendre ta solution à plusieurs milliers d'utilisateurs. Ou alors faudra-t-il faire évoluer la solution avec du code ?
Très bonne vidéo, c'est rare que je commente mais celle-ci a répondu à beaucoup de mes questions à propos du SaaS tout ça avec une très bonne élucution / storytelling / authenticité. Merveilleux !
I love your videos, please don't put subtitles on though, I find it so distracting, you can always turn them on, just don't include them by default, thank you!
@@marc-lou thanks,does it still "the best" for getting customer or are there any better approach for getting customers, (for small bussines, ofcurse i can't pay for ads , atleast for now :()
that's very inspiring Marc! How were you able to learn to code so quckly and deliver the MVP after getting your first deal? Did you outsource to other devs?
Hi Marc , Thank you for sharing for your story and providing motivation . I felt like I have been lost but now i will get back to my ideas. Thanks alot
