How We Took Our Pre-Sales Tool from Idea to $2500 MRR in Just 4 Months with Zero Cost

Every big idea starts small rather in my case it starts as just a wish. Ours began during a lunch break when one of my team members came running that a lead was looking to build an Uber-like app for a small country in Africa and needed a ballpark very soon.

I jokingly mentioned the idea, and moolah, the idea for an automated estimator emerged and soon became a reality. While it was just a solution to streamline our internal workflows and impact, soon, we decided to test the markets and deliver it for the industry.

All about doing.

We decided to build an Automated Cost Estimator
The idea was simple, use our and the market data to identify the best ways to estimate the costs and reduce the time-consuming process of project scoping.
When we dig deep into the concept we felt the proposal automation was a bigger challenge and this needs to be taken care into account when we are looking to solve the large challenge for the agencies.
These two features laid the groundwork for CostGPT Pro, setting the stage for a smarter, faster approach to pre-sales.

Later did we realise the impact it can have and ProGenie enters the scene.
We had a junior member joining our sales team and we unknowingly shared the product. She researched and came back to us, and I went through all the proposals you have but would have been great if there was a bot which could answer the questions I was looking answer for.

Thus, ProGenie, our AI-powered pre-sales assistant, became the heart of CostGPT Pro. ProGenie isn’t just a tool—it’s like having a 24/7 sales engineer on your team.

Beta Launch
We are firm believers of doing more and thinking a little less. So we did plan our launch and with the product in beta, we officially launched on Product Hunt,
We got over 5000 visits and 1000 signups and today we have paying customers too.
CostGPT struck a chord with its users, we feel.
While it's just our first la, the transition from an idea to a product generates consistent revenue.
This is just the beginning. With an expanding user base and plans to enhance AI capabilities, we aim to redefine the pre-sales process for software agencies.
