Insights after reaching $500 MRR in 3 months - how to reach out

We officially launched Sponsy for the public in May, today we landed another sale which increased Sponsy MRR to $500.

Here's one key thing we learned.

Rather than being salesly, make questions

I always make questions when contacting leads without even nominating Sponsy.
Study the lead and make a useful question, for example why he's not doing something you would consider obvious. The more specific is your question the better it is.

The outcome may vary:

• it goes very bad -> no reply, don't get it personally and try a follow up in a week or so
• it goes bad -> you will learn something new
• it goes well -> you opened the conversation to understand if you product is valuable
• it goes very well -> the lead already checked what you're doing and it will ask directly for your product

Any other tip? Would love to hear it 👇
