Three months ago, I started with reaching out to a version of the "Ideal" Customer Persona I had prepared based on the 80+ clients Flexiple had.
The first couple of months did not give any results, though, I did refine my definition of the Ideal Customer Persona, the Cold Email Sequence I was using, as well as figured a way to prioritize leads so that my email personalization efforts bore more fruit.
Today, after 3 months of effort, we finally began working on a 4-months long contract project with a US-based Indiehacker who is building his product on the side and had been searching for a ReactJS expert for 7 weeks or so!
Very excited now for the coming 2 months, I plan to double down on my cold email outreach targets and decrease the # of angry replies received (5.25% of all replies).
