Got my first 10 customers
by Steve McLeodWhen I acquired Saber Feedback in April 2000 it had about 50 customers. Since then, I’ve had trouble getting new customers. For the first nine months after acquisition I only managed to sign up three new customers.
However in the last two months, my focus on marketing has started to pay off. I got 4 new customers in January and 3 new customers in February.
This gives a total of 10 new paying customers in 11 months. Best of all is that the pace seems to be picking up.
My aim now is to get the next 10 customers quicker. Let’s see if I can do it in just a few months.

Primarily SEO, but also I added a new onboarding email sequence.
The SEO has started delivering results, but it is a long, slow process for it start working. So many months...

Nice! Well done :)
Can you elaborate a bit on what you did on seo?-

That's a tough one! I don't think I can adequately summarise in a comment on what we did for SEO.
It has become a focus, where I dedicate time every week to learn a bit more about SEO and to either write new content or improve our existing content accordingly. Rinse and repeat for almost a year!

Awesome, congrats! Out of curiosity, how do you have 4K in revenue/month with 10 customers with your current pricing?

Oops, yes, April 2020. Otherwise it would be a remarkable story of persistence!
