looking for feedback on the way to build out a Commision only sales development team. preferred commission only type roles. feedback and input appreciated

Hi guys. I've self published a colouring book on Amazon. Any suggestions how to increase sales are highly appreciated. You can check my landing page here

What I tried already :

- Amazon ads, it generated some sales but not enough to pay for ads

What I am still planning to do:

- Building audience on social media. My plan is to publish daily "fun fact" about wine. Considering Instagram/Threads/Twitter

- Content marketing, building blog about wine though I am less inclined to do it.

Hi, I've recently made a web app that allows medical students to verse each other and compete to see who can get the most questions right.

I've never really done anything like this before so I'm a bit lost on the business side of it and was hoping someone who knows a bit more than me would be able to provide me with some feedback.

Here's the link

I've managed to get some users from various subreddits but they don't seem to come back, I'd really appreciate any criticism/feedback, thank you.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for sourcing coffee that will be sent to customers with my logo like Dripshipper? I was looking at dripshippers prices:

$30 a month fee + $13-14 per bag for a 12 oz bag

If you sell at a $5 markup for profit, that doesn't seem worthy of buying a bag at all. $19 for 12 oz's is a hard sell. Not to mention you would need to 6 bags a month just to break even and that is not even counting shopify fees. This has brought me back to the drawing board to get my coffee business off the ground.

I am free on this weekend so thought of sharing my insights, ask me anything will share my openions.

What is your approach on marketing and bringing more traffic to your product?
I'm a solopreneur running a video creation tool called cliptalk.pro that uses AI to turn ideas into short videos like those videos you see on tiktok and youtube shorts, Since last month I got it up to $500/month by publishing it's own generated videos on youtube where most of my customers are coming from, but I'm not sure what is the best way to bring more traffic and customers in other than relying videos shorts?

Anyone here have tried something similar? I'd love to hear.

hey everyone, i’m diving into starting a digital marketing agency focused on health insurance. i’ve worked with many startups and seen some wild stuff—like one founder who blew all their budget on flashy ads with zero strategy and crashed and burned in months. i'm seriously paranoid about ending up the same way.

so far, i’m leveraging all the free resources i can find, like Y Combinator's Startup School and Reddit communities. got my website, content, and social media up and running. what’s next? any tips on scaling, getting clients, or avoiding common pitfalls? would love to hear your thoughts. thanks!

Hi everyone!

I have builded many sites and tried to learn everything I can about SEO. Here in the Europe it's much easier to rank and build organic traffic to sites as foreign languages are far more easier than english. So publishing this idea will be much easier, when I consider myself good in SEO.

I read Twitter daily and see all the time people coming up with startup ideas they don't have time to pursue. Most of the times they are good ideas which will never be tested. They give them away, so someone could maybe get idea from them and build something related.

In the other hand, I see people struggling with business ideas and validating the ideas they have.

I was thinking about creating little side project website, where people could post their startup ideas and people can give their thoughts and vote the ideas. Leaderboards about accounts with most upvotes, with most ideas etc..

It would bring together the people with ideas which will never see the light of the day and people how in the other hand struggle with ideas.

So the site would solely be focused on startup company ideas, validating them, changing thoughts with one and another etc..

Thoughts about this?

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about sustainability in fitness lately, particularly when it comes to workout clothing. With the rise of eco-friendly products, I wonder if a workout clothing rental service might be a good idea to help reduce waste and costs for fitness enthusiasts.

I'm curious about your thoughts and experiences:

1. Have any of you tried eco-friendly or sustainable workout clothing? How was your experience?

2. Would you be open to renting high-quality workout gear instead of buying it? What would make you more likely to use such a service?

3. What concerns or potential issues do you think could arise with renting workout clothes?

I'm really interested in hearing about your experiences and opinions on this topic. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!

Hi everyone,

I run a dessert shop in North London that has been open for almost two years now. While our business is growing well overall, our daytime sales are quite poor. Currently, over 70% of our sales occur after 6 pm.

Our shop is located on a very busy High Street with a lot of foot traffic during the day. I'm considering introducing a special daytime-only menu featuring Bubble Tea and Coffee (we already serve Coffee, but Bubble Tea would be a new addition).

I would love to hear your thoughts on whether adding Bubble Tea is the right move. Additionally, I welcome any other ideas on how we can increase our daytime revenue.

Thank you!

I'm currently conducting in-depth market research and seeking insights from entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of product development firsthand but have been struggling to find some and thought this would be a great place to go. I am looking for entrepreneurs who are navigating the startup grind and have experiences to share about overcoming hurdles, handling stress, and pushing boundaries in product development. Their insights will directly influence the business solution I'm developing for this industry.

Can this community please help offer advice as to what the best next steps would be to find these ICAs?

Most of us grow up thinking of salespeople as loud and fast talkers who say anything to make the sale. Introverts on the other hand are typically described as inward focused, quiet, and reserved.

I've been on a mission to crack the code on customer engagement, and I think I've found the secret sauce.

You know those FAQ pages that no one reads? Well, I decided to flip the script.

I really love FAQs, because they can deliver a lot of information in a short period of time. No marketing bs, just pure answers.

Here is some advice on how to make a banger FAQ:

1. Focus on addressing the core concerns and hesitations that may prevent people from converting.
2. Anticipate the most common objections potential customers may have.
3. Keep the questions and answers concise, using simple language that's easy to understand.
4. Preemptively overcome objections and fears, especially around sensitive topics like pricing or returns.
5. Organize the FAQs logically, leading with the most important and persuasive points Instead of hiding FAQs.

I made a small widget that will present these key questions proactively. Maybe it will help you as well: https://www.faqpopup.comVisitors can quickly find the info they need, and even ask questions directly.

I'd love to hear your thoughts & experience with FAQs.

I've been intrigued by AI and its ability to help businesses streamline time-consuming tasks. Recently, I discovered a case study where an AI voice agent was able to earn a business $20,000 in booked calls in a month. It got me thinking: what industry would a similar voice agent be applicable to?

Below, I've shared the case study and a demo number for a voice agent I developed. This technology is advancing rapidly, and I want to explore its potential further.

Case Study

A family-owned HVAC company struggled with managing a high volume of customer calls, including after-hours and weekend inquiries, resulting in missed opportunities and unmanaged leads. Hiring a dedicated call support team was not cost-effective.

Solution

The company implemented an AI system to handle calls autonomously, gather customer information, and notify service technicians via SMS, with options for live call transfers.

Details

The AI integration featured custom capabilities such as Service Titan integration, live call transfers, SMS/email alerts, calendar and CRM integration, and Zapier automation.

Results

In the first week, the company experienced a 20% increase in bookings and conversions. The system efficiently captured leads and managed tasks, enabling staff to handle more inquiries and outsource overflow.

Within 30 days, the company saved $20,000 in lost revenue due to the elimination of calls that went to voicemail, or lost leads. The voice agent's ability to answer calls 24/7 led to significant revenue growth, time savings, and reduced churn.

Here's the demo number for the voice agent I created: +1 (651) 372 2045

I believe this tech has strong use cases in a variety of industries, from home service, to dental clinics, to wedding photographers. This article studied the effect of missed calls in different businesses, if you're interested in learning more.

I want to get everyone's thoughts at r/growmybusiness and ask what industry you think this would be the most applicable for. Thank you!

Hello!

I'm looking for tips on how to use social media to reach more customers and grow my business. I know having a strong online presence is key, but I'm not sure where to start. Any advice on creating engaging content, running ads, or building a brand community on social media would be awesome. I'm open to all suggestions!

My colleague suggested a lead generator called WarpLeads since they use it in their office. Has anyone tried it? She says it’s perfect for me since I don’t have to spend much and I can get unlimited export leads. If you can suggest any tool for me, that would be great!

Thanks a bunch for your help. Excited to hear your thoughts and learn from your experiences.

We are evaluating Rapid API platform for one of the tech research projects.

Small business owner looking for advice on future expansion.

.

My husband is an arborist and has owned a very small scale sole proprietorship tree service since 2018. He brings in a decent amount of revenue annually and has a decent amount of regular customers he does work for. At the beginning of this year he started climbing for another tree local service while he was waiting for his business to pick back up after “off season”. This local company is also pretty small scale itself but its two owners are much higher scale themselves, owning multiple companies that bring in a large amount of annual revenue, therefore the company has bigger and better equipment and A LOT more capital. The owners recently have asked my husband to become a partner and buy into the company.(They’re both getting older and are wanting to begin pulling back some to essentially retire.) They have offered to continue paying him his regular wages and gift my husband 10% of the company off the bat and discuss further buy in options on top of that. My husband is supposed to meet with them to discuss all the details and we want to be prepared prior to that meeting. (My husband is not much of a “business man” to be honest) What are some good questions he should ask at the future meeting? Any and all advice / suggestions is appreciated!!

For context,

My product is a user research platform (specifically for product managers to do regular product discovery).

I've run multiple user research studies in the past, and improved the product greatly, but yet there are still problems.

The problem is that new sign-ups (product managers) drop off at a particular point in the flow, never to return.

I'm trying to improve the experience, but I struggle to get those new signups on calls.

So, I set up a usability test survey with my platform to test a particular part of my platform.

But people seem to be unable to complete it.

I'm confused why.

The survey has 2 questions (1 website testing and 1 multiple choice question).

My user research platform doesn't have it's panel of participants for me to ask.

Plus, I'm now struggling to get my target users on calls to participate in user research.

So, Reddit is my last resort.

For further context, the usability test is https://www.prepsus.io/research/7905633486331311/link

please could you help by trying the test and giving me some feedback?

Hello business owners, I need some advice. Is it okay to use comparative advertising? For instance, can we compare tennis rackets we buy from another factory to high-end brands like Prince Phantom X40? Can we also mention our quality control and that they are made in the same factory? Is it allowed? Thank you.
