SpringLaunch. It’s a Wrap.
Hi there! We wrapped up our SpringLaunch 3-part webinar series last week and what a whirlwind it was! On our 3rd webinar, “Startup Sales 101: How to Get Your First 10 Customers,” we had over 350 people registered and a waiting list to get in!
If you weren’t able to get there, don’t worry! We recorded each session, so you can go back and take advantage of these strategic tactics and tips.

Here’s the Recap…
You’ve identified a problem or a gap in the marketplace and know exactly how to solve it. This is a fantastic opportunity, but you must figure out how to move from idea to execution.
- We’ll guide you through a 5-step proven process to validate your idea.
- Save yourself a ton of time and angst worrying whether your idea can be a business, a side hustle, or just a fun hobby.
You’ve taken the first steps to validate your timely business idea. There is market demand for your product or service, and people want what you provide. Congratulations! Keep your idea from getting stuck in this phase! It’s time to legitimize your business and build a solid foundation to grow.
- Write a business plan to attract investors or partners.
- Choose the correct business entity (and know why it makes sense legally and financially).
- Develop business systems to bring on new clients and provide excellent customer service.
The difference between a business and a hobby is sales. But what if this is the first time you’ve sold something? What if dialing a stranger makes you break out in a nervous sweat? In this session, we dive into sales 101 and teach you how to break through your first 10 customers.
- Learn how to take your product or service to market.
- Lock down your ideal customer profile.
- Present your offering in a confident and professional manner
- Set achievable sales goals
