Empowering professionals to find clients effortlessly | Simplifying lead generation for ambitious individuals and SMBs

[Leon @leon_hawking]

Day 3:
What exactly I’m building?
Building a simpler way for ambitious individuals and small teams to find clients.
Most lead gen tools and advice assume you have time, budget, or a team.
Many people don’t.
Still early, designing and building it properly.

@Briellefine Exactly, and what kind of book do you suggest people read?

[Leon @leon_hawking]

Most outreach fails for a simple reason:

Your message is treated as Priority B (commercial).
People only really read Priority A (from people they know or trust).
If your first message feels like a sales pitch, it’s already ignored.

@BekaahOrr Is there a subject that interests you? If there is something you are interested in, start there, it is not too late yet. But if you continue on a path you do not like, then it will be late.

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@Ionkosm That’s a good point, if you don’t want to analyze sensitive data, cloud ones are ok

Extra update:

I’m giving early founders and owners a free Early Sales Playbook
when they use my MVP.
Just a small gift to help you start selling sooner.

Update:

I’m choosing to build a better, more functional MVP rather than the fastest possible one.
Many say ship early for feedback.
I think founders and owners deserve something that already adds real value.
So yes, it’s taking longer. And I’m okay with that.

Founder tip:
The easiest sales come from people who already need your product.
Not from waiting.
Not from spam.
Just from finding the right people first.

@RhysSullivan Many small teams don't use it at all, I personally prefer spreadsheets because they are simple and hassle free

Founder to founder:

Stop fishing in empty pools.
Wrong audience = no clients. Period.

@BarbellFi Milestones look good on paper. Real wealth usually doesn’t grow linearly. You can have almost nothing in your 20s and become a millionaire in your early 30s.

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@zdogmode Gone, like other trends, it is the nature of hype

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@WarrenInTheBuff A casual wrong move, a better approach might be: "How can I help your business achieve its goal? What problem do you have that you would hire me to solve?"

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@marcrandolph Not generic focus, but concentrating on what truly matters and driving tangible, impactful changes in the business.

[Leon @leon_hawking]

In my opinion, instead of building a product or even building an audience, you should sell first.

@naval Ai battling ai, but with humans behind the scenes.

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@MansiCodez Maybe nothing much but marketing and limited hardware pieces

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@danellisona Because it doesn’t matter when you wake up to work, what matters more is the result.

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@pmitu Hyped and wrong content, terrible product + elite marketing = temporary sell then $0 MRR, both the product and marketing matter

[Leon @leon_hawking]

@AdamMGrant Find your purpose and ‘put it into action’

[Leon @leon_hawking]

AI won’t destroy the economy and will create new opportunities for genuine creators, but consumers need to be cautious.
