She visits us today to talk about beta launch validation. Get on the phone with the customers on your list, not to sell, just to get feedback. Find out what they're struggling with, and have them give you a reason why they "wouldn't" buy from you to gauge those objections. She also talks to us about the success of her private webinars and 6-week courses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuBdj7axsoU  Quotes:                                                                                                                                   “Successful crowdfunding comes down to three things: having the right product-market fit, having the right resources to boost your campaign, and having the right team to put it together.” – Khierstyn Ross “What I thought I knew about my audience was very different.
