#769 - $100K MRR in 12 Months… Can They Do It?

These co-founders want to more than triple their revenue in the next 12 months. Despite stagnation the past few years, they believe they can get there. Dan & Ian dissect their plans to achieve this goal and offer some counterintuitive advice. They cover repackaging a product for a higher cost, focusing on your premium customers, and how to lead a sales call. In this week’s newsletter, we include our favorite resources for getting started with sales calls.
