Challenges met and solutions found
- I couldn't find customers.
- I hired a sales rep.
- I still couldn't find customers.
- I took the problem head on and did some prospecting, I created flyers and business cards that I went to distribute at events such as the home trade show, I participated in a lot of networking.
- I didn't like my work environment, it wasn't inspiring or motivating.
- I went to a coworking place, it was magical! There were people from different backgrounds, ambitious, the sharing was rich from all points of view.
- I sometimes received insulting emails from unsatisfied customers.
- At that time, I would take it very personally. So, before replying to them, I would consult my fellow co-workers who were also entrepreneurs on how to deal with that kind of situation. They would give me excellent advice on how to deal with the client.
- When I had a lot of orders I didn't have the time to follow up and produce.
- I answered the emails at 5am before I woke up and the rest of the day was spent in production.
- I worked all day but I earned almost nothing.
- I doubled my prices.
- I needed volume to be profitable.
- I made a partnership with a salesman to sell about ten sites per month every month.
- The customers were waiting 2 months to get their site because I was overwhelmed.
- I hired two interns to help me.
- I realized that it took several years to train an intern and that it was a lot of work.
- I hired a developer to help me.
- When I hired my developer, I didn't get any more orders.
- We improved our way of working by creating a component library using a new language for HTML, PUG.
