Harris Kenney: 我从2019年开始创业,经历了多次尝试,最终在2023年成功开发并上线了OutboundSync这个SaaS产品。在此之前,我做过咨询,也尝试过其他SaaS产品,但都未能成功。OutboundSync的成功在于它解决了HubSpot和Salesforce用户在将外联数据导入CRM系统中的痛点,并通过与机构合作,实现了快速增长。我从一开始就关注客户的需求,并不断迭代产品,最终找到了成功的方向。在创业过程中,我经历了财务压力、家庭责任等挑战,也得到了很多人的帮助。TinySeed的投资帮助我度过了从咨询到SaaS的过渡期。 我从一开始就注重客户关系,并通过LinkedIn和WhatsApp群组与客户建立联系。我发现,那些真正需要解决问题的客户,通常会表现出强烈的紧迫感,并愿意为此投入资源。OutboundSync的成功,也离不开我与机构合作伙伴的合作,我们共同为客户创造价值,并实现了双赢。 在产品开发过程中,我不断学习和调整,从最初的低代码开发到后来的全代码开发,并不断改进产品功能,以满足客户的需求。我发现,即使是那些看起来很小的功能,也可能对客户产生巨大的影响。 在客户支持方面,我们做得非常到位,这帮助我们建立了良好的客户关系,并获得了客户的信任。 总的来说,我的创业历程充满了挑战和机遇,我不断学习和成长,最终找到了适合自己的方向。 Justin Jackson: Harris的故事是一个典型的创业故事,它展现了创业的艰辛和成功的喜悦。Harris的成功在于他始终关注客户的需求,并不断迭代产品,最终找到了适合自己的方向。他从咨询业务开始,逐步过渡到SaaS业务,并通过与机构合作,实现了快速增长。 Harris的经历也提醒我们,创业是一个漫长的过程,需要不断学习和尝试,才能找到成功的道路。在创业过程中,我们需要有足够的耐心和毅力,才能克服各种挑战。 Harris的成功也离不开他与客户和合作伙伴建立的良好关系。他通过LinkedIn和WhatsApp群组与客户建立联系,并与机构合作伙伴建立了互利的合作关系。 此外,Harris的经历也告诉我们,在创业过程中,我们需要不断学习和调整,才能适应不断变化的市场环境。他从最初的低代码开发到后来的全代码开发,并不断改进产品功能,以满足客户的需求。 最后,Harris的成功也离不开他坚持不懈的精神和对客户的真诚关怀。他始终关注客户的需求,并提供优质的客户支持,这帮助他建立了良好的客户关系,并获得了客户的信任。
