Hey,what do you do sounds interesting. Do you have clients already?


I don't. I hope to go around to discuss stuff at local salons that use competitors next week and hope to garner some first interest along my expected feedback.

I also already know from an insider that a decently sized Belgian chain has people really frustrated with Salonised so I hope to get my foot in the door there. However before I try that it needs to be a bit more than an MVP.


Talking to local salons is a great next step, i hope you will get some good feedback!


Thank you very much.

Even tho I'm a rather smooth talker and potential salesperson it took me a fair bit of courage building initially to actually approach people about my product. I'm sure that'll get better with experience.

Down the line even if I hope to catch most customers trough unpersonal means such as online advertising, mailing, etc I'll still have to simply try and approach many larger business/chains directly.


It’s scary, but I think most people react rather positively once they understand that you aren’t trying to force them into something, but rather are trying to see if it’s possible to create a positive - sum result for both parties.
