A recommended read for all early stage founders and for employees too if you are one of the earlier team members.

One thing we do and still do even at 15+ people is we call each and every new signup on the phone.

We do it for these reasons:

1) How did you find us?

2) Do you need help starting?

3) (Implicit: we care)

It probably works because what we have it’s a B2B platform.

However, our target group is software developers and maybe surprisngly these phone calls are really really nice.. once you get over the ”no, I am noy calling you to sell anything”-phase :)
