Lately, I've been getting a lot of leads from early-stage startups.
And I love to work with those who are ready to launch and already running it.
But planning-phase guys, I ignore them cause they are not executing anything.
Now, after getting a lot of f*cking leads, I realised something:
“If people just want my market research on their business competitors and customer understanding in DMs, you have to pay for it.”
But people are freaking weird. They want everything for free.
Poor Newbie Mindset!
But if you want something valuable, you have to spend money on it.
And I'm not here for charity.
If anyone wants my brain, if they want my knowledge, they gotta pay me or f*ck off.
Either you're a cloud kitchen founder who wants to open a new branch in our local area, or you want to know about the local market and local consumers.
I will not tell you that in the DM. You have to pay me first or at least get on a call.
And that cloud kitchen guy, I sent him a Calendly link, but he didn't even book a call.
I also followed up. And he still wants market research from me for free, in the DM?
Fck you.
I'm being so aggressive in this email because sometimes you get frustrated lol.
(Or)
Just ignore shitty leads.
