Getting Your First Customer

Hi all,

I've been helping out Richard Cormack Corrigan with their start up program (feel free to post a link Richard) and explained to new business owners about the importance of getting that first customer, no matter how small.

It helps validate everything and you can even do a deal with them to be a first case study etc. Sometimes you can get caught up on what the idea or business can become and getting that first customer helps line it all up.

So, can you remember your first customer and how long did it take you to get them?

  • I remember my first customer. It had taken a couple of months to get that first one and it was pretty daunting, but it gave me the confidence to know that the service I was offering was needed and of interest to people! 

  • Yes! Despite all the prep and research, hard work and effort, not a single client in our first month of trading. But Month 2 was better. And we've done ok since!

    How long did it take you?
