Growth Hacks

Maximize Free Publicity with Expert Commentary One of the most effective ways to build credibility and attract customers is to position yourself as an industry expert. This can generate free media exposure while increasing brand authority.

  • Offer free expert opinions on LinkedIn, Twitter, or business podcasts

  • Submit guest articles to major blogs and news outlets

  • Example: A fintech startup founder can comment on market trends, leading to interviews with Forbes or CNBC

Create a Customer Ambassador Program Your existing customers are your best salespeople. A structured referral program can turn them into brand ambassadors.

  • Offer discounts, cash rewards, or exclusive perks for successful referrals

  • Set up tiers (e.g., 5 referrals = VIP customer status)

  • Example: Dropbox used free storage incentives to grow from 100K to 4M users in 15 months

Sales Masterclass

The Power of “Loss Aversion” in Closing Deals
People fear losing out more than they desire gaining something new. Use urgency and exclusivity to your advantage.

  • “Only 5 spots left!” → Creates scarcity

  • “Get this price before it increases next week!” → Introduces urgency

  • Example: A software company offering early-bird pricing for a limited time can see 20-30% higher conversions

The “Yes Ladder” Strategy
Getting customers to agree to small commitments makes them more likely to say yes to bigger ones.

  • Start with a low-risk ask (“Would you like a free trial?”)

  • Follow up with a bigger offer (“Upgrade now for an exclusive bonus”)

  • Example: Amazon’s free Prime trial converts over 73% of users into paying customers
