B2B Product Founders/Builders

[BhplatinumUK]

Hi All,

I've had a number of B2B companies and I've always been the frontend sales/marketing director in the business which lead to me getting into cold outbound (email and LinkedIn) for lead gen as well as sales. The past 18 months I've been consulting companies on building or improving their outbound system, but the reality is, I hate consulting and working with clients in the traditional sense and I'm now keen to move out more into building product companies. I know I can get the products marketed/sold, I'm just struggling with the product side.

Intrigued to hear from anyone else who is running B2B product companies, your experience, expertise etc.

I'm based in the UK!

Speak soon,

a lot of product founders spend years learning sales. you've already got that piece. biggest trap i see is trying to invent a market instead of solving a problem that's already costing businesses money. if clients keep asking for the same thing manually, that's usually where the product idea is hiding.

Yeah you're 100% right @DojaCat, I've built a few B2B businesses before based solely on customer pain points and it makes the growth far easier. I've also seen people trying to push products no one has a need for and they always fail

How much was your B2B consulting ticket?

Depends on the company and what they were trying to achieve in all honesty
