We have a Gmail-native AI sales assistant for AEs startup which we pivoted 79days ago, and decided to challenge ourselves to switch from pre-revenue to revenue at the end of the 90days. I have been reaching out to my ICPs, Vp of sales via LinkedIn cold DMs, cold mails etc. However, we have not sold our service yet. What do you guys think? How can we get our first B2B sale within 10days?
Not cold outreach. Inbound. Follow-ups, prospect questions, objection emails, deal threads.
Curious if this is just the people I talk to or if it's a universal problem.
I am 22, based in Italy, looking for a co-founder or two, who has experience in building and scaling startups, actually built, exited a startup. Does not matter, if he is cto, cmo etc. Just need somebody who never gives up, ready to do whatever it takes to be successful. If you believe you are one, or already doing something, reach out to me and let’s create something great together
I pivoted 74 days ago and built an MVP for a problem I noticed in sales workflows.
The product is an AI Gmail assistant for salespeople/founders.
The idea is simple:
When a new sales email comes in, it automatically prepares a Gmail draft reply based on the thread, prospect/company context, and the user’s tone.
It does not send anything automatically — the user reviews and sends.
The target user is someone who spends a lot of time replying to inbound emails, follow-ups, objections, and active prospect conversations in Gmail.
Where I am now:
My question:
If you were me, how would you get the first paying customer?
Would you:
I’m especially interested in advice from people who have sold B2B SaaS or sales tools before.
Not trying to promote — genuinely trying to understand the best path to first revenue.
