Making Your Startup's First Sale

Business Tip Of The Day

Until your new business makes its first sale, it’s really nothing more than an unproven idea you’re spending money on. You won’t know whether or not you have an idea you can build a new business around until you get out in the marketplace and generate sales.

The key priorities for any start-up should be:

Get your first product ready enough to sell (which generally means it won’t be perfect yet).

Sell it.

Once your product or service starts to sell, you can then start working to make it better.

Don’t worry about spending money on fancy logos, glossy brochures, leasing office space, hiring employees or even filing your business or tax forms just yet.

All of that stuff can be put in place later on once you’ve established you’ve got a viable product or service to offer

Selling is all that matters at this stage so get out into the marketplace and offer what you have.

Worry about making your first sale and then obsess over making additional sales until the small revenue stream turns into a bigger one.
