Begin with the low-hanging fruit and tap into your network of:
Friends and acquaintances
Co-workers
Past employers
Alumni
And always ask for introductions left and right.
Effective Email Campaigns
Text-only emails
"Sent via iPhone"
This makes it look organic/less automated
Triggers
When they sign up.
And when they activate.
When they are inactive.
And when their trial is about to end.
“Hey, your trial is about to end in two days, we didn’t have a chance to chat yet. Do you want me to extend your trial? Is there anything I can do to help? Just let me know!”

About the Author
The name’s Houston Golden. I’m the Founder & CEO of BAMF ― a company I’ve grown from $0 (yes, really) to well over $4M in revenue over a span of 3 years.
How did I do it? Well, it’s quite simple, really. I’ve helped hundreds of business owners and executives get major traction (because when they win, we win). I tell you how on this blog. Growth hacking is a state of mind. Follow along as I explore and expose the unknown growth strategies and tactics that will change the way you think about marketing.
