Had Super insightful MASTER CLASS of Meraj Faheem on SALES by eChai Ventures at Draper Startup House ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Meraj Faheem started all with introducing himself & Journey of his Studentpreneur life where he Started India's First Hacking School BootCamp!

Like How he got his First Client through SEO-Search Engine Optimisation via google and from there it all Started and became India's First and initially he charged 80K then it goes around 150K he adds!

And after his clients experience over Hacking School they started suggesting it to their network as well as friends of friends of them this is how it started growing organically ๐Ÿ“ˆ

The main step of a Founder towards sales is to make that initial Connection and maintain relationship with their customers first to get to their 500th Customer.

Like one of the best Example is how the customer of Google got his Account Suspended due to some reason but wanted to recover it and until Larry page Former CEO of google made it happen by recognising the customer who was one of their 100th customer and redirected him to his manager to solve the problem๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

This is what the real meaning of relationship with customers is๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโœจ๏ธ

So maintaining that relationship with your customers should be your first priority where it helps you to grow more and more because you are selling your Services/products to them right?

Creating that Familiarity of you in public makes lot of differences as well as it is not possible in one or two meet but third time it can๐Ÿ”ฅ

Founders should me known for their Brand๐Ÿ’ฅ

Every Business Should have their Data bases like the best example is Mark Zuckerberg before launching Facebook he restricted it to Harward .edu by inviting his Friends, Friends of friends, classmates to make a profile and to conect with each other by Leveraging his first degree Network totally๐Ÿ”ฅ

The takeaways and Main points were-

1. "You Cannot Bribe/Manipulate/Influence Everyone-You Need to Win them"

2. Increase Familiarities between people and yourself.

3. You should be know for the Right Things.

4. Make your Data bases perfect.

5. Dont burn money in marketing learn sales first!

6. Price cannot be the Differentiator.

7. Your Brand in front of Others matters alot!!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world โ€” and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
