How We Built an AI Startup While Trying to Overcome Our Language Barriers to Sell Globally
Our journey began with the simple goal of selling websites. A couple of years ago, I found myself seeking to expand my design services into the U.S. market, aiming to offer subscription-based design services to startups and venture capital firms.
The problem is that I'm from Eastern Europe, and my English isn't strong enough for fluent video meetings. Faced with a language barrier, I turned to my partner, Roman Hokhloff, an experienced sales expert, for help.
Thanks to this limitation, Roman built a customer engagement funnel that allowed us to get paid without live conversation. As a result, our design services turned into an AI startup aiming to revolutionize the sales department.
If you have no problem talking to customers, you definitely want to have fewer live meetings, get more warm leads, and make more sales. In this story, I'll show you how, step by step, using readily available and affordable tools, you can start increasing your sales.
I know that most of those reading this material are independently searching for potential clients on LinkedIn, writing them the first cold message, and trying to arrange a demo call. By following at least some of the steps outlined in this article, you'll make your job a lot easier, and you'll be able to get a lot more client meetings.
