First Million Framework

Within this book, you'll be introduced to the First Million Framework and receive tactical advice on scaling your startup.

1

Find Product-Market-Fit

It's important to find PMF as rapidly as possible and this book includes battle-tested methods on how to do this in record time.

2

Identify Ideal Customer Profiles

Instead of casting a large net and having inefficient acquisition, Ideal Customer Profiles will increase conversion rates among other metrics.

3

Nail Messaging

Messaging is the fuel for all acquisition efforts so it's critical to have that defined early, along with being consistent across all comms.

4

'Aha' Moment

When your customers find their 'aha' moment it's glorious - every major startup has found this and capitalized on getting their customers there sooner.

5

Optimize

The main pillar to growth marketing is "optimizing" through iterative testing, but it needs to be done correctly or will lead to wasted time.

6

Repeat (as needed)

Some of these steps will need to be repeated countless times to get to the first million, and that's okay - especially the optimizing portion.
