I Exited My First SaaS At 22 Years Old - Here's How I Did It (Selling Closify)

[@camdsc]

Your speed of execution is impressive. From launch to exit in 2 years is really something. Looking forward to see where you go from here.

[@camdsc]

PS are you using that AI eye-contact software? 🤣

[@alex.heiden]

Hahahah no I wasn’t, but thank you!!

[@jeremyferguson9292]

I have been watching your videos over the last two days and enjoying every bit of them! My partner and I are a couple of weeks into building a saas platform so seeing your content in parallel is super cool. Then I see you’re into pickleball and now I am hooked. I have been playing for over 5 years and can’t get enough of it!

[@alex.heiden]

Let’s go!! Stay up to date on my IG helping a buddy launch a pickleball brand

Hey mate, super keen to keep following your story. I’m a 21 year old Australia looking to do something similar in SaaS in the coaching space. Keep up the good work.

[@chaseclingman]

Congrats mate. I have a SaaS myself and am currently in the acquisition phase. My product is B2C so I need quite a large userbase being such a low-price product. I would love to hear your advice and suggestions on how I should approach this phase. I have been reaching out to family and friends and telling them to reach out to their friends which has generated some users. I am branching out to public relation channels such as media coverage and we will see how that goes. I have a rather large social media following on Instagram but the community does not overlap with my products mission. Nonetheless, I will do social media marketing after I have soaked everything out of the public relation channel. I am trying to do a methodical approach of one channel at a time until I see major success.

Whoa! You have killer content! You're first edition of your software before you hired a nocode agency, how much did you spend?

[@alex.heiden]

Roughly 2k

[@YasinArshad]

love this! thanks for sharing my man! have you publicly released how much you sold for?

I am not able to

[@YasinArshad]

​@@alex.heiden yup Hormozi had the same thing NDA for when he sold ALAN software. rough range sold for more than high 6 figures right?

[@jd5787]

Well done! It's pretty cool what you have achieved in Such a short span of time! As a 2 sided marketplace, what was the revenue model you chose? (because once a company has found a sales person via the platform, nothing prevents them from not returning to Closify right?). Was it easy to source the sales people?? What actions did you take had the most impact on the business to generate so much growth? Very inspiring story! Thanks for sharing 😁👍

[@TTS777]

Congrats on your exit Alex. Possible to know how you built the MVP? or did you get soneone to build it for you using Stacker/Zapier/Airtable?

[@alex.heiden]

I built the very first version, I paid people after that

[@rayd2906]

Getting 1st few clients via cold emails is cool, but at what point do you stop doing that and use other methods to scale?

[@alex.heiden]

I never stop using cold email, but I keep adding more channels. You should be doing content marketing from the start too

[@keenenwalker8708]

How did you go about actually finding the closers though? I have a similar idea but for ecom, and I don't know a good strategy on recruiting actually good people. Getting customers wouldn't be the hard part, but actually finding the talent.

[@alex.heiden]

Outbound campaigns + content marketing

[@traeway90]

Im currently trying to figure out the vehicle that suits me best. I would love that 10k a month, work a few hours a day, sales route. The problem is that I dont know how to start with sales.

[@alex.heiden]

Reach out to people with high ticket offers to close for them

[@CatiStickyFingaz]

Not asking for it here, but are you able to give advice/recommendations for dev agencies like you mentioned you used for bubble?

[@alex.heiden]

Yes

[@chriswe67]

How much did you sell it for ? What was your profit? Any ideas for a non sass company?
