Growth Hacking: The first 1000 customers w/James Kennedy (at Marketo, San Mateo)

Getting Your First 1000 customers

Featured Speaker: James Kennedy, Founder and "growth hacker" at Piehole.tv

It might be easy to scale from 1000 to 5000 customers after you've at least established a user base - but how do you get your first 1000 customers - beyond family and friends - who will actually provide valuable feedback, use your product and maybe even pay...

James will share his story as well as the specific steps and unique methods that enabled him and his partner to grow from a small town on the west coast of Europe to a business that now has thousands of customers spread over 9 timezones.
