I created a landing page, advertised it on google, and I was happy getting the forms filled and my email with new leads! They were all bots 🤖 🤦🏻‍♂️

Rob! I dug out your old podcast yesterday - moving into a mature market. Some great tips there... And now I somehow stumble upon this video. Great to put a name to a face. I've been a fan for a while. Loved startups for the rest of us! Nice to put a name to the face. Lets go for a beer sometime. 🙂

Wish I found this earlier. Makes total sense. My biggest fear about my SaaS idea (Which I'm almost done coding) is how not good I am with marketing. Even though my last company lasted 17 years, I feel ultimately the failure was because my network and connection with customers was nonexistent and marketing was basically word of mouth on forums.

Straight to the point and very actionable, thank you!

I don't know about this. Consider this:
“If I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse.” -- Henry Ford
"A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them”. -- Steve Jobs
