Listen "#362 - The Best Strategies for Bootstrapped Founders at Business Conferences"

Episode Synopsis

My experience attending a business conference in Madrid as a bootstrapped founder. I talk about the challenges I faced pitching in Spanish, the costs involved in attending the conference, and why face-to-face meetings are so important for B2B sales. I share my own tips on networking, negotiating ticket prices, and preparing demos, and I also describe what it was like staying in a capsule hotel. I emphasize the irreplaceable value of in-person connections and engaging on social media, and I reflect on what it means to expand into new markets. I’d love to hear about your own conference experiences, so feel free to share them with me!
