I am happy to welcome Dan C (@DanC ) to Fastlane who is the founder of the SAAS startup, FollowUpBoss, a CRM tool for real estate agents.
Here is a little bio:
In 2008 Dan realised he'd been scammed by society after having completed 4 years at university (college) in Australia studying business and getting a job in finance. When the financial crisis hit his department went from 11 people down to 1 (Dan). After about 2 years at that job he realised he had to get out of the mind numbing boredom and started building websites for small businesses.
In 2011 he teamed up with a developer to start a SAAS business (the original idea was a simple but powerful CRM for small businesses), but 6 months in there were no customers and just a very basic product that no-one would ever pay for. He realised he needed to learn a lot more about marketing, sales and product creation and found Dane Maxwells Foundation course through Mixergy.com.
After going through the foundation course and finding out specific problems from real estate teams, he created www.followupboss.com a real estate lead management system. The business was created completely remotely from the USA with no outside funding while baselining in Europe, Turkey and Germany. The business now employs 8 people, is doing 6 figures a month revenue and is growing quickly.
He’s now living in Sydney, Australia.
Here's a photo of his "baselining" (everything he owned!) inventory.
Feel free to ask away. And if you're out there Dan, please say hello.
You can also find a detailed interview here on how Dan got started from scratch.
