Where are all the sales conversations?
MARKETINGI feel on this forum in 2026, I see a lot of posts now about "ideas", lots of "ideas". Why am I not seeing anything about the actual most important thing: SALES. Getting people to actually use your thing. Sales is the core driver of anything, especially early on. We love to hear the story of...- aidanoffline

- AI -Too much planning my man, a trap I fell into commonly. You'll very quickly realize the battle with B2B SaaS is actually distribution and sales, especially now. Pick up the phone and start calling. I suggest reading this, a very very famous article by the legendary Paul Graham talking about...- aidanoffline

The Barrier to Entry Dropped. Now What? (A 21 Year Old's Answer)
STORYGlad you think so MJ! Update: we are now cold calling practices. This is like playing on maximum difficulty but I think cold calling is probably one of the more important selling skills you can have in 2026. Cold email is pretty much dead (besides newsletter campaigns), DMs require a warm...- aidanoffline

The Barrier to Entry Dropped. Now What? (A 21 Year Old's Answer)
STORY@MJ DeMarco just read your ITM newsletter and I want to push back slightly. Not on the framework, it's solid... but I think it's more nuanced than influence, training, and marketing. Hear me out. Quick Recap I'm 21, finishing my last semester at a state college, working remotely at a...- aidanoffline

Feedback Wanted: Replacing Tax Season With a Year-Round AI Tax Dashboard
IDEA MARKETING EXECUTIONYou need to go speak to your customers (your ICP) and not us. We are probably not the ones paying for this thing. It can't just be "business owners", you need to get SUPER NARROW on who needs this. Ask them about their problems first, see if you can find commonalities, then build the product...- aidanoffline

Aidan's Big A** Progress Thread
MARKETING EXECUTION STORYThis is something I'm actively scared of. Going to be asking upfront what the plan is in our next call. But today I'm going to be running some tests with Google Ads. We're going to put some bids out there in some "urgent" verticals in the local area, see if we get some bites, and if we do...- aidanoffline

Aidan's Big A** Progress Thread
MARKETING EXECUTION STORYHey MJ. This was 100% something I networked into and have no idea if it's going to work out. I was talking with a very experienced sales guy on LinkedIn named Ned, he's been in the game for like 30+ years and has exited a few startups. He does fractional sales for a bunch of companies that...- aidanoffline

Watch Me Launch My First SAAS
SAAS / APPSWe're all so hard on ourselves here, and that's a good thing, but we can't let it get out of hand. I'm 20 and even now, I excessively compare myself to others.
