Before spending on marketing — the first 10 customers validate that real people will pay real money.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Find Your First 10 Paying Customers. # Context Original working context: - Step 1: My product/service: {{describe}}. Price: ₹{{amount}}. Target customer: {{describe}}. I have zero existing audience. Map every possible channel to find my first 10 paying customers — from my existing network, online communities, WhatsApp groups, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit India, local events. - Step 2: Write the outreach message for the top 3 channels — a personalised pitch that asks for a sale, not feedback. Under 100 words each. - Step 3: Design a 'founder's deal' — a special offer for first 10 customers that makes it hard to say no (bonus, discount, personal access, co-creation input). - Step 4: Write the follow-up message for people who said 'sounds interesting' but didn't buy. Send on Day 3 and Day 7. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
