John Ndege spent a year selling Pocket Risk, where ran 46 sales demos and finished that year with 4 customers... and $230 in MRR. Two years later: 384 demos, 137 customers, ~$10K MRR. Same product, same pitch — one changed sales habit that made all the difference. 🧵

One afternoon of MicroConf Europe is set aside for getting outside: soak in the Sky Lagoon, taste Brennivin from distillers across Iceland, or hike to a natural hot spring. Conference talks are great... but conversations in a thermal lagoon are better. microconf.com/europe
