Ryan’s Corner - What Is He Up To?

I’ve rebranded to www.swiftoutbound.com after polling different options. Here is the new logo.

Welcome to share feedback on the logo - both good and bad as I can still make adjustments. (just reply here)

I’ve had a continuous flow of referrals from events, friends of friends, and people just hitting me up on LinkedIn.

I have 2 clients active. I think my best fit for impact is a Seed or Series A B2B SaaS company that has an aggressive growth goal e.g. “I want to grow 300% this year, or “I want to go from $500K ARR to $2M or $3M to $9M etc”

So my focus this year will be servicing that type of client.

It’s always a reminder to myself - most small businesses only need 5 additional customers of the right type to build a great business. So just define your dream 100 customers, reach out, and you should hit your target.

The below LinkedIn post I wrote got some really strong engagement - but I ‘ve figured out the Scenarios which people call me. So it makes it easy for people to refer me. If anyone runs into these scenarios, give me a shout!
