Rick knows If you can find cell phone numbers, that’s the money. If you can text, or make a phone call it escalates everything. With Seamless.AI, Rick incorporated Seamless into his sales stack around halfway through his first year. Half or more of his first year's revenue could be attributed to Seamless.

Before using Seamless.AI

Early on in his entrepreneurial journey, Rick had a hard time getting in front of the people that he needed to talk to.
LinkedIn made changes to their privacy policy, and suddenly it became more difficult to download people’s emails from LinkedIn.

After using Seamless.AI

He got his biggest client using Seamless. He first connected with him on LinkedIn, then called his cell phone which he got from Seamless. And after 5-6 months of talking, he became his client.
In his first year they generated $250K in revenue, half or more more could be attributed to Seamless.
In their second year, they went from $750K to almost $1M.

Bootstrapped to Over $1M in Revenue

Rick started his career in sales. He sold medical devices for about 5-6 years. He then caught the entrepreneurial bug. While he was pursuing his MBA, he came up with an idea for a company. He then left corporate America to start his own company.

For while, he had a lot of trouble finding his footing. Leaving the corporate world and into the world of entrepreneurship felt like he was on a big cruise ship with a lot of resources, employees, and help... The suddenly, he was in a rowboat with no guidance.

I started hearing about Seamless.AI on LinkedIn. This was right around the time when LinkedIn was making changes to their privacy policy: not getting emails, not doing that type of stuff… And as a result, I was having a hard time getting in front of the people that I needed to talk to.

At the time, his exact process was just going on the Sales Navigator, doing a boolean search, finding the exact audience he needed, download a huge list, and use an emailing platform like constant contact or woodpecker, and just start setting up some email campaigns.

But what was huge for Rick was that unlike the other products he had tried, Seamless could help him get the cell phone numbers of the people he needed to sell to.

Results

If you can find cell phone numbers, that’s the money. If you can text, or make a phone call. It’s different, it was a powerful realization for me early on.

One of his biggest clients came from Seamless. It took about 5-6 months of developing that relationship, but it was because he had connected with him on LinkedIn. He had cold called his cell phone which kicked off their conversation. Within 5 to 6 months, he became one of his clients.

In his first year, Simply Noted generated about $250k. They didn't have any investors, they didn't take out any loans, nothing. He bootstrapped his company with a $10,000 no-interest credit.

In his second year, he was three quarters to the way of $1M. He incorporated Seamless into his sales stack around halfway through his first year. Half or more of his first year's revenue could be attributed to Seamless.

I mean, the investment is worth it, so if anyone is thinking about sign up. How could you not? The monthly subscription is nominal to the value that you’re getting.
