Hi all

Hey Clief Notes fam! 👋 I'm Alex and I'm pleased to have found this ... and hoping it actually helps rather than some of the snake-oil I've been experiencing so far on this journey.

🙋 A little about me:

Got a corporate role that I enjoy and am wanting to build my own commercial consultancy and services business in the UK (and beyond!).

🎯 My current goal:

My first sale! Building the infrastructure, systems, GTM etc to have a fully operational business before I press the 'go' button and start marketing and pushing lead generation.

💪 What I'm currently building/working on:

A repeatable and robust lead-generation process based on ICPs and the UK Companies House free monthly data-drop that only uses free plans and content as I don't have the revenue to justify paying for 3rd party options - and its a steep learning curve finding the free services as well as keeping things lean.

🤔 My biggest struggle or question right now:

As this is still a side-hustle I am in week 3 of building this and its still very uncomfortable as I've had to download Python - I thought that was a reptile until I Claude told me otherwise! - and running batch-files in PowerShell/terminal windows isn't something I've done since MS-DOS!

My biggest challenge is two-fold. Making sure I have identified the "correct" Ideal Customer Profiles to target and then actually getting Claude to produce a repeatable process with as little manual intervention as practical to spit out different weekly leads. Let alone tracking and actually pursuing each of those identified leads!

Onwards! 🚀
