Find the first users personally

People who use an existing alternative already show interest in the problem. Find relevant communities and conversations. Reach suitable people with a personal explanation. Offer a useful demonstration or trial when it fits the product.

Your existing network can create the first opportunities. People who know you may try the product or introduce a better prospect. Personal goodwill helps you obtain a hearing. Continued use still needs value beyond the wish to support you.

Help the person begin. A promising conversation can end without action because the next step seems inconvenient or unclear. Demonstrate the product, assist with setup, and observe the result. Learn what stops interest from becoming actual use.
