I sent 200-300 cold LinkedIn messages over the past 2-3 weeks.

The result? Zero calls booked.

Not one.

I could’ve hidden this. Waited until I had a success story to share. But that’s not what building in public means.

So here’s the raw update: abysmal response rates, no conversions, and I’m still going.

Why I’m not building yet:

My first SaaS taught me the hard way—spending months on "perfect code" that nobody wanted. This time, I’m not writing a single line until someone’s ready to pay.

The cold outreach is brutal. But it’s better than building another product that gets 0 customers.

What’s in this week’s post:

• Exact outreach numbers (ugly but honest)
• Why consistency matters more than perfection
• My 2nd public piano performance (yes, really)
• Awesome Directories launches on Product Hunt this Friday

Quick ask:

If you know anyone doing customer discovery (or struggling with cold outreach), forward this to them. Misery loves company, and we might as well learn together.

Onwards,

Meysam

P.S. — Awesome Directories goes live on Product Hunt this Friday. Would mean a lot if you dropped a comment: https://www.producthunt.com/products/awesome-directories
