Guest: Roman Hipp, Co-founder @ BetterContact
What happens when you need high-quality pipeline but have zero marketing budget?
You put a human face behind your SaaS product and let authenticity do the selling. In this episode of Haamucast, Edward sits down with Roman Hipp, co-founder of Better Contact, who's been building founder-led content for 1.5 years and attributes 70% of his company's revenue to LinkedIn β directly and indirectly.
You'll hear:
π» Why Roman shifted from technical product posts to personal failure stories (and why vulnerability works better than features)
π» How CEOs of huge companies started reaching out after consuming his content β without ever having a sales conversation
π» The "founder-market fit" concept: why building your personal brand is just as experimental as finding product-market fit
π» Why spending most of your time on the hook matters more than perfecting the body of your post
π» The "rented audience" problem with social platforms and why email still beats everything for owning your audience
Bonus: Roman explains why asking ChatGPT to write your founder-led content will do more harm than good β and why treating it like a proper marketing channel with time and resources is non-negotiable.
