📂 Tiny Marketing Ideas: Buy out competitor contracts

Today's newsletter is proudly supported by Sales.co 🎉

Sales and marketing are two sides of the same coin. And there's no better way to generate results tomorrow than through email outreach. I couldn't be more excited to partner with Sales.co to help more startups do cold email well. They handle everything from idea generation to a/b testing. All you have to do is show up for the sales call. Founded by two software engineers, their approach is data-driven and scalable, and they only care about bringing you qualified leads. Make sure to mention "Corey" or "Swipe Files."

Idea 💡

Offer to buy out competitor contracts.

Yes, you read that right.

Here's what you do:

  1. Offer to "buyout" your customer from their current annual subscription.
  2. Apply a coupon to their account for the exact amount they have left on their plan with the competitor.
  3. Congrats — you've now given your new customer an excuse to switch to you without losing money or waiting until the contract expires.
