I’m a bit more receptive to offline messages if they’re targeted adequately. They can see my interests by skimming my LinkedIn, GitHub and StackOverflow accounts and contacting me via social media or by email is fine if their product is somewhat relevant to my work or hobbies. However, asking me to spend my time trialing their “new super-cool Kubernetes offering” is a huge nope. Especially if that interaction happens over the phone.

The product is so good you found out about it from someone else and had to have it also... Kinda like docker or python or something.

They actually had that when the first started.

There's a lesson here in the difficulty of selling to developers.

So, how did the other person find out about it?

dev meetup lightning round?

hn

So people should advertise on hn instead of cold calling?

Look up "permission marketing"
