This has to be one of the most helpful podcasts for anyone in Pakistan's IT sector. Unfortunately, companies and people never share how they are bringing business and this leads to the hit and try for others, which eventually takes a lot of time. Thank You Ehmad Bhai and Waqar Bhai. Kudos
I have worked at different software companies in Islamabad/Pakistan. The secret is : 1. Setting up company in USA. 2. You should have a company website with portfolio and a landing page where potential clients can contact you. 3. Run google ad camping targeting specific customers. 4. Landing them to your contact page where they can give you their number and name. 5. Having a sale guy who can follow up clients and convince clients to get your software services. 6. Once they are ready, setup an online meeting with your project manager. Who knows different technologies. This manager will be responsible for taking the requirements and responsible to show working product to the client and taking their feedback.
I am running a company for three years now, doing really good via Upwork Alhamdulillah, and like everyone, want to explore more channels other than upwork. Email marketing and just going outside of upwork is something I have always struggled with. And I cannot thank you guys enough. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge so openly with everyone Waqar bhai. It's just amazing. With this podcast, you have just trained the next generation of agency owners and someone will be able to build their own sales team, just because of the way you have shared your knowledge. And thanks a lot Ehamd. The work you are doing is just immensely valuable. So many people are going to start agencies, create more employment and bring more revenue in Pakistan, just by watching your videos and learning from them. Please keep going and keep up the good work. Truly wish you guys all the success.
While watching the podcast, i was thinking to ask you about how's your email marketing strategy going since we discussed it once and then i saw your comment below 😃
Haha. Yeah we tried for a few months but didn't have much success. We should have spent more time on it, but there was some lack of proper planning as well. Hopefully we'll be starting it soon once again
@@imhashir bro it's common, i am also doing good with platforms and want to get out of them because of the feedback system, fake projects, and deadlines, I have also tried email marketing, and it didn't work for me either
Dont know who this guy is and never heard ehmad earlier, but I have been into sales and all the things he has brought up are realistic and correct... i listened to the full podcast and even repeated some parts for my understanding.. i think you should interview him again with some other insights for the product market or how he is going to invest in what businesses as he mentioned those bits also... Kudos to both gentlemen
Great conversation. Ehmad you did a really good job in picking Waqar's brain. this conversation is worth so much more than it being free. we all are grateful that we are seeing conversations like this in Pakistan. Hats off to you both!
As a tech startup owner I had a lot of queries related to sales specifically. Waqar bhai has answered almost all of them and it was a very fruitful podcast. Thank You Ehmad for bringing up.
The one and only Ehmad Zubair you are letting us know how to start a business from 0. I have learnt lot from your interviews and one the way to start a software business.
I'm working on my venture. There are some scenarios which I think I'm doing right but this podcast totally change my perspective. Will sort these things out today morning😅
The level of information you guys are sharing is amazing. Really makes one think where we are lacking in terms of sales. I would love more podcasts on tech sales and how a company owner can find people for such tasks.
Thank you very much for bringing this healthy conversation for us. Recently I registered my software company in Oman and I am struggling in bringing sales but the content idea he gave us must be amazing and fruitful for me also Insha'Allah.
Amazing Podcast Ehmad. Learned alot from Waqar Hassan. I am running my own own agency endshift, and figuring out ways to scale it up to next levels. Your podcasts and guest selections are helping me a lot in gathering information around all the aspects of running a successful software house. In the podcast, Waqar has mentioned about a recorded video where he has detailed information on the sales processes. If you can provide the link for it that would be really helpful. Keep doing this awsome job. Thank You
Thank you for this podcast. I was great to see the nuances explained however there are certain aspects which were abstracted such as sales ROI and lead time to data gathering where only tools were mentioned. Apart from that it was a great piece for learning.
I have good freelance profile and record of working with my clients, that clearly shows how good I am but should I look for a sales person to help me make more sale and start an agency?
Yes their original process is different what I heard from one of their employee but he didn’t share anything about that. Most of his thoughts were realistic but I am sure many agency owners nowadays are already aware of these points.
Great work, Keep it up bro Lead generation and enrichment seems to be quite a challenge for hundreds out there. So, if you can go through tools available along with their authenticity and effectiveness that would be much appreciated. Thanks
Waqar bahai is amazing, but still I feel email, linkedin and cold calling still fall in outbout outreach ( reaching someone with their consent ) and in SaaS normally we get inbound leads, people comming to us. So waqar bahai should start working on inbound as well now
I am writing to express my current situation and my eagerness to collaborate with your team through the internship opportunity you offer. Currently, in my fourth semester, I have been diligently studying the MERN stack. However, despite my efforts, I have encountered several challenges and feel stuck in my learning process. I have been trying to learn from UA-cam, but I have faced numerous issues along the way. Working with your team on this internship could provide me with the guidance and mentorship I need to overcome these obstacles. I am passionate about expanding my skills in MERN stack development and am eager to contribute to your team. I am confident that I can quickly regain momentum and make meaningful contributions with your support and the right environment.
@Ehmad Zubair. Which video Waqar Hasan is talking about. I tried on Whizzbridge channel but couldnt find the one he mentioned in the podcast. Can someone plz help.
This is the most demanded channel in current situation of Pakistan, Is there any other channels which have the same type of content, if there is please share.
Ehmad bhai sales and business, what's the difference? I think i am business guy who can generate sales and manage it until delivering it to the client and create a relationship with the client. Is that what business is ?
A business is a combination of multiple functions including sales. A business is an asset that can be sold or purchased. A function itself, like sales, cannot be sold or purchased.
I just lost my first company to a partner and hence need to start from scratch avoiding any partnerships, I'm not into sales and marketing a lot but positive to generate leads, now what would be the best idea to onboard a software developers... How did you started your journey....
At 44:24, he still hasn't discussed anything productive. When the host asked a productive question, he dodged it instead of addressing it directly. It seems like he either doesn't have useful information to share or he is unwilling to reveal his secrets. Unfortunately, he ended up wasting a lot of people's time.
Assalamu alikum... Zubair you have to built sales sereie,s. ....get mahdi from GCC dubai live on your podcast... sheikh sjawal helps you to get in touch with Mahdi
Why isn't there a podcast featuring professional ICT Officers from the Pakistan Army or PAF, especially those specialized in cybersecurity? Such insights from top experts would be incredibly valuable and engaging
Nobody share their tools of trade, we shouldn’t expect that from anyone, however he has extensively explained a lot if anyone serious wants to move forward from what they’re doing :)
Why do you assume that if someone is here, then they are here to share their secrets? Sharing experiences and opinions on the market could also be a reason to be here.
Hello Guys, If someone needs help with lead generation and requires valid contact details of CTOs from a specific location and industry, I can help provide that material

I use to listen to podcasts while working on my laptop, and I often minimized other tabs just to focus on what you were saying.

I'm working on my venture. There are some scenarios which I think I'm doing right but this podcast totally change my perspective. Will sort these things out today morning😅

Excellent guy - nice listening to his views 😊

He is a master of sales.
Kindly invite CEO from Machine Learning 1 (ML1)
roughly 40 leads from almost "10000 emails/ Month" ... 🤯... mind blowing
It is much different when you actually implement it, I am doing 6500 per day and I am still not near that number monthly. Good luck.

Hello Dear, Long time no see😅😅
He doesn't even reply to email on the address given on his LinkedIn profile.
He doesn't want to give his secrets!
U r right
Nobody share their tools of trade, we shouldn’t expect that from anyone, however he has extensively explained a lot if anyone serious wants to move forward from what they’re doing :)
Then why is he here 😂
Why do you assume that if someone is here, then they are here to share their secrets? Sharing experiences and opinions on the market could also be a reason to be here.
no one does
Waoo

Only superficial experience shared. Actual tips are still hidden.
He's beating around the bush a lot
Not willing to answer honestly I think
Just wasted my 60+ mnts
