Привет всем! Планирую запуск продукта в Америке, но честно говоря, совсем не знаю с чего начать. Нужен опытный ментор, который уже проходил этот путь. Где искать таких людей и как к ним подступиться?
I once helped a SaaS client navigate the US market. I discovered valuable PPC mentors in Facebook Ads communities and LinkedIn performance marketing groups. However, it’s crucial to approach them with specific market entry questions. Most seasoned advertisers are willing to assist if you show you’ve done your homework on audience research and competitor analysis.
When we expanded internationally, we found the best US mentors weren’t where we expected - they were active in industry SERP analysis communities. Game changer was ditching generic outreach and sharing our actual crawl budget data from breaking into competitive niches. Turns out mentors respond way better to real technical conversations about schema problems than vague “help us enter the market” asks.
These mentors got both the technical SEO stuff and US market quirks, which made their advice actually useful for our organic growth.
Mentor outreach was a nightmare until we flipped our approach. We ditched cold pitching and spent months lurking in US marketing forums instead. Started commenting on posts and dropping our own research insights. By the time we reached out to mentors, they already knew who we were and respected our contributions. Made the whole thing feel genuine instead of like we were just trying to use them.
We launched a client’s product in the US and I found the best mentors through SCORE’s email marketing workshops. These weren’t just generic business mentors - they actually understood American email regulations and how subscribers behave here. The trick was asking specific questions about automation workflows instead of vague ‘help us enter the market’ requests. It showed we were serious about actually doing the work, not just fishing for free advice.
