Show Notes

Have you seen a company build a free tool just to attract customers?

Clearbit's Weekly Visitor Report and CoSchedule's Headline Analyzer come to mind.

Sadra Boutorabi is someone who is no stranger to this strategy. As co-founder and head of growth of Namescan, he built and launched a free tool, and helped to secure the first $1m in revenue for the company.

Today, Sadra leads growth at Tiny, a fast-growing company that provides an open-source rich text editor. 

On this episode we discussed:

  • When is it a good idea to launch a free tool for lead gen
  • How to decide what free tool to build
  • How much resources to dedicate to this initiative
  • What other growth initiatives and experiments he has been running
