We sow seeds.
You harvest crops.
Most FileMaker developers are good at building applications, not marketing. Finding new customers is a completely different skill set than developing software. Most of us don't have time to be good at both. Sprout is a way to fix that.
Say you meet someone new and they ask "what do you do?" If you've been running a successful FileMaker shop, you probably have turned that conversation into new business a few times. So what if we could make that winning conversation happen more often?
Sprout helps you find those conversations. We believe that each FileMaker developer has a sweet spot; a type of customer or project where they truly thrive. Think of it like growing different kinds of plants. A palm tree won't grow in Chicago, but it will in Los Angeles. FileMaker developers are no different. You'll grow faster if you optimize for your own soil and climate.
That's why Sprout is designed to feed you a manageable amount of your preferred type of customer. Enough to keep your business growing and healthy, but not so many that gardening becomes a chore. And the best part: every contact comes with evidence of a real, worthwhile reason to reach out. Then you plant the seedlings and tend what grows.
We work with you to discover what customers you're best positioned to sell.
We find the right contacts, craft a narrative and send the details to your phone.
You use the narrative to reach out and qualify each prospect.
Sprout is best for FileMaker shops who have some completed work they can show off and a desire to grow. You don't need 18 years of direct marketing and sales experience (like Sully has) in order to be successful. All you really need is 15 minutes a day and the belief that you can help someone you don't know yet.
