We did the same thing at Gingr. My co-founder and I were doing sales on our own for almost a the entire first year. We gave the product away for free and visited businesses in person after sign up to build a personal relationship.

One thing I’d add is that we approached these businesses like partners, not customers. Our pitch is that we wanted to create something great (that would save them lots of time) and wanted to hear directly from the horse’s mouth what would make the product great.

unrelated by on the bottom of every page of your website it says "GINGR, BOULDER, CO, 80302, UNITED STATES" no street address is not a good impression. Have you looked into renting a mailbox at a UPS Store? addresses on those things look like real street addresses with suite numbers and all.

Ah, good catch! We actually have a real office (and thus street address) these days. Will update. Thanks!
