This is your companion workbook for the No BS workshop "How to Get Your First 1,000 Customers." It walks you through defining your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) and the 12 channels that actually work for going from 0 to 1,000. Use it during the workshop or work through it on your own. Duplicate it to your workspace so you can fill it in.

What you'll walk out with

How to use this workbook

During the workshop. Follow along on each channel page. Take notes. Don't try to fill everything in live. You'll do that after.

After the workshop. Run the ICP worksheet (15 min). Pick the 3 channels most likely to fit your business. Do the take-home activity for each of those 3. That's your starter pack for the next 30 days.

Duplicating. Click "Duplicate" in the top-right of Notion. The whole workbook (home + 12 channel pages) becomes yours to edit.


Part 1: Define your ICP

If you skip this, every channel that follows is a lottery ticket. Spend the time here.

What ICP means (and what it doesn't)

ICP stands for Ideal Customer Profile. It's a one-sentence description of the kind of customer you're trying to win.

It's not a persona ("Marketing Mary, 35, two kids, drinks oat milk"). It's not a target market ("US-based SaaS companies"). It's a tight description of WHO has the problem you solve, badly enough to pay you to solve it.

A useful ICP definition has 4 parts:

  1. Type of buyer. Founder, executive, manager, individual contributor, or end consumer.
  2. Type of company or context. B2B SaaS in early growth. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) ecommerce doing $1M-5M. Solo creator with a 5k+ list.
