✅ Launch email campaigns (171 leads) ✅ Phone call blitz (top 30 leads) ✅ Personal CEO videos (top 10 leads) ✅ Strategic partnership outreach (Aria, Keisha, Carlos, Priya)
Goal: 15-20 consultations booked, 8-12 sales closed
Week 3: Build Credibility ($17.8k budget)
✅ Technical spec PDF (15-20 pages) ✅ 3 use-case pages (Pool Decks, Large Gatherings, Multi-Property) ✅ Values transparency page ("Our Impact") ✅ 10+ customer reviews collected

Expected Outcomes
Conversion: - 31.6% → 40-45% conversion rate (+8-14 points) - 8-12 sales from pipeline ($200k-300k) - 15-20 consultation bookings
Foundation: - Technical specs complete - 10+ customer reviews - 4+ partnership conversations - 50+ waitlist signups (expansion markets)
Revenue: - $250k-375k in 30 days (vs ~$50k typical month) - 3-4x improvement in monthly run rate - Proven unit economics for Series A
Critical Success Factors
MUST DO: 1. Start Monday, October 14 (no delays) 2. Ship functional, iterate later (don't wait for perfect) 3. Prioritize ruthlessly (cut low-impact items if needed) 4. Daily standups (15 min: what shipped, what's shipping, what's blocked) 5. Weekly sprint reviews (Fridays: metrics, adjustments, next week)
MUST AVOID: 1. Perfectionism (kills speed) 2. Scope creep (protect Week 1-2 goals) 3. Analysis paralysis (make decisions <24 hours) 4. DIY everything (hire contractors for speed) 5. Waiting for alignment (bias toward action)
