Hi there!

Anyone familiar with Dane Maxwell or The Foundation will know about idea extraction.

My question is, what method of IE do you feel yields the best results?

  • Cold emails?
  • Cold calls?
  • Email, then call non-responders?
  • Something else?
And the second question, how do you qualify your market? How do you really find out how many businesses exist in a market, and how much they earn on average?

Many thanks!
