How to use the Happy Paying Customers Methodology

Hi there,

Most startup advice tells you to:

  • Build a perfect product

  • Create fancy pitch decks

  • Chase investors

Ashley Chang, CEO of Sundays, did something different.

She focused on getting Happy Paying Customers from day one.

Today? Sundays has surpassed $1M ARR in ~18 months from conception.

In this candid conversation, Ashley shares:

  • Why she chose revenue over fundraising

  • How she validated her idea with real customers

  • The exact LinkedIn playbook she used to scale

  • Her journey from existential crisis to $1M ARR

  • Why/how she used the Happy Paying Customers methodology

I (Sweta) also introduce the 5 components of the methodology:

  1. Set clear business parameters

  2. Choose ONE customer segment

  3. Craft clear positioning

  4. Build complete go-to-market playbooks

  5. Run go-to-market micro-tests

Our goal was simple: provide you both the ‘formula’ and Sundays example so you can apply just what’s relevant to your business.
