## First sale, step by step
Start here: make one private sample of the deliverable (accomplishment interview, tailored CV, profile and reusable application tracker) for one real prospect (buyer: job seekers) and send it to them personally.

1. Write your offer sheet for one narrow buyer (Build 01 helps). Name five real prospects you can reach without buying a list.
2. Make one private sample with invented or public information. Never use someone's private data without permission.
3. Send five personalised messages, one at a time, each with a reason that is specific to that person. No mass messages.
4. Offer a small, bounded first job with a clear price, timeline and revision limit.
5. Deliver, run the acceptance checks below, get written approval, and ask for an honest testimonial only after real work.

## Acceptance checks (proof to keep)
- [ ] The work delivers what the offer says: accomplishment interview, tailored CV, profile and reusable application tracker
- [ ] Boundary kept: no invented skills, employers or achievements
- [ ] The client approved the work in writing
- [ ] No invented reviews, numbers or guarantees anywhere
