ADN already has the product the market wants: curated rooms, vetted founders, and a 7-stage deal tracker that turns conversations into closed business. This proposal builds the demand engine around it — 5 strategies, 2 landing pages, a paid social engine, and a native iOS + Android app. Zero disruption to apexdn.com or @apex_dn. Pure compounding leads.
ADN — founded by Vijay Sharma, Kusum Yadav and Jatin Kapoor — is positioned as "results-driven networking that values closed deals over attendance": curated 25–50 member rooms, a structured 7-stage deal tracker, 90-day Buddy Program, and bi-monthly Friday meets across Delhi NCR. The product is sharp. The problem isn't what ADN sells — it's that nobody on the outside can feel it yet.
Instead of selling memberships, we open a public waitlist. Joining is free. Members who sign up unlock real, tangible perks — without seeing the membership pitch first. We earn the lead with value, then convert with proof.
Why this works: the waitlist makes ADN feel scarce, the perks make it feel generous. Every signup becomes a warm lead, a retargeting pixel, a WhatsApp contact, and a member candidate — all at once.
Each strategy is built to be deployed in parallel, measurable from day one, and isolated from the existing ADN web & social — so nothing breaks while everything grows.
A standalone, conversion-engineered landing page at insider.apexdn.com (or a separate domain).
Single goal: capture name, phone, business, city → drop into CRM & WhatsApp flow.
Hero with social proof counter ("1,247 founders already on the list"), 3-perk block, founder credibility section, event glimpse reel, FAQ, sticky "Join Waitlist" CTA.
15–25% landing page CR on warm traffic, 6–10% on cold paid traffic. Each lead enters a 7-day WhatsApp nurture before the membership offer is shown.
The page warm leads see after nurture. Sells the 2-year membership without ever feeling like a sale — built around proof, transformation, and partner discount math.
"What you get in 24 months" interactive calculator (events attended, partner savings, deals closed), founder video, member testimonial reel, transparent pricing, scarcity timer tied to monthly intake cohort.
Warm-traffic close rate 8–14% → from 1,000 waitlist signups, 80–140 paid members in the first 90 days.
A 4-creative-per-week rolling system on Meta (Instagram + Facebook) and Google Search, split into 3 ad sets: discount hook, mentorship hook, event-FOMO hook.
• 15s founder-led reels (UGC vibe)
• Static carousels: "What ₹X buys you at ADN"
• Event-recap edits (1 per week)
• Member testimonial cuts
• Google Search: 4 ad groups around "Delhi business networking", "BNI alternative Delhi", etc.
Test budget: ₹1.2–1.8L / month.
Premium B2B CPM (Delhi NCR): ₹120–250.
Target CPL (waitlist): ₹150–300.
Target CAC (paid member, ₹34k AOV): ₹3,000–6,000 → LTV:CAC > 5:1.
We do not touch @apex_dn. We launch a parallel handle —
e.g. @apex.insider or @vijaysharma.adn — built purely as a
content + DM funnel that feeds the waitlist.
1. Vijay's mentorship clips (3/week)
2. "Deals closed at ADN" stories (2/week)
3. Behind-the-scenes from the 24 monthly events
4. Partner spotlight reels (the 30–40% discount stories)
5. Member transformation carousels
Comment "INSIDER" → bot DMs the waitlist link → lead captured + tagged in CRM. This turns every reel into a measurable lead source — something organic IG alone can't do today.
The product moat. A native app that keeps members engaged between events, makes referrals one-tap, and turns the network into a living database. Detailed architecture in section 5.
Members refer 3× more when they have a referral link that auto-credits them. Renewals jump because the app proves daily value, not just monthly value. Non-members see a "locked" preview — fuelling FOMO.
React Native (single codebase, iOS + Android), Firebase auth + push, Supabase / Postgres for member graph, Razorpay for renewals, CleverTap for engagement, deep-linked referral codes.
A native iOS + Android product (React Native), built on a serverless backend so it scales with ADN without bloating ops. Every box below is a feature the user explicitly asked for, mapped to its data and service layer.
One signed kickoff, and we begin Week 1 within 48 hours. Zero risk to the existing ADN website, Instagram, or operations — everything we build runs in parallel, with results reviewed every 14 days.
