> the problem

Finding new customers takes time you don't have.

You're running the floor, quoting jobs, and chasing suppliers. Nobody has time to go hunting for new customers, and word of mouth only reaches so far. When a big order wraps up, the quiet months hurt.

You don't need to become a salesperson or learn another piece of software. We find the companies that need what you make, reach out for you, and hand you the ones who want to talk. That is the whole job.

Common questions

What exactly does mkdir do?+

We find you new customers. We build a list of the companies that need what you make, reach out to the right person there by email and LinkedIn on your behalf, answer everyone who replies, and book the interested ones onto your calendar. You show up to the meeting and talk shop. That is it.

Do I have to learn any new software?+

No. There is nothing for you or your team to log into, and nothing to learn. We run everything on our side using the tools you already pay for. The only thing that changes for you is that meetings start showing up on your calendar.

How long before I see results?+

We are usually up and running in 2 to 4 weeks, and most clients see real meetings booked by around week 8. Compare that to a new salesperson, who typically takes 3 to 6 months to get going.

What does it cost?+

We quote a fixed price up front, based on the scope of work, and you know the timeline before we start. It is a fraction of what a full-time salesperson costs, with no long-term contract and no open-ended retainer while we figure things out.

Isn't this just cold emailing? Won't it hurt our reputation?+

It is outreach done properly. We send from dedicated inboxes we set up and look after, kept separate from your normal company email, so your main address is never put at risk. Over 90% of what we send reaches the inbox rather than the spam folder, and we monitor that daily.

Who actually does the work?+

You work directly with the founders on every engagement: Varun on the outbound engine, Dheer on the AI systems. You are not handed off to a junior account manager.

Is mkdir related to the Unix mkdir command?+

No. mkdir (mkdirhq.com) is a GTM and AI automation company that finds new customers for manufacturers and builds automation inside their existing tools. The name is a nod to the command, but the company is unrelated to it.
