Hi Susiana, While I agree with Joshua, what I've learned is the following:
In order to create that close knit community, you should keep naming your ideal customers to prospects, even though they have not signed. Imagine you're in LA, dropping names of big studio's showing "strong interest" in your space, will do wonders for convincing entrepreneurs and freelancers sign up. Not everyone is made to do this job though. You could hire a specialist agency and sign them as exclusive leasing agent for f.e. 4 months. An example of such a agency in Paris: www.hub-grade.com. Last but not least, try to put a process in place from day one. You want to capture and structure feedback from every conversation you have. This is where a CRM comes in. There is many out there, pick a platform which is simple to use, and could easily scale with you when you're growing. I've seen people use Capsule, Nutshell or Pipedrive. If you're looking for a specialised solution, take a look at www.getrialto.com (of which I'm the founder).
