    What do you think of this super simple mobile app CRM & SMS tool?

    IDEA 
    We have a voice menu where the user records a voice message that plays back when a customer calls in, if they were living in a 2 party consent state, we would have them include in that voice menu that they're being recorded

    Need help finding video success stories about customer discovery & product-market fit.

    IDEA 
    This is an extremely good video put out by Y Combinator talking about the early days of Gmail, Facebook, and other software startups in them going about iterating on their product, I think this could be useful: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCPjk8Tpb5c

    What do you think of this super simple mobile app CRM & SMS tool?

    IDEA 
    Hi everyone. I built a really simple mobile app that is a CRM for Home Service contractors, but I'm considering opening it up and marketing it to a broader market. It is an all-in-one business tool where you can set up a separate business phone number to send/receive text messages to clients...

    Frustrations with developers.

    EXECUTION 
    This is really good advice. I studied Computer Science at the University of Utah, am a technical founder of my own SaaS startup, and have been building apps for the last 5 years. Continuing to dump more money into paying developers is a BLACK HOLE. I know people who have spent over $200K on...

    Scaling a window cleaning company

    EXECUTION 
    All the features of the app are probably overkill for you at this point, tbh., so it wouldn't make sense even if you wanted to pay me to get access to all the features at this point. I have companies that currently just use the estimating and invoicing and I don't charge them for it because...

    Need field-friendly software suggestions

    SAAS / APPS 
    Hey, I'm working in this space so can add my two cents. I have an app similar to the ones mentioned above called Field Rocket, however we don't have custom forms or checklists built out for it. If that's the most important thing you're looking for, I recommend Jobber. From what I've seen...

    Scaling a window cleaning company

    EXECUTION 
    I don't even think you need a website at this point if you just create a Google Business page. That can basically serve as your website for your first 10-20 customers. I would say it's more important to get reviews so that you show up on Google Maps and search results when people search for...

    Scaling a window cleaning company

    EXECUTION 
    Hey, awesome work. Window washing is a great business to start because there is enough demand that you can almost immediately hit the ground running, just like other service-based labor businesses. See: View...

    Home Service Cloud Update: SaaS product for Small Service Businesses

    SAAS / APPS 
    Hi everyone. I got a lot of feedback on my first post here, so I was hoping to pick the community's brains on a problem I'm working on. Essentially, I've narrowed down my ideal target to owners of small service/contracting companies that are hitting 4-5 appointments per day, who's owner is out...

    Help! How do I sell my SaaS application to HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Maid Service, Yard Care, etc., Companies?

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Great insight, thanks for sharing. I may need to do some more primary market research on tradespeople's reaction to the whole "cloud" concept. I do want people to think it's revolutionary and radical.. however maybe that's not the right approach for the current buyer persona, as all the small...

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Great comment, thank you. One company is an HVAC company, the other is a landscaping company. I've made it pretty easy to customize for different businesses and with the awareness this will likely span different domains. I've thought a lot about the custom feature development thing. That...

    Thanks for your post, it sounds like you'd also be a great person to talk to about this. I'd love to hear about some of your approaches to finding these digital agencies and marketers who deal with these types of companies. Can I get you on a zoom call in exchange for an Amazon gift card? :cool:
