Hi all. I'm a newcomer to the forum, (longtime lurker), but I read through MJ's books for the first time about 3 years ago (they completely shifted my employee, slow-lane wealth accumulation strategy mindset into the fastlane, entrepreneurship mindset).
In short, since then I've been slowly building out my SaaS application part time, while I was working full time as a programmer. I've since started doing this side hustle full time, and now have two companies testing/using this application as their daily workflow driver. (I might be adding a third one here soon).
The application is a Customer Resource Management (CRM) app for small home-services businesses -- for any company that travels to different locations to provide services, usually plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, etc. This application is a one-stop shop for appointment information tracking, scheduling appointments, keeping track of customer details and job information, providing estimates for work and invoices, and more.
It's developed for both field workers and office workers to access the application and communicate/collaborate on job information and scheduling.
I want to continue to grow and expand this application into a full on, million dollar + yearly recurring revenue SaaS business. I'm just running into some roadblocks of getting new companies and users on the application (let alone getting them to pay me for it).
However, I'm having a hard time finding other companies to use the application, and convincing them to use it. A lot of smaller, service contracting companies are either super old school (meaning they're not comfortable with technology and are intimidated by it), or they're already large enough to where they're using a much more expensive and complicated software program than what I've built.
Here is a short video demo of the features of this application:

Along with the landing page that I've created for it.
homeservice.cloud
.
Please, I would love any advice and feedback. Ultimately, I'd love to turn this into a full fledged startup, but I want to get more customers and have it be a viable business before I bring on investors that will want the whole company.
I also have relevant market and pricing information for some competitors in this field if anyone is interested in seeing that information.
