I have been facing some challenges recently. I have been talking to potential customers and most of them like my idea, but there is one problem. I can't even get them to sign up, I managed to get a few but for the rest who liked my idea I have followed up with them at least 3 times. And no response. Has anyone had experience in this case and if so what should I do?
This is what I did for most of them:
Introduce my self and ask if I could speak to them ---> Ask them about the competition if they aren't liking the things that they are doing in a certain area ---> they say yes ---> I ask if I were to do "insert idea here", "Would you be interested in changing to my idea" ---> they say yes ---> then when I ask to sign up they say they will sign up but after constantly trying and asking again they don't make an account. It's like email marketing currently, for every 10 I get 1. Is my strategy ineffective you think or my there is not much actual interest in my idea? I remember reading somewhere, I think it was lean startup "The user may seem interested until you ask him to pull out his wallet" something like that, maybe it's similar.
