- if you can find a way for just a single user to get value out of the product then you don't need to convince an entire team to adopt a new tool all at once. It could happen organically instead and over time. It would also give you a chance to slowly help/sell that team over time.
- the homepage doesn't really tell you what the product does. After signing up and playing a bit I now understand. Whats your conversion rate like from homepage visit to signup?
- I'd suggest telling users what the process is like. I didn't (and still don't) know whether everyone on my team gets an email every evening to fill out the info for the next day, or is it in the morning? Do you fill out what you did yesterday and what you plan on doing today?
- I think every companys process is slightly different, if you are convincing them to use a tool AND change their process you might run into difficulty. Maybe allow for different processes. We built an inhouse replacement for iDoneThis because we wanted something slightly different.
- The most important question is why do you only have one customer? Do they signup but stop using it? Do you not get enough signups? Do they signup and never invite their team? Have you asked them why? If all of the numbers in your funnel are really small, I would focus on the later steps. Make sure you built a product people want. Once your activation rate is high then start worrying about top of the funnel.
- forget the LinkedIn cold emailing. You're in the highest density startup city in the world, just walk right into any startup office you see and ask them to use the product
- Ask your engineer friends and other startups what they use and how you could get them to use your product instead
- We (Streak) would def use this if you adapted it to our process. I think our needs are very close to what you have. Find more customers like us and build what they need. Ask them to prepay you for 6-12 months for you to custom build whatever they need (we would do this). Reach out to me at aleem at streak.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! We cleaned up the homepage a bit and added a bit more of what the product does, but its probably still missing some details.
We will definitely reach out to you soon, thanks for the offer.
I thought he posted about the current page, which still isn't totally clear. How does one input stuff, when?
It is even possible it was there, but the cards looks mostly like "testimonials" (which they aren't) so it feels really easy to skim it.
There's also loads of "standup" tools already, which I assume this is. And do people like standups to begin with? I don't. Some of my days are just "still working on X".
