Hey Dangus, thank you so much for your time writing it to me.

So, regarding the landing page: the reason why I implemented that in the past is that: today, is hard to show some "value" to the user that are familiar with so many PRO landing pages.. but, honestly, I'll change the landing page in order to make it more simple.. because it was built for personal use.

Answering your questions:

Who do you imagine fits your ideal customer profile? - I'm honestly thinking about it... because, the user might have different purpose. If I'm looking for a contact management system that stores my stuffs in the cloud and gives me some insights about my contacts. - But, why having different solutions for contacts and having a bridge to connect them? For example: Kanban, file sharing, message, etc.. everything is related to contacts. - Another reason why I implemented it is because Gmail doesn't offer a way to know the ones that mostly sent messages to me.. including not desired messages. So, it makes easier to me to find those contacts and get rid of messages sent by them;

Regarding the video.. you're totally right. I'm a programmer.. I'm a nerd.. and I have 0 experiences with that.

Thank you so much for the ideas that you've shared with me. I'll start improving asap based on these feedbacks.

Thank you so much!



Some reading that could help you think like a sales engineer:

Great Demo! by Peter E. Cohan

Sales on Rails by John Haldi - less relevant to your scenario but it is short and could give you insight into how technical selling works.

This is some decent reading on ICP: https://blog.hubspot.com/customers/ideal-customer-profiles-a...

Basically, the short version of it is that you want to have a really good idea of the persona of the buyer that you want, what drives their urgency to buy, and how you address their pain points.

Some of this is more relevant to B2B selling but a lot of the ideas are still helpful.

At some point you might even want to think about who you don’t want to buy your product. Who will buy your product and then be unhappy with it?


dangus, thank you so much for such attention and feedback. You know might know that, as a business owner (not that I'm, but, willing to be), feedback like yours are precious.
