Hola senors & bonita senoritas.

I just wanted to share an idea for the forum that is extremely important, a concept that should be implemented into pretty much every business.

Testing!

I've been offering out free trials (for a product) and am asking for feedback on my idea, getting some mixed bags of reviews with some people liking my packaging/product etc and others not or worse.... crickets. Of course, it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to make everyone happy although as entrepreneurs we can strive to achieve this unlikely goal, running around and collecting data and analyzing the averages and improving upon things that people have expressed dislikes with is absolutely amazing when it comes to making our ideas better.

I've been shocked to discover despite making a few sales there has been some ghosting involved, which is a bit worrisome. But even silence doesn't mean nothing, it indicates that people aren't excited about the product (which is feedback in itself) Since I am offering a free product in exchange for feedback I've had a few prospects give me the old ghosting, my online dating experiences revived 2.0 and sadly it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm not 6'4 & 265 pounds of raw muscle (hey I still have a hairline atleast) :humph:

But more likely that maybe my product stinks? Who knows, again some people like the product, some don't.
That's the beauty of testing, one of my favorite things I've gotten from Unscripted is the productacracy concept & focusing on value, if indeed my product lives up to expectations there is no need for me to market it (infact I am not at all atm and somehow alot of people are finding my site)

So far I've learned......

  1. I'll need to improve the actual product itself a bit
  2. Some complaints have been received on the packaging (I don't think this is that important but it could be) I had a few people tell me they absolutely LOVE it) so I'll need to run averages on it
  3. Listen to people on what they want / need from the product
While I have a product that could ?maybe survive on the push theory by heavy marketing and spamming out offers/deals/discounts as some companies do, my goal is here to have a product that markets itself, by listening to people & improving the overall functionality of it, letting people talk about it at the dinner table and suggest it to their peers.

Are YOU currently engaging with your own followers? When is the last time you asked them what they like or don't like about your own ________ Hearing what people want from you should have a very heavy emphasis & complaints are very much welcome.
