    Feedback on new business idea

    What a pathetic response, why did you even comment? A prime example of the negative attitudes I often see on here and a great way to alienate new users in a section of a site intended to promote conversation. I didn't dismiss anything and took on all feedback. The thread also promoted...

    Feedback on new business idea

    Yeh it's shocking how many of them lose money by not even invoicing! You're correct, it's a hard sell but it's also the type of thing I could do in my spare time so if the client list builds slow, it's ok. I think getting one client and giving the service free/discounted in return for a very...

    Feedback on new business idea

    You've pretty much got it. A lot of tradesmen leave loads of money on the table with bad habits but as you say, it's convincing them there's a problem. I suppose I'd need to find people who realise their business is a bit of a mess but self aware enough to realise they just won't get around to...

    Yeh again, not trying to convince every single tradesperson. Just need a small fraction.

    Yes that would certainly be one profile to target. Interesting, I doubt it was exactly the same as what I'm proposing - it's quite hard to explain the nuance here. I'd have to create a landing page as well as a detailed prospectus that can be downloaded as the devil is in the detail.

    tradespeople who want a turn key solution and don't have the time/understanding to sort all these individual peices on their own.

    Feedback on new business idea

    I'm not going after the average plumber. Using my franchise analogy again, most tradespeople are not interested in franchising - those brands only a fraction of the tradesperson population who are interested in pursuing that particular model. Your example of the plumber you know, I'm not going...

    I'm not sure what you mean by the control element? Yes, as you say this could lend itself neatly to a tiered pricing model.

    Feedback on new business idea

    True to an extent but a tradesperson who is on the ball and has outsourced numerous services isn't my target audience. To give an analogy, there are plenty of people who purchase trade franchises. Can people not just start a business on their own? Of course they can but those aren't the...

    To clarify, I am not a marketing an app. This is not something available on the marketplace to download and just start using. This is a consultancy service with an onboarding process, face to face calls etc. The goal is not to compete with field management apps. Hence route to market is not...

    Feedback on new business idea

    I'm considering a consultancy business pitched to tradespeople. The premise is essentially that tradespeople have little time to run their business beyond the core activity on the tools. My consultancy would be a virtual business partner of sorts allowing the owner to run their business from...
