A Glimpse Into a WaaS in the Wild
In this video I give you a behind the scenes look into our own WaaS, AutoCareProSites.com. We start the tour at the landing page, I take you from the signup process, all the way to what the user experience is like when they attempt to cancel their service...and I show you EVERY step in between.
If you're not sure how this all works or what this is all about, you'll definitely want to watch this video.
Enjoy!
4. Survey Your Audience:
What do people think of your WaaS idea? Is it something that people really need and are willing to pay for? It’s much better to go after something that has a high potential for success and a great way to gauge the quality of your idea.
The key is to get feedback from potential customers to get feedback and understand their perspective better. Doing this early - before you get too far into the planning and execution stages - is essential creating a truly useful WaaS that your audience is going to love. Constructive feedback is a good thing because at this point there’s still time for you to pivot and take the WaaS in the right direction.
Creating a survey is a great way to find out.
If you're not already familiar with Ryan Levesque's ASK Method for using surveys to grow your business, I highly recommend you get your hands on a copy of his book.
In this section, we're going to use my take on Ryan's method to create a survey to find out what your audience thinks of your proposed WaaS idea and get their input about what they'd find most useful.
