Comment on Ask HN: Best Way to Reach Local Business Owners?parent

Comments

Thanks for the reply and link soneca. I will check it out right now! Is there a rule of thumb regarding how many questions to stick to once you have the local business owners attention? Do they tend to get annoyed after asking so many questions?

I came to them after I have the idea of the product. They will only pay attention to you if you are offering something of value to them. Doesn't work here the aproach "let's take a coffee and chat about your problems".

You don't have to have anything built, but you will pitch as your product is functional and tested. So they will answer questions regarding your concrete product, not an abstract idea.

If someone decide to buy, then you build what you promised. If not, you try to learn why.

Do you mind if I asked what is your idea?
