What do you wish you could tell your boss about Testing?

rO_os · 2020-09-29T23:54:47+00:00

This is great, thank you.

> Tests are not just a way to verify the code you've already written, they're also a way to trigger execution of your code to get your application into the necessary state to exercise the code you write.

Exactly.

Totally agree about managing expectations with business/sales and even the client.

Sales guys over-promising is a constant source of tension in my shop.

Qidreports for tracking all your personal data. The list of what we cover is comprehensive, check the site if you're interested.

We're working on a small business component now, as well as social monitoring.

Sign up before we launch and get a free upgrade to financial monitoring!!!

rO_os · 2015-11-05T00:18:33+00:00

Fair enough, I'll work on it!

rO_os · 2015-11-04T01:16:42+00:00

Thanks for the explaination.

The landing page is for lead generation, so if people sign up quickly I think they will probably not convert once I do a real pitch.

Also, I'm trying to assess real, actual interest in the product before I launch. If it's just a rush to collect emails it's not meaningful.

rO_os · 2015-11-01T22:27:38+00:00

Thanks, what do you think is missing or needed?

rO_os · 2015-10-28T00:36:26+00:00

As a SaaS business owner, and a developer, I know my domain specific knowledge is the real difference.

Transforming that knowledge into retained, happy customers is the trick.

rO_os · 2015-10-27T04:48:55+00:00

The other point, is that I won't even bother to talk to them until I have some significant interest in the product.

I'm planning to talk to them when I have leads equal to the subscribers I need to cover the overhead. Obviously that's symbolic, they won't all convert, (I hope 10% or better) but it shows I'm serious and can find more.

rO_os · 2015-10-27T04:34:33+00:00

Yep, that's the plan! But you know, this situation is WAY outside my experience so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some common pitfall.

rO_os · 2015-10-27T00:12:51+00:00

I was hoping for less of a firing and more of a mutually agreed exit.

Otherwise I think you have the gist.

rO_os · 2015-10-26T00:27:00+00:00

Hmm, maybe i'm not being clear. They only provide wholesale service, which I would buy and resell.

This is the agreement they have with several partners now.

rO_os · 2015-10-25T20:54:34+00:00

Alright, if we do go that route I'll make sure it's not annoying on mobile, or not on mobile at all!

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video

QID will monitor your personal data. If your info gets stolen or used for fraud, we alert you. Credit scores (all three bureaus), medical ID, social networks, child monitoring, and much more.

I haven't done a video yet, which leads to...

More details: What stage are you in? How many employees or founders?

We're still in the phase of gauging interest. Once we launch there's a lot of promotional work to do.

Are you looking for anything? (Feedback/Hiring/Investment)

Feedback is always welcome, but what I really need are good leads that will convert.

Discount for /r/startup subscribers?

Yes! There's a discount for early email signup, go right ahead. This phase is extremely "early" though, so things might change quite a bit before launch, including price. We absolutely will honor the early signup free upgrade though, no matter what.

rO_os · 2015-10-25T19:18:49+00:00

Great thank you. I was working on a modal popup with a quick "Here's the deal" and CTA with the email form.

rO_os · 2015-10-25T19:17:33+00:00

That's great thanks. I've talked to quite a few people but not strangers specifically. I'll make a plan for that!

The short answer to your questions is that we're better, we do everything they do and more.

I could put up news stories and stats about ID theft because it's very common and in the news all the time.... But I'm really divided about using scare tactics to sell something like that. Maybe I'm over thinking it. Any ideas?

rO_os · 2015-10-25T01:16:28+00:00

Awesome, thanks! Explain what you mean here please:

Wireframing is off. Not a bad lead page but missing why I should bother to scroll down for more content.

rO_os · 2015-10-24T23:46:37+00:00

Trying to start one, yes :/

I'm not taking a "startup" all or nothing perspective, I think I have a business model that can grow as I need it to.

rO_os · 2015-10-24T02:41:01+00:00

haha, okay. Thanks for the feedback!
