Hi Indie Hackers,
I am in the process of validating e-mail introductions business idea, and would greatly appreciate your feedback!
Background:
People personal and professional life depends on relationship building.
- Whether you are sales representative looking for leads likely to convert to real users - think of being introduced to people who are desperately looking for your type of product (vs. cold e-mails with low efficiency)
- Lawyer/accountant/broker with long (1-5Y) sales cycle, who aims to maintain relationship and to create additional goodwill by offering introductions to existing customers
- Or, job seeker, looking to increase chance of landing an offer successfully
If you send e-mail introductions often, you are likely to face the following problems:
- Hassle of asking for intro opt-in numerous times (more respectful than surprising somebody with unwelcome intro)
- Time required to draft introduction
- One person that you aim to connect forgets to reply: imagine, how unprofessional you might look in front of the other person
- After being moved to bcc, you have no idea if intro provided goodwill to both connected parties (contrary, you might get stuck on cc, being flooded with e-mails)
- Difficulty of tracking opened introductions
Solution in a nutshell:
Automatic intro opt-ins, feedback follow up, tracking intros, templates
Target clients:
Real estate agents, VCs, CEOs, sales, biz dev, media, insurance agents -
& other professionals who rely on relationship building
