Direct Quote

"It was like too, it was for a company too big. I sort of like came to grips with like, we're essentially an SMB...I can't afford to hire a fractional rev ops person."

Market Gap

SMBs struggle with overly complex CRM systems.

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) often find themselves overwhelmed by complex CRM systems designed for larger enterprises. These systems can require extensive customization and maintenance, which are often beyond the resources of SMBs. The result is that many SMBs either use these tools inefficiently or abandon them altogether, leading to lost opportunities and disorganized customer interactions. As the market shifts towards prioritizing user-friendly tools, there is a growing demand for CRM solutions that cater specifically to the needs of SMBs, combining simplicity with essential functionalities.

Summary

Create a streamlined CRM specifically tailored for SMBs that focuses on ease of use and essential features. This CRM should eliminate unnecessary complexity, allowing small businesses to manage customer relationships more effectively without needing extensive training or technical support. By prioritizing integration with tools that SMBs already use, such as email and project management software, this solution can provide a cohesive user experience. The target audience would be small business owners and teams looking for a practical and affordable CRM alternative.

How should I validate this saas idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a saas idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Technical to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your high difficulty idea?

2:35 PM

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

2:36 PM

Based on your idea's complexity and 3-6 months, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available $10,000+
  • Plan for scalability from day one

I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...
