Hi! I'd take a look at the existing marketplace data / the business you have currently been able to book successfully and see what has been working. Example, are plumbers / handy type home projects most frequently booked, vs admin tasks, or deliveries? Then find businesses and local contractors in those areas, in your target markets and see if you can get them onto the marketplace. Referrals will be a major part of the success of this platform. I'd like to understand what your marketplaces advantages are, price, platform, ease of use, quality / trust to better understand your potential lanes of growth. Give me a call, lets chat!
I'd love to understand more about the product and the intended customer or the solution it solves. Finding producers for various products or even testing or selling MVPs will vary greatly depending on the product and the market / fit / customer. Do you have any customers lined up for this product yet? Or rephrased, why do you want to sell this product - is the opportunity driving this - as in someone wants to pay you for the product already? Let's hop on a call and chat through what you are trying to build!
Hi! My approach would be different depending on the specific type of business and service / product offered. B2B vs DTC etc... speaking with customers or potential customers and gaining a strong understanding for the pain points is part of this process. Understanding how big these challenges are and the cost benefit, how much they are willing to pay, and the quality of the product you can deliver is another. I'd be happy to chat more and run through the details, but like anything, the clearer and more specific you can get about the goal, the better luck / more likely you'll be at getting there / finding the answers. Give me a ring lets chat!
