It's a great idea to start an on-demand handyman marketplace like Airtasker, it will require a feature rich platform for smooth operations and also to connect service providers and customers seamlessly. After evaluating several Airtasker clone scripts, I found Yo!Gigs to be the best choice for l...
What you've already done is a great first step. Here are two additional ways you can improve conversion: A) Right now you have two options - Free - $ + pro features To get more people to select option two, you can add a third option. This third option is a 'dummy option', you won't be expecting...
The best way to build an MVP is to distill the solution to the smaller unit of value to deliver something to a customer. Start small, time box it and focus on solving the problem at it's core even if it's ghetto (I call the best MVP's ghetto but useful). Here's an image that represents my think...

The struggle is REAL! MDs used to get paid by Pharma labs to get their attention (real life exemple: $30-80 just to fill a tiny online form). To my experience (consulting & entrepreneurship in healthcare/medtech), I would say that most MDs do not like emails, social media or cold calls. The best ...
Sorry to answer a question with a question, but why do you want to strengthen the relationship, rather than going your separate ways? A business partnership is similar to a marriage or other very intimate relationship. If you can't have open and honest communication, the relationship will suffer...
