Researching approval pain — 10-min call?
I'm researching how teams handle internal approvals (expenses, requests, sign-offs) — trying to understand if this is a real universal pain or specific to certain team types.
If you've dealt with approval bottlenecks (Slack threads, email chains, spreadsheets, whatever), I'd love to hear:
- How does your team handle it today?
- What's the most frustrating part?
- Would you be open to a quick 10-min call to share more?
Not selling anything — just trying to understand the problem before building anything.
Instead of asking for calls cold, try flipping it: post 3-4 specific questions right here and let people answer async. Calls are a big ask from strangers — I'm validating my own thing right now and written micro-surveys get 10x the responses of call requests. You can always invite the best respondents to a call after.
Good point. For those who do handle approvals — what's the most frustrating part? Is it the back-and-forth, the tracking, or something else?
