What question should I ask to check if someone would like to use my appointment SAAS?
Hello,
I would like to run appointment SAAS (something like appointy, calendly, supersets etc.) but first of all I would like to contact a few companies to make sure that they would like to use my product.
I decided to create sort of survey which I would like to send to them.
The thing is that I have no idea what questions I should ask to get knowledge about they interest and to promote a little bit my product at the same time.
I thought I can ask if they allow their customers to make reservations (for example through phone) and if they would like to safe their time to make this thing happen automatically almost without any time needed to handle these reservations.
Could You please help me to prepare the best questions?
Thank you very much

I'd ask them what their biggest pain point is with their existing solution.
I would like to ask mostly new opened companies so I am sure that they do not use any solutions yet.
That's going to be a hard sell. Most smaller companies don't have the capital to invest in much of anything, and you're going to be facing a higher rate of volatility targeting companies that may not even last to 12 months.
Trying to find solutions for people that don't heave a particular problem is more than likely going to lead you down a path of doing a ton of tail chasing. There will be a lot of pie in the sky ideas of what you should be building and I think your sales cycle will end up with a lot of the infamous "if it did this, I'd pay for it".
Since people don't have existing solutions, they don't know the pain points and will ultimately just be giving you their opinion about what they /think/ makes a good piece of software.
