Let's Practice Last Week's Customer-Centric Approach!

2 Actionable Practices to Validate Our Ideas from BizStack (Reddit and A Dog Walking App)

This week's issue shows how a solopreneur used Reddit to unlock the secrets of their ideal customer's heart (and mind!). Get ready to be inspired and see how you can replicate this approach ANYWHERE in your business.

Ready to transform customer understanding from theory to growth fuel? Check out the video below, and get ready to take action!

A Dog Walking App

Solopreneur on the Go: Validating My Dog Walking App

The Pups' Pain: Our furry friends need walks, but busy schedules leave them stuck at home.

Feeling the Leash-Strain?

1. Ever struggle to find time to walk your dog during your busy day? (Yes/No)
2. How guilty do you feel (on a scale of 1- "meh" to 5- "heartbroken pup-eyes") when you can't walk your dog?

Wagging a Solution:

1. What's your biggest challenge in getting your dog regular walks? (Open-ended)
2. Imagine an app that connects you with reliable dog walkers for on-demand walks. Would that ease your mind? (Yes/No)

Top Dog App?

1. Have you ever used a dog walking service before? (Yes/No)
2. What features would be most important in a dog walking app? (Open-ended)
3. Would you be comfortable using an app to schedule walks for your dog? (Yes/No)

Who's the Good Boy/Girl?

1. Tell me a bit about your breed and their exercise needs. (Open-ended)
2. How do you usually find pet care services? (Open-ended)

Bonus Tip!

• Is there anything about dog walking that I haven't considered? (Open-ended)

Remember: Keep it short, spark conversation, and focus on understanding pet owner needs.

See you next week.
