Customers make decisions quickly when they’re working with a blue-collar business. Compare that to how people shop for software. It’s a night and day difference. If you’re shopping for the right software you're deciding between five companies competing with each other. There's a lot to consider in that regard. ➯ What are the features? ➯ What can they do? ➯ What can they not do? ➯ How user-friendly are they? ➯ What's the billing process? ➯ What do they integrate with? ➯ And how easily will they integrate with my existing tech stack? All of this... slows down the buying process. There’s a lot of information that you have to digest when making that decision Versus when you have a pipe flooding water into your kitchen, and you need to fix it immediately. You're going to call three plumbers And you’ll pick one based on first impressions and the overall price. You're not going to spend a month being indecisive. That’s why customers make decisions quickly when paying for a blue-collar service.

For the past two months, I’ve been working on an exciting new software solution for the service-based industry. As we prepare to launch our MVP in the next two weeks, I had a breakthrough moment that I wanted to share. Recently, I hired a tree service company to remove a tree next to my house. Their service was fantastic, and I took the opportunity to chat with the owner about the software they use. He shared valuable insights about what works and what doesn’t. Inspired by this conversation, I decided to create a survey to gather feedback from local service-based businesses. My goal is to understand their current software experiences—the good and the bad—so we can make quick adjustments before our MVP launch. This feedback will help us deliver a product that truly meets the needs of the service-based industry. I’m excited to learn from these businesses and incorporate their insights into our development process. Stay tuned for updates as we move closer to our launch! P.S. If you're a service based business and you wish your software was better, comment below and I'll send you a link to the survey once it's complete.

From Jason Fried's recent post: "If you can feel a single customer leave, you're in a delicate spot. If you have a customer you can't afford to lose, you're in an even worse position. Now you're no longer a sovereign company making your own product, you're a consulting firm making custom software for that biggest customer, or others like it." I pulled it straight from Jason's post because it's well worded, and if taken to heart, it can save your company a ton of headache. Ask me how I know...

Hey SMB owners, let me ask you a question: Would you buy a pair of shoes that don't fit, just because they're cheaper than tailored shoes? Of course not. Then why settle for an off-the-shelf solution when it comes to your business? Custom-fit software is a specialist solution businesses should invest in. Don’t get me wrong, off-the-shelf solutions are great starting points, but they have their limitations: ✖ Limited functionality ✖ Poor support ✖ Template designs Whereas, custom software: ✅ Adapts to your specific needs ✅ Offers scalable solutions ✅ Provides you with full support By choosing custom software, you're investing in efficiency, security, and a competitive edge in the market. Get in touch with a specialist software development team. It’ll be worth it in the long run. Dustin Carl Aaron Konyer Tim Thomson
