My buddy paulsingh and I have been working on this for a few weeks, got something up and running and wanted to show you. The problem we're solving: When you need customer service (your flight got canceled, strange fees on your bill, etc) you just want to talk to a real person. Waiting on hold wastes your time AND your concentration; you can't be coding in the zone when part of your brain is waiting for an operator. Our solution: We wanted to make it "one click" to reach a real person. How it works: You click on who you want to talk to (even a specific department, like the billing dept at…

I had a sweet deal $5k/mo customer. Their usage had been dropping for weeks, but I was busy building features to notice. Got the cancellation email on a Tuesday morning. That's a $60k/year in revenue I could have saved with a 10-minute phone call, if I'd known they were struggling. So I built https://firstdistro.com . It watches your customers' health (usage, engagement, activity) and alerts you when someone's at risk. One script tag. Health score in minutes. Alerts to Slack, email or Attio crm. Happy to answer questions about churn prediction, customer health scoring, or…

Hello HN community, I'm Tousif, the founder of Smarter Sales, and I'd like to introduce you to our new tool aimed at addressing a common pain point in the sales process: getting feedback after sales calls.

Dear Hackers and founders, I am working on a startup which aims to make customer development easier, faster and perhaps lazier. We all know how important it is to talk to customers, GainGeek (http://gaingeek.com) makes this process easier. My hope is that this app will resonate with all those following Eric Ries's Lean startup and Steve Blank's customer development strategy. I thought it would be a great idea to submit my idea to the eyes of the most critical crowd I know. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Edo. PS: Some will note that this app could be intrusive. My bet is that the…

orignally shared this on startup school... i thought id' share it here. i'm using a `nocode communication tool` (a web-based interface... a single browser tab!) for all of these things: 1. landing page — the landing page is the product and i wanted for folks to feel "transported" right into the app without having to walk through a shitty b2b marketing-style content. this is akin to my experience back in the `BBS` days of the mid-90's where you were immediately into the app, community, and tool. no terms of service, no privacy policy. just pure, immediate value. 2. building community — we…

42% of consumers waste more than $100 per month on unused subscriptions. That's $1,200 a year. That could do a lot for you don't you think? I saw a Twitter (X) post about how someone forgot to cancel a subscription and it cost them almost $50. It's happened to me before and I'm sure it's happened to you. I built Subout to fix that. And so you don't have to pay a subscription to track and cancel unused subscriptions, I have a one-time payment of $5 for lifetime access. The price increases up to $50 for new customers as I add the features below. => Finding you one-time payment deals => SMS or…

You use Twitter, Facebook as well as email to communicate with your customers? With all these different services, it has become very hard to manage and keep track of all the conversations happening. My co-founder and I noticed this some months ago and asked people how they would like to handle this. And so we have come up with a new solution. We launched into public beta about two weeks ago. The problem was: We had a very hard time explaining to people how we help them and why that's relevant. We were too technical and nobody really understood exactly what it was that we did. So we took a…
