We are in the process of validating our startup idea with the target users of our platform. They are mainly people in apprenticeship (technical). We want to provide them with a free service while generating revenue from company paying to access the service. Since the product is free for the apprentices, what question/strategy would you use to see if they have real intent to use the service? When the product is meant to be sold, there are strategies where you try to close a sale. But in the case of free product, how do you do or what question would you ask?
Your premise is to convert unemployed users into paid users. You see the challenge you are creating? Your future income is dependent upon your unemployed users' future income. If you are going to offer free use to gain ux feedback then partner with high-performance startups that can be converted into paying customers at a designated date. Choose a process that enables income and not one that inhibits it. My deep experience includes identifying and developing early stage money. Yes, we should talk soon.
