    Looking for Partners for a new FinTech Startup

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 06:51 AM PST

    Hey all,

    We want to announce that we started the development of an online app for the freelancer and small company finance analytics. We call it Blacbook.

    The idea behind the solution was molded for a long time in our minds, we tested it couple of times using the tools at hand and it shows great results.

    When we were starting up, we realised that there are no good solutions to analyze your financial state as a small company. All solutions that we saw were either too complex and bloated for the small businesses or individuals or too limited to gain any good insight from it. And none of these solutions really help users to understand how to analyze and therefore improve their business in a financial way. So we came up with an idea of Blackbook. But we were in the rush with our design agency (the main business we have currently), so just made a simple MVP based on Google Sheets and used it till this day.

    Now we figured out that this Google Sheets became overcrowded and it takes a lot of time to manage it and it lacks functionality. But we crave financial insight to know how to be more effective and how to move forward. So we made an MVP based on our own solution.

    The concept consists of 2 things:

    - It should be easy to fill in the income / expenses

    - The analytics should adapt to the goal of your research

    For the first point we want to use modern tools to help with data addition. Among the user-friendly interface we want to create Browser Extension that will allow to fill the data quickly and get it automatically from some browser contents.

    For the second point we use custom properties feature and rich visualisation tools. Later on we want to implement the AI solution that will analyze the data and give possible insights to the user.

    We learned on our own experience that the solution is working and helps to see the financial state of the company much better and clearly see the ways to increase your income and lower the expenses. We made several decisions based on the analytics for ourselves and they increased our imcome drastically.

    We see that it's a rise of independent workers and freelaners in the world at the moment and most of them have no idea how to properly track and analyze the income and expenses and how to make some use out of it. We saw that some just use Notepad to input the income and that's it. So we think that if we make a service from the solution, we'll be able to gain audience pretty quickly. Software as service model is easy to scale and manage, since you have clear KPI and analytics to make the decisions.

    We're a web-development company with the more than 6 years track record working with various companies from different fields of business worldwide. Nick is an CTO with more than 10 years background in design and development and Vlad is CEO with the same amount of experience in project management and sales. We have a team of talented people: designers, web engineers, managers who already work with us and can bring this project to life.

    But we have a lack of financing for the project, since it's our own solution we'll need financing for the team. Besides that, we'll need to have marketing budget to push the solution to the target audience. The rest will be on our end.

    So we're looking for partners to help us make change in the freelance and small business financing and have some fun along the way. Let us know if you're interested to participate in the project as our partner or investor and we can schedule a call and give you some more insight.

    Want suggestions on my Pricing for Appointment Setting Services?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:58 AM PST

    Let me just tell you a little bit of what I do so you guys can have a better context of that. Ok, so basically I help marketing agencies that are offering services like FB Ads, Content Creation, Social Media Management to book more meetings with their potential buyers using Cold E-mails and I'm the only person doing that and I don't outsource my work.
    Now, I'm looking to improve my pricing and offer to grow and charge more.
    So, I was wondering what should be my pricing for these services.

    Let me tell you about the value I can provide to these marketing agencies.
    So basically, I can get them at least 10-15 meetings a month for the 1st and 2nd month then at least 30-50 meetings per month. Now, the quality of these meetings/appointments is good because these are businesses doing at least 100k/month.

    Now, keeping the quality of appointments I have 2 offers and I want suggestions from you guys if I need to do some improvement or not-

    1. 1500$ Setup Fee(non refundable) + 100$ per meeting booked.
    2. 1500$ per month with no charge per meeting booked and you'll get at least 10-15 meetings booked per month.

    If in 3 months period you're not able to get at least 50 - 60 meetings. You'll get an 80% money refund.

    NOW,
    There are a few factors to keep in mind -

    1. I don't wanna charge them a deal commission because I don't wanna cut their margins.
    2. I don't wanna guarantee sales because some agencies are literally bad at closing and don't wanna put all the risk on me. I can get them 20 meetings and if they didn't close any then it's on their part, keeping in mind these deals are in the range from $2.5k- $5k per month and these agencies charge their clients on contracts for a minimum of 3 months.
      So, 1 deal is worth $7k in 3 months and if a single client stays with them for longer than 3 months they'll be making 2x of their Investment.
      And if they're good at closing and close at least 3-5 deals out of 50 appointments. They'll be making above 5x on their Investment.

    NOW,
    Keeping all these things in mind. What do you guys suggest?
    I want you guys to review my offer and suggest to me whether I should work on the pricing (like reduce it or even increase it), change my offer a bit, or guarantee something?

    I've posted this post in other subs as well, so you can skip it. Rather than leaving bad comments.
    So, please Constructive comments only.
