Prospective customers are great for several reasons: - They represent your target market, so their interests and skill level will be a good match for assessing not only technical fitness but also usability. - They're more motivated than most because they'll benefit directly from what the product delivers. - When encouraged to speak candidly they'll be a wealth of information about possible new features for v2.0, opportunities for refinements in v1.1. - Some will be so grateful to work with a vendor that actually listens to customers that they'll be happy to put in the time for great testing just to get a free license for the software. - If you don't already have a list of prospects to contact about testing that may be an indicator of the state of your marketing plan. After all, if you can't find prospective users who'd want a sneak preview of something that will benefit the work they do, you won't be able to find prospective users to become customers. Cultivate that inner circle of end-users and so much becomes much easier... -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
