cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thank you for the detailed feedback, I do understand very well established freelancers are having a process in place, We are trying to make this for everyone else, not just the pros. If someone is starting freelance, they don't have the process, questionnaire and everything in place. I'll read this again and incorporate the main points :)
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
:) Thanks for this feedback. Will consider and work on this.

The coupling of freelancers is not a part of Sieve PRO, but a part of Sieve offering, it's very much different from this. Sorry about the confusion.

We've stopped making interim edits, it was when only a few people commented, now it's like waves of feedback :) I'll go through all the comments and work on this, will update you in a few days.

If you could send me some basic details about yourself, I'd set up a demo and see if this can be useful for you.

How much would you be willing to pay for this per month? If you want to take it private, please email me sanjay@sievehq.com

and hey thanks for the feedback.

Why is that? Can you please explain?

Thanks, will consider the feedback and work on this :)

I am not sure if there is always a first mover advantage in business. There is always an opportunity to improve/innovate and do things better.

:) Interesting comment. I was hoping we can serve both the groups, for 1, even when they are good at it, there is a lot of time expenses which can be reduced with Sieve. Thanks for the feedback, will definitely look more into this.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Will work on the suggestions! Thanks. We had an explanation video, commented in another thread.

Made it on fiverr with this guy https://www.fiverr.com/joeguilar
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Will think about his more! Thanks.

The personal assistant is a real live human :) and exactly does like what you mentioned, answer simple ones and escalate complex inquiries.

Will consider the pricing plans, ideally, we are trying to reduce the friction in beginning and have the least number of plans.

Thanks for the rest of the feedback, will definitely go through them :)

Been getting feedback for "professional" a lot. Thanks, will edit accordingly, we are working on an entirely new copy of the website.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for this! :)
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Looks like I can get the copy changes from here too :) Thanks for this!
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for this one! Tried using the smileys to make it look bit relaxed :) Will consider the other points and do the needful.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for the feedback, I think I've been hearing this a lot now, will think about this deeply and do something :) We actually had a lead generation too inside the platform, but its still in the process, ideally picking up all the leads around internet form slack groups, LinkedIn etc and qualifying the leads.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Can you please explain this a little bit more? I don't exactly get what you are asking!
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks, I think I have tons of feedback from HN now, honestly, I did not expect this much! :) I am currently sorting out each feedback and converting to actionable items, will probably come with a blog post or something soon about the actions :)
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for all the feedback, will definitely take a deeper look. About the personal assistant, the assistant is supposed to answer basic questions and nothing in details, it's a real person btw.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for the feedback, I'll think about this more :)
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
I think 3 mo is a pretty long cycle to test this out, we'd probably do a 7 days or until the first client comes in for the freelancer. No adwords as of now, we only posted on Product hunt.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for this feedback :)
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for this, we were running an experiment to build the key features in very less time, and I had a feeling deep inside that this was not the best of our abilities, that's why it came out like that and obviously listening to all the feedback here incorporating them.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
:) We actually had a lot more questions before, like branched questions if the user wants to fill out the LinkedIn or fill out all the details by themselves. It also had a payment embedded into the typeform. Thats when typeform was handier.
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for taking time to write such a detailed feedback. Some of the errors happened because we were updating in real-time with the feedback from HN :| The Elite 100 program was taken down yesterday due to low interest, I've briefed about it in another comment above. Thanks again! :)
cod3boy··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I am seriously considering the trial/freemium model.
