So, we’ve quickly built our MVP, and now we’re in the beta testing phase. We’ve been hustling to collect valuable feedback to iterate our product, but we’re hitting a bit of a roadblock trying to break out of our initial circle.
We’re using TestFlight for our beta testing, and while I’ve managed to rope in some friends and family, it’s proving to be quite a mission to get others to download the TestFlight app. (Am I the only one feeling this struggle?)
Out of the 101 people I reached out to, only 40 actually downloaded the app. As I grapple with this challenge, I’m left wondering why other members in our team haven’t even invited a single friend. It’s bugging me, and I’m feeling the stress, but how do I navigate this kind of behavior?
Welcome to the grind. Honestly your post comes of as blaming your employee when you need to be curious and look into why they don’t want to share the app.
If you are in charge then you better read the room because if your employees don’t want to tell their friends then maybe you have a blind spot.
Maybe they don’t believe in the app yet, don’t want to involve their families till it’s better, or maybe they feel like it isn’t ready. You should figure it out. It’s very important data that you can learn from.
