PROBLEM: Not enough time / method to practice job interviews, public speaking engagement before the big events. We get anxiety and panic attack when the time comes. There is no way to know how people perceive our conversation style.

SOLUTION: App Airsessment. Connect you with people to practice run pitches / job interviews / public speaking on demand by video calls, receive constructive feedback/ metric rating too.

Let's fill out a Quick / Fun 20 seconds form with a special discount attached as well. https://goo.gl/forms/gamJpB2QaNbikzxv2.

I like the idea. I fear that there is a negative association with a per minute pricing model. It makes me think of psychic and sex lines. I suggest looking at a per call model with a time limit; should the caller exceed the time limit, perhaps then you implement a per minute model.

I feel exactly the same. You need to change the pricing model. It's not just the negative association with hot lines, it's also the pressure to finish the conversation in the shortest amount of time to avoid paying a fortune.

Hello, this is an awesome idea and great service offering. I would love to use this service but I feel like pricing should be little higher in order to make me more confident to use your service.

This is our MVP only, will surely bring out more offering and rebuild the platform in the near future. Kindly fill out this quick 30 seconds survey if you are able to thank you

The sign-up flow to become a seller has many hurdles. I'm trying to set up and it asked my name 3 times, and now I have to create a full Stripe account just to continue. I don't want to go through that trouble. Once I actually have earned any money, I'll set up Stripe. But until then why bother?

Thanks for offering an alternative to PayPal, by the way.

(The reason I don't want to go through it is that I'm exploring your platform. I don't know if I want to actually invest time in it before knowing what it looks like behind the scenes.)

Hey

I understood what you said. This is only our prototype / MVP so the UX is definitely off. Apologies for that but you can be assured a full rebuild is in place.

Paypal option is there though, not sure if you have seen it or not. Regardless, thanks for your precious time

I think the offering is interesting, but the site design requires more thought. I left the homepage open for a bit and came back to a number of annoying, overlaying pop-ups. See the screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/b4uqzm/9

Right, thank you for the feedback. Will have a look into this.

Thanks for your time
