I recently posted another entry on HN to get feedback on a quick prototype we built, to get genuine leads for businesses from social networks. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7927274)

That version was a very basic prototype with rough data, UI and was show casing the concept of the product. We got really got good and important feedback from a so many of you on the HN community and also got a lot of feedback from other places.

So we are thinking of taking the help of the vast community we have on the internet, to actually help us build this product, by taking weekly or bi-weekly feedback.

We did some improvements for our next iteration and made an actual working prototype of the concept. The changes we implemented in this iteration:

1. We included leads from twitter. 2. Modified the homepage a bit to help understand what the product does. 3. Added a video preview on the landing page to encourage people who are sceptical from signing up. 4. For each lead, we have a detailed view where the lead message is mentioned, about the person enquiring about services, and a status of the lead saying how many people are contenting for it. The user can reply from within the dashboard itself.

We would love feedback from all of you. If you can help answer questions like, what problems do you generally face while looking for leads on twitter? What other features would be useful while looking at leads? What other details would be useful? Any other feature which particularly helps you in getting more leads and increasing business.

We recently built a prototype which helps get leads for businesses from social networks. By social network, we mean any places on the social sphere where people are genuinely raising enquires. Example: nowadays, a lot of Facebook groups for entrepreneurs and freelancers have grown so much. On these groups a lot of people post their queries and look for references. Example, someone might post that they need an Android Application done, a logo, content writer or even require an event agency. Being a service provider myself, I have received genuine leads from these groups. We are looking at smartly data mining these enquiries and showing these leads to the relevant business owners.

Our target audience would be SMEs and freelancers. They will be able to add the keywords associated with their business and leads associated with them will automatically appear on their Leadify dashboard. Then the business can contact them via our dashboard and try to close the deal.

We really want some support from the community in getting feedback. How can we improve it further? What relevant data would a business owner want regarding the lead? How can we improve the lead generating experience of any business owner? What problems does one face in normally getting leads? How much would a business owner be willing to pay if the product gives genuine value and helps convert 1-2 leads per month?

Here is the prototype version of the product - http://leadify.in

Looking forward to your valuable comments :)

Thank you.
