On the subject of selling to beta/early access customers, and figuring out how to communicate that you want to charge them for your app at some point:
In the very first email I send to early access customers, before I send them a login, I give them the value proposition of the app itself, then include this at the bottom:
“The price is $49/month and we have a 21 day trial (but frankly, during early access I’m willing to work with you on how long it takes for Drip to prove its value to you).
If the above works for you I can send over a login and get you setup.”
Only one person has balked at the price (which was fine – turns out they were not in my main market segment). Everyone else has entered with the understanding that I’m going to ask for their credit card number at some point in the future if the app is providing value for them.
And frankly, as you guys said, if you are able to wire up a sign-up form that includes credit card from day 1, that would be ideal. But we didn’t have that built until this week.
Good show, gents!
Thanks Rob, this is a really helpful example and real-life anecdote!
