New business idea: Voice server, bookings and services through voice mail

Change your doctors appointements (and much more) by simply leaving a voice mail

Project

Voice server, to control bookings and services by voice

Description

If you're like me, you've already missed at least one appointment because you didn't note it down or you just forgot about it on the same day. I'm talking about dentist, GP, garage appointments... But the same happens for services and activities too. Voice server is an automated voice mail service that allows booking and changing appointments over the phone. No need to download any app or send emails!

Target audience

Customers are medical professionals, restaurants, garages not willing to waste time in managing and following bookings 24/7.

Revenues

Paid service based on the number of calls per month. Discounts for larger numbers of bookings. A real receptionist is available for an extra cost.

Strategy

Make painful bookings a thing of the past. By using an automated server you're changing the game and allowing your customers to manage their bookings easily and at any time.

How can I balance my cashflow and my product development?

Unless you have a regular source of income that covers all of your product development spendings, you'll have to continuously make sure you don't overspend. This has hard consequences: postpone work that isn't top priority, be frugal when dealing with salaries, focus on revenue growth instead of quality. Bootstrapping a startup requires to make hard choices to preserve your cashflow! Cashflow is king for most startups: even if you hand team problems skilfully, maintain a upbeat pace compared to competitors, money problems are still able to kill your business relatively quickly. One way of handling this is to have several regular revenue streams that make it possible to invest in building a quality product over time even if you don't get any funding. Stable resources are the key to a sustainable product roadmap!
