Build & Launch Your SaaS in Under 7 Days

Most failed products don’t fail because of bad code—they fail because the builder made .

If you’re not talking to users, you’re building blindfolded.

This lesson is all about getting real insights that actually shape your roadmap—so you can stop guessing and start building what people truly want.

Talk to Users (Like… Actually Talk to Them)

Forget long surveys.

Real feedback comes from real conversations:

• Book quick 15-minute calls with users (especially churned ones)

• Send short, personal emails asking for specific feedback
Example

Subject: Quick question about your experience

Hey ,

Thanks for signing up! 🙌 I’m always trying to improve , and I’d love your feedback.

Was there anything confusing or frustrating about getting started? Even a short reply would be super helpful.

Really appreciate it!

Ask These 3 Magic Questions

You don’t need a giant question bank. Just ask:

1. "What confused you when you first tried the product?"

• Fixes onboarding gaps.

2. "What’s missing that would make this indispensable?"

• Reveals hidden value opportunities.

3. "Why did you almost not sign up?"

• Uncovers trust, pricing, or messaging issues.

Create Tight Feedback Loops

Speed matters.

Your product doesn’t need to be —it needs to feel alive.

Here’s how:

• Ship updates often—even small improvements
• Announce when a feature came from user feedback
• Create a simple public roadmap (even a Notion page works)
• Add in-app feedback buttons so users can easily chime in

How to Collect & Prioritize Feedback

Collecting is easy.

Making sense of it is where most teams get stuck.

Here’s your playbook:

1. Collect

Use:

• In-app forms or chat widgets
• Quick email check-ins
• Usage analytics
• Short user interviews

2. Categorize

Group feedback into:

• Onboarding friction
• Feature requests
• Confusion/misunderstandings
• Bugs or complaints

3. Prioritize

Focus on:

• Feedback that shows up multiple times
• Issues that lead to churn or frustration
• Feedback from ideal customers, not just anyone
• Focus on problems, not user-suggested “solutions”

4. Implement + Close the Loop

• Build high-impact improvements
• Communicate back: "We made this because of you."
• Make users feel like co-creators
