Stand-Up #4 - May 10th, 2020
It's been about 2 months since my last update, so I want to give you a quick follow-up of what I accomplished this weekend for my side project https://wp.care:
- I completed the development work for the sign up form and worked out a "sales funnel".
- I tried to automate the "sales funnel" as much as possible. After a customer signed up, I will create a subscription via Stripe (for recurring revenue). Then I created a Slack bot that notifies my team about the new customer. Then an email gets sent out to the customer through EmailJS. The customer is prompted to send us his login credentials for their WordPress and hosting provider account. One of my virtual assistants will kick-off the onboarding process. If you want to know more about the onboarding details and how I used tools like Trello, SendBoard and Zendesk to automate customer communication as well, then feel free to reach out to me.
- I tested the funnel several times and deployed a new version of my project on https://wp.care/. Now it's finally time to get the first customer! :)
All the best,
Manuel

Sounds like great progress. Automation part especially is pretty awesome. BTW, do people really give you their raw credentials? Don't know much about Wordpress business so forgive me if that's a common practice and my question is therefore dumb.
@hkanaktas Thanks for sharing your feedback. After a customer signed up, we send them a welcome email. In that email we ask them to send us their login credentials through a website called https://1ty.me/. The tool generates a "self-destructing link", so there is some sort of data privacy involved.
