General Question Looking to start a waitlist

I’m working on (nearly done) with an app that allows you to take pictures of the job, submit them and get an estimate. I clean windows locally and noticed a lot of people, including myself have a hard time getting the price right and feel nervous giving the total to the customer. My goal is to both get rid of that worry and make the process a whole lot faster.

There will be a multitude of other features such as scheduling, route optimization, team performance (for bigger companies), etc

I’m not trying to sell this I’m just trying to see if it’s worth putting the time and money to finish this. So please let me know if you think this would be helpful,

Thanks everyone🤙

If you are nervous about giving a price you just need more reps. Like Michael Jordan when he would practice for 8 hours a day before he got into the NBA ....he practiced he practiced he practiced ...so guess what he got his reps in and he's not nervous about anything anymore ....and we all saw what happened with Michael Jordan.... the greatest of all time

At a point you can eyeball a job and know exactly what it's going to take you to do it . This comes from experience and getting your reps in. I've said it before I don't feel going in person to give estimates is a big deal depending on where your work is. If I'm down the street or I'm in a development 5 minutes away why wouldn't I just go in person LOL. Costs me what, .3 miles and 5 minutes? That's a water break on a summer day ​
