Human-in-the-loop spreadsheet help + paid feedback calls (conversion funnel)

Offer live, paid help sessions that fix spreadsheet problems while collecting product feedback and converting users to SaaS.

Summary

Provide a paid service where users send spreadsheets and get a live call walkthrough solving their problem. Use these sessions to learn highest-value product features, iterate the product, and convert callers into paying users of the automated tool.

Problem

Many spreadsheet problems require context or domain knowledge and can't be fully solved by automated generators alone.

Target customer

Users who email complex spreadsheet problems and are willing to pay for immediate, tailored help (analysts, consultants, small businesses).

Solution

Charge for short, scheduled help calls where an expert solves the sheet live, captures feature requests, and demonstrates the SaaS product as a follow-up conversion tactic.
