Entrepreneurship is about solving a problem that is personal and you see a lot of others also struggling with the same.
Have cold called a lot and it was a hard challenge to do that especially selling in B2B. Saw a lot of SDRs and AEs also facing similar challenges, and fast forward to today, we are helping Sales reps get better at cold calling without burning real leads.

Generating ideas for new features or products can be approached systematically to ensure they are innovative, useful, and align with user needs. Here’s a structured approach to brainstorming and developing new ideas:
Understand User Needs: Conduct user research to understand what problems or pain points your users have. This can involve surveys, interviews, and analytics to gather insights.
Brainstorming Sessions: Gather a diverse team of stakeholders including product managers, designers, engineers, and marketers. Use techniques like brainstorming, mind mapping, or SWOT analysis to generate a wide range of ideas.
Competitor Analysis: Study your competitors to see what features they offer and identify any gaps or opportunities they might have missed. This can inspire ideas for differentiation.
Emerging Trends: Keep up with industry trends and emerging technologies. These can provide inspiration for innovative features that leverage new capabilities. For more details Click On The Link

I usually draw inspiration from user feedback and emerging trends in the industry, ensuring that any new feature or product not only addresses current needs but also stays ahead of the curve. It's all about striking a balance between innovation and practicality.
New feature ideas for products like GB WhatsApp https://gbpro.pro often come from user feedback, identifying pain points, and analyzing trends in technology and competitors. For example, features like advanced privacy settings and customizable themes stemmed from user demand and competition with similar apps.
Well, usually I'll use the same category apps and then read the views about them. Some new features can be generated according to users' demands.
