Where to find maintenance technicians in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Maintenance technicians

Maintenance technicians want to reduce downtime and maximize machine uptime. However, they can't get it because they struggle to predict maintenance needs accurately.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. PredictaMaintain.

Predictive Maintenance Software for Manufacturing : PredictaMaintain utilizes advanced predictive analytics to accurately forecast maintenance needs, enabling maintenance technicians to proactively address issues and reduce downtime to maximize machine uptime. Of course it is much better than the stuff from PredictivePro, or MaintainIQ!

How to find Maintenance technicians

You can get insights about the pain points of maintenance technicians if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where maintenance technicians hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of maintenance technicians, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Predictive Maintenance Software for Manufacturing.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
