Where to find researchers and educators in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Researchers and Educators

Researchers and Educators want to advance the field of robotics through innovative research and education. However, they can't get it because they struggle with accessing diverse and real-world robotics datasets.

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

Robotics Data Repository : RoboDataHub is a comprehensive data repository that provides researchers and educators with access to diverse and real-world robotics datasets for advanced research, simulations, and educational purposes. It enables collaboration and innovation in the field of robotics. Of course it is much better than the stuff from RobotShop, Robolink, or Clearpath Robotics!

How to find Researchers and Educators

You can get insights about the pain points of researchers and educators 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 researchers and educators 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 researchers and educators, 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: Robotics Data Repository.

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

If you do this manually, it may take you hours each day. Automate it, with a little help from the AI in CustomerPing!

Step 1 to find researchers and educators

To get started, edit the values in the following 3 input fields and click “Search researchers and educators”.

This is what will happen

An AI will brainstorm 5 good search keyword phrases for you to find researchers and educators and their pain points in online forums on the internet.
With one click, you can search for each keyword phrase right away.
CustomerPing will present the search results to you.
If you think that one of those results looks like researchers and educators wrote it, you can create a “customer radar station” on the forum where the post came from.
You describe what makes a post relevant to your business.
CustomerPing will “ping” you 24h a day, whenever researchers and educators complain about their pet peeve: They struggle with accessing diverse and real-world robotics datasets.
Good for you because this is something that you can solve with robotics Data Repository, right?

What to do when you get a “customer ping”

When such an alert appears on your mobile phone, you simply tap on it and join the conversation in the online forum.

Help researchers and educators to reach their goal: To advance the field of robotics through innovative research and education.

They will get to know, like and trust you. Eventually, they will buy your solution: Robotics Data Repository.
