There is specyal type of questions to ask potential customers. The key take here is not to ask directly about your product because sometime people want to make you feel better.

So, instead of asking would you use my solution, ask about

- do you have such problem?

- how do you solve it now?

- have you searched for solutions?

- have you searched for paid solutions?

- how much this type of solution you expect will cost for you?

- are you ready to pay someone who will solve this for you?

and so one

Yes, I can answer all those, matter of fact some of the problems are well known and people complain about them all the time. I just need to prove that my non-proprietary solution is best and viable
