Salam everyone,

I want to ask about the best methods for asking a customer if they have a problem or not. Sometimes when I talk to a prospect, they seem like they don't care about the product, or they don't even realize they have a problem in the first place.

Since the key to selling is asking the right questions to understand their real situation and then offering your product as the solution, I would love some advice. If anyone here has experience with this, please share your tips with us so we can land our first client!

Thank you all.

I feel like a lot of people are still looking at the AI space all wrong.

Most beginners I see are completely obsessed with building wrappers, churning out generic content, or automating tiny tasks. But honestly? A simple AI app with zero audience is dead on arrival these days. The real opportunity right now isn't the tech itself ,it's combining AI with distribution, SEO, and branding.

Instead of trying to launch another chatbot, the play seems to be building "media machines." Think about it: a solo founder running a niche blog, a newsletter, a community, or a short-form content channel can now leverage AI to output the same volume as a full-scale media team used to.

The real leverage point has shifted:

• AI + SEO (driving actual search intent)
• AI + personal branding (building trust)
• AI + tight, niche communities

Basically, the tech has been commoditized. Anyone can build a tool in an afternoon now.

Curious what everyone else thinks here. Do you agree that success with AI right now is 90% about distribution and 10% about the actual technology, or am I missing something?

We always hear about SaaS startups in the US and Europe…
But what about Morocco?

Do Moroccan businesses actually pay for software?
Can you build a real SaaS here?
Or are clients still preferring WhatsApp + Excel + phone calls? 👀

I know many developers and entrepreneurs here are trying to build:

• booking systems
• restaurant platforms
• delivery apps
• management tools
• AI tools
• marketplaces
• automation services

But the real question is:

What problems did YOU face trying to sell/build SaaS in Morocco?

Examples:

• Clients don’t understand subscriptions?
• Businesses don’t trust online payments?
• Hard to find first users?
• People want custom work instead of SaaS?
• Companies don’t want to pay monthly?
• Support takes too much time?
• Moroccan market too small?
• People ask for “free trial forever” 😭

Or maybe you found opportunities nobody talks about 👀

• What are you building?
• Did you get paying clients?
• What worked?
• What failed?

Let’s learn from real experiences instead of fake “startup motivation” 🚀
