@propelics www.propelics.com 10 START WITH A DAY IN THE LIFE What is it? Basically stalking. Follow potential app users (employees, partners, etc.) around as they complete their daily tasks. A few examples: • Accompany drivers on a delivery route • Shadow sales people as they visit prospects and customers • Work in a retail store, stocking, auditing & answering customer questions • Visit oil fields with lease operators and technicians
