@david states that:

- Glide is rather for B2B (vs B2C) → I totally agree, this is my focus
- a large part of registered users looked at Glide without really using it → I have 10s of prototypes but did not dare proposing 1 to potential clients.

Why?

- I came 3 times in 3 months before really starting to use: it is very quick to do a “private - forfun - gadget - app”. But when it comes to do something that we trust we can provide to a B2B, this is another story.
- This other story starts with what I call the _BackOffice_ **\*** … which is relatively common to most B2Bs apps.

My view to **“Boost Glide BuyIn”** (for B2B makers ) would be to have:

- a basic template app with pre-made _BackOffice_ **\*** elements
- a 15 mn step-by-step video to adapt it.  
 → makers would (1) get rid of the backoffice pain, (2) focus on the core of their idea (which is what they like).

Had I this, I would have used Glide the 1st time, and more important, would have probably proposed my different apps to prospects: fees for me & for Glide.

> What I call Glide app’s BACKOFFICE for a B2B (non exhaustive)

_Bases_:

- user profile
- company profile (+ not registered yet users to ease on-boarding)
- internal stakeholders (employee per level, admin role …)
- external stakeholders (clients, suppliers, partners)

_Workflows_:

- on-board 1st user of a non existing company
- on-board other in/external users of an existing company
- notifications (whatsapp, slack etc)
- sharing on social network
- internal comments
- internal private-public chats
- payment  
…

@Drearystate, if Glide does not have time / interest in this “buy-in lever”, what if we just started ourselves to build this template?  
I am thousands of km away of your knowledge, but can share some 1st ideas with you in PM.
