Hi Shaun,
I read your posts on ordering Chinese goods on the Facebook Group “Taobao
Order”. I was impressed by the advice you shared with the community by your
ordering experience that you have accumulated.
I am building new software that helps people to facilitate their ordering
processes on Taobao, 1688… fast and efficiently.
I am not looking to sell anything, but since you have so much expertise with
ordering from such platforms, I’d love to get your advice on our product, so we
don’t build the wrong thing.
If you are available, I’d love to chat for just 20 minutes this Thursday morning?
Looks forward to hearing from you soon
Dear Catherine,
I read your post on Reddit Forum. I’ve noticed that you are struggling with the
“Delivery” feature in our product.
It appears that you have spent lot of time with our product and have a better
understanding of our product than other customers. Therefore, I would like to
solve your problem, and also get your advice on the products’ enhancement.
If you are available, I’d love to chat for just 20 minutes this Thursday morning?
Looks forward to hearing from you soon.

Needs
Here I would sum-up the main insight collecting from these interview:
Customer insights
▪ They are hesitant about the language barrier, the credibility of the products,
seller, delivery man
▪ They want to buy directly from the shop
▪ If they choose an intermediary, they would want to find out its credibility based
on friends’ references, reviews on social media, history and the development
process
▪ They want to track the ordering process and estimated delivery time
▪ They are willing to pay for service fees and home delivery fees, and the fees
should follow the market range

Market Research
Market research can be done by two approaches: Top down & Bottom up
#1 Top down: Define the total market and then estimating what our share of that market is:
Total market can be found by Google AdWords Keyword Planner. Here is the number of google ads’
volume of each key word:
▪ “Order Taobao”: 22,7 million
▪ “Order 1688”: 74,9 million
▪ “Order Tmall”: 19,4 million
Total market can also be found by finding industry reports for ordering 1688/Taobao/Tmall
#2 Bottom up: Find out the current sales of similar products and estimating how much those sales
we can capture

Epic Write the epic spec sheets that contain all
requirements for building a product, which
aligns with company visions and goals
Below is an example of the Epic spec sheets
#1 - Introduction
Epic: Export product data (type, size, price, image) when user paste product link on the
field
This epic is to:
- Improve the metric lifetime value and total visits
- Reduce user acquisition steps
- Reduce the risk of unstable data export (compared to installing browser extension
option)
#2 – Product requirements
User requirements:
- “As a user, I want to view the image and price of the product that I
have just browsed from 1688/Taobao/Tmall, so that I can buy the exact
product that I want”
- “As a user, I want to select type, size, amount of the product, so that I
can buy the exact type, size amount that I want”
Acceptance criteria:
- “Given I am a user and I click the “Select” button after pasting the
product link, I am presented with a field with the product image, price,
and the fields that I can select type, size, amount of the product”
- “Given I am a user, after selecting the type, size, amount of the
product, I can view my Shopping cart updated with the product, as well
as type, size, amount and price that I have selected”
#3 – Design requirements
#4 – Engineer requirements

In order to measure the difficulty of the task, ask engineers during Sprint Planning Meeting how hard
it is to do it, then we rate the task’s difficulty by its story points
The total story points that the team completed in one sprint makes the velocity number
Prioritizations
From these above analysis, we can have the tasks’ priority from high to low as following:
Extract product data when user inputs product’s link -> Extract product data when user inputs
product’s link -> Online payment

MVP I will go through 7 steps to run an MVP experiment:
The riskiest The users are willing to pay an extra fee if a reliable intermediary platform helps them to
assumption: solve the hard part of the ordering process
Prioritize the assumptions based on their degree of risk and difficulty: how risky the assumptions are
for the company or product, how much effort you need to make to test the assumptions
High Risk
1. The sale pitch video makes a fake promo to pitch the product
2. The tutorial video explains how the product works, and the uses of specific
features. Even it is not real yet, the video can be edited and added effects that
makes it look real.
Reasons:
- The target audience are young people, so they get familiar with watching
video
- Video reaches the audience faster than just the text pages
- Explainer videos can get through the product features
- We can get the feedback and ideas from users when seeing their interaction.
From MVP Experiment, we can collect Quantitative data Put it together in order to
From M.C.S, we can collect Qualitative data make decision on the product
