Takeaways
- A great way to get out of the revenue maze is to test before you invest. Before you invest into a new tool, you want to test other ones and make sure you are comfortable with the software you will be using.
- Before you put some money and marketing behind an idea, you want to make sure there is a target audience for it and that it can be a profitable idea.
- Your competitors are not just offering the same service as you, they are also filling a separate need that your clients might have.
- In the big picture, you aren’t selling stuff or things. You are selling a solution to a client’s problems.
- You need to understand your target audience in sufficient detail so that you can identify the needs and problems that you can try to solve for.
- If you’ve chosen the right investors and board members then they will have a mind for being nimble which is very helpful to an entrepreneur.
- The product or service is the most important part of marketing.
