Market insight

Develop an intimate understanding of and empathy with the primary buyer personas in our target market

Check out how to use the concept of Profiles and Propositions to better understand what your target market cares about, and the concept of Alternatives to better understand how they are currently solving their problems.

Identify and understand the alternate solutions people are already using to solve the problem

Read more about Alternatives.

Be wary of an inability to identify alternatives to your solution. If people aren't using something else to solve the problem that your solution is designed to solve, it may be an indication that people don't sufficiently care about the problem to invest in having it solved.

Identify and speak with people who have recently invested time and money to make progress on the thing I help people do

Before we can sell somebody a product, we first need to understand how it will fit into their lives.

If your product has not yet launched, interview someone who bought a competitor's product, used a workaround, or asked for “alternatives to” on Twitter. In other words, find someone who has recently invested time and money to make progress on the thing you help people do.

Strategy and planning

Build an exit-strategy

A strategy for closing down the business if it fails.

A strategy for exiting the business if it succeeds.

Plan for success

Success is the last thing that should catch you off guard. Even though success is by no means a given, assume that you will be successful and plan accordingly.

This does not mean doing things that scale prematurely, but rather mapping out a path to success in order to better understand the road ahead and maintain accountability.
