Company size (e.g. 1,000-5,000 employees)

Job title (e.g. engineering manager, social media manager)

Pain point you’re solving (e.g. compliance, internal transparency
transparency)

Company’s unique way of working (e.g. design-driven, operationally heavy)

Specific tech used (e.g. data warehouse, GitLab)

Type of business (e.g. B2B SaaS, e-commerce)

Price point (e.g. sells software that’s $10k ARR)

Geo (e.g. urban centers, LatAm)

A unique place the user spends time (e.g. Node.js community)</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Good innovations solve problems that formerly had only inadequate solutions—or no solution. Prospective condo buyers were looking for simpler lives without the hassles of home ownership. But to get that, they thought, they had to endure the stress of selling their current homes, wading through exhausting choices about what to keep. Or they could stay where they were, even though that solution would become increasingly imperfect as they aged. It was only when given a third option that addressed all the relevant criteria that shoppers became buyers.Jobs are never simply about function—they have powerful social and emotional dimensions. Creating space in the condo for a dining room table reduced a very real anxiety that prospective buyers had. They could take the table with them if they couldn’t find a home for it. And having two years’ worth of storage and a sorting room on the premises gave condo buyers permission to work slowly through the emotions involved in deciding what to keep and what to discard. Reducing their stress made a catalytic difference.]]></description>

    <link>https://hbr.org/2010/07/stop-trying-to-delight-your-customers</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>The immediate mission is clear: Corporate leaders must focus their service organizations on mitigating disloyalty by reducing customer effort. But service managers fretting about how to reengineer their contact centers—departments built on a foundation of delighting the customer—should consider this: A massive shift is under way in terms of customers’ service preferences. Although most companies believe that customers overwhelmingly prefer live phone service to self-service, our most recent data show that customers are, in fact, indifferent. This is an important tipping point and probably presages the end of phone-based service as the primary channel for customer service interactions. For enterprising service managers, it presents an opportunity to rebuild their organizations around self-service and, in the process, to put reducing customer effort firmly at the core, where it belongs.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Let me dispel with the suspense; it doesn’t appear that Henry Ford ever actually uttered this famous and polarizing phrase. We have no evidence that Ford ever said those words. (My methodology in determining the non-existence of this quote is a footnote to this blog post.)

However, even if Ford didn’t verbalize his thoughts on customers’ ostensible inability to communicate their unmet needs for innovative products — history indicates that Henry Ford most certainly did think along those lines — and his tone-deafness to customers’ needs (explicit or implicit), had a very costly and negative impact on the Ford Motor Company’s investors, employees, and customers."]]></description>

    <link>https://ssir.org/articles/entry/understanding_the_risks_of_nonparticipation_in_philanthropy</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Thought experiment posed to me: imagine replacing "benificiary" with "customer". 
"There are eight levels of participation. From least participatory to most, they include:

Manipulation: The program involves beneficiaries for the express purpose of engineering their consent to (or support for) a philanthropic program.
Therapy: The program involves beneficiaries to generate social proof of their need for a philanthropic program.
Informing: The program has a one-way flow of information from those administering it to the beneficiaries. There is little to no opportunity for beneficiaries to influence the program, such as by negotiating with administrators or providing feedback.
Consultation: The program involves beneficiaries in surveys and meetings, but provides no assurance that their ideas and concerns will be taken into account. The program conceptualizes beneficiaries as statistical abstractions.
Placation: The program allows beneficiaries to advise ad-infinitum, but administrators retain the right to judge the legitimacy or feasibility of the advice.
Partnership: The program directly involves beneficiaries in decision-making mechanisms, and exercises decision-making power through negotiation between beneficiaries and program administrators.
Delegation: The program gives beneficiaries dominant decision-making authority, and resolves disagreements between administrators and beneficiaries through a bargaining process.  
Community-led: Beneficiaries govern the philanthropic program and are fully in charge of administration. The program is essentially community-led with no intermediaries."

Tell me how you decided to choose X over Y.  Tell me how you decided now was the time to purchase. Tell me what pain point was the tipping point.  Tell me who had requirements, who made the business case for it, who had to be convinced.

When we ask about pricing or perception, here’s what we are thinking:  this is a lever; if I move this lever, can I change the outcomes?    

What we should be starting with is this: what are the levers that matter?

And then: will these levers’ priority be consistent over time and changing situations?

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["“Positioning is the big bet a company is making over the long term,” says Supan. “It’s the strategy for building your business, product, and brand. It’s the clear action plan that will translate into positive revenue, happy customers and a great place to work.” Your position isn’t your messaging or your product roadmap—but it is the foundation of every decision you’ll make along the way.

Before you can embrace where you’re going, you need to understand who you’re taking with you. “Identifying the one thing you do really well that is original and defensible is the first step. Then you have to align your business, product, operations and marketing to ensure that you are building precisely what customers need—even if they didn’t realize they needed it until it came into their lives.”"]]></description>

    <title>What is Drip Marketing? The Complete Guide to Drip Campaigns, Lifecycle Emails and More</title>
    <dc:date>2015-01-07T00:56:28+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://zapier.com/blog/drip-marketing-campaign/</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Drip campaigns, as mentioned above, are automated sets of emails that go out based on specific timelines or user actions. They enable you to stay in touch with groups of people based on events like when a user signs up for an account or how often that user visits your site. Each time a drip email is sent out, it comes from a queue of already-written emails—there's no need to manually write and send each one. They can even be personalized with your contacts' name, company info, and more.

Put simply, drip marketing is all about giving people the right information at the right time. If someone just subscribed to your blog newsletter, for example, a drip campaign could send a welcome email right away, and two days later, an email that shows off some of your most-read content. Or if a potential customer has been hovering around your "premium upgrade" page for a few weeks but hasn’t yet pulled the trigger, a drip campaign could send them an email with five reasons to purchase the premium plan.

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["What Goes Unopened Goes Unread

Startups tend to criminally underestimate the power of a compelling subject line. Just like many of the best marketers spend half their time on a blog post just writing its headline, a significant amount of time should go into a subject line that drives clicks. If your subject line isn't piquing your users' curiosity, it doesn't really matter what's inside the email—the recipient will never get that far.

Writing compelling subject lines is an art unto itself, but the best cheat code I've found for ones that lead to high open rates is to keep things as close as possible to the kind of subject line you'd send a friend.

This typically means keeping them brief, personable, and almost unprofessionally informal. For example, a subject line like "You there?" will almost always beat out "Our records indicate you haven't logged in for 20 days.""]]></description>

An easy way to start is by always asking questions in support responses. "What are you building?" "I noticed you work here -- are you looking to integrate X for Y? Things like that." The better you know your customer, the better your product will be."]]></description>
