Hello everyone,
I'm relatively new to the forum.
So far I consider it's awesome, and so is the community! I feel it worths my time.
I was looking at a few successful stories, and I've noticed something that's been bugging me.
It's not absent on the forum, not by far, but I think we all should learn and use a certain language.
Something I think we can change and improve. Now you may agree, or not. Here it is:
Many describe their success, which I get and which I respect. Of course, who's not happy when things get moving...
Yes, these people deserve congratulations and respect and support from the community.
What I didn't see that often, was some points about how they managed to deliver value.
Some also describe how they came up with the idea - that's a takeaway. So important.
And more, the replies that follow are most of them about : congrats, how did you do this, how did you do that.
Don't get me wrong, that is important information for me too! For all of us, no matter the stage of the business. We learn new things like that.
But how about asking:
- How did you manage to deliver better value?
- Do you have customer feedback? What did they say?
- Did you had negative feedback? What did they say?
Why is that important?
We would have a better understanding and a different mindset.
E.g:
I had success because:
- I delivered a cheaper product of the same quality. Or service...
- I managed to respond really fast to customer calls or emails.
- I refused to give up and search for a way to learn and improve this or that( This I see often and I like it).
- I used better materials for my product.
- I improved a lot the loading time of my webpage.
- I deliver my service in 12h comparing to my competitor's 24h...
Everyone could learn a lot from this. No need for the owner of the post to reveal secrets, but value generator actions.
I see quality people here on the forum, and I like that.
So my message would be:
A: for the newcomers - get interested in how value is created. And you'll have a business. That's what the book's about.
B: for the post owners when describing their road: tell us something about the value you created. So you, the ones that understood that, make others understand too.
In fact, this community is that good, as it delivers value. But what stops everyone to maximize that?
As such, everyone would learn from that, and build a mindset focused on spotting and generating value.
Value has different meanings for all of us. My product could mean nothing to you, but it does mean something to the people that decided to buy/reserve it.
The question would be: why?
I also wrote PM to others asking for certain technical things. But also checked-out that person's product, to see what makes it special.
Also, I was enlightened recently by Andy, about the difference between "subscribers" and "people".
Without realizing, seeing all kind of videos on the web, we get to use the term subscribers. I did. But when you think of them as people...it's something else.
My apologies if there's already another post like this. I haven't got to read everything here.
Now, do you, the reader find this post to be useful? Or not?
